September 1st

Well I am back at it starting from today. After a months holiday my school will re-open, and I decided that I will also try to write on this blog from today. Not much to report other than we have had without a doubt the shittiest weather on record since my coming to Japan. For the past two weeks it has been nothing but rain and cool temperatures. I don't care so much about the temperature, but man I am sick of the rain. I can't go biking or jogging, or even walking for that matter. Well, I can but I hate getting rained on. And I'm not talking about little showers either but torrential type rain.
I had my first class with the high school students, and that was as exciting as watching paint dry. I try to be enthusiastic and interesting but these girls, either are so stupid or ditsy, I'm not sure which. I tried to connect with them today by talking about 24 hour television that was just on over the weekend. I asked them about the lead singer of the group Arashi, and do you think one of them would help me out trying to remember his name. Thankfully my writing class went much better, but then again they are of a higher level, so these kids are going places.
Anyway that's it for the first blog. I hope there will be more to come, and I will do my best to keep writing each day. I'm not sure what direction this will take, or what kind of information I will add, but we'll have to see.
