"halo bebi choco bebi!"

Darn this school for letting me out so late! Also darn this school for having no heating..It`s so darn cold!!!

Anyways...teaching went ok, I had introduction lessons only, so all in all it was pretty easy and fun. I hate the 6th graders...well that`s a lie..it`s just..they so don`t care..which makes my job more difficult..while I have a smile plastered on to my face all I am imagining is owning jean greys super powers (X men), and making the students stick to the ceiling until they listen and stop making stupid scarcastic comments in japanese. Alas I have no such powers..so I`ll just mumble something under my breath in english.
Grade 2 were great though...really enthusiastic and good! this one little boy made me laugh because before I could ask his name he said to me in a very japanese accent "hello baby, choco baby". I just cracked up, and couldn`t stop laughing, which got everyone else laughing too. I had lunch with those kids too...which was fun. In japanese schools they tend to play music during lunch time. Today was a mix of J-pop, j-rock and j-hip hop. I was bobbing along to the music..doing some funky moves, and all the kids wer eloving it. Especially when I did my eqyptian head movement thing. So lunchtime turned in to a dance class. let`s all learn how to mpove our head in a funny way, and wiggle those shoulders. I also taught them how to that proper hip hop style hand movement thingy. So there you have about 15 7/8 year olds all doing these hip hop signs..being all cool. It was fantastic. Kids are great.

On my way home I met up with Hannah who trained with me, she`s replacing someone for a week over here. We were just about to go off to dinner when we bumped in to Amy who invited us out with her lot. So we ended up going to an Izakaya in a massive group of gaijins. It was really cool! We got to meet some Jets, and even a guy form manchester! It was odd talking about fallowfield and 5th ave in an izakaya in Japan. But yeah! I`d better run of and finish my last bits of lesson planning!

Tanjoubi omedeto Alex-kun!!!!!!!!!!!!
