No, no, no...I'm not getting married! Not even close (>_<)
The YES is for next year. Yep, if you haven't received an email by now or heard through someone...I am staying for another year (and so is Mark)
Very excited, I signed the papers yesterday. Feel very relieved to be able to get it out of the way. My supervisor was very happy to hear that I was staying. It feels surreal because I spent weeks pondering over it when I knew in my heart that I wanted to stay.
My 8th graders went to Tokyo for a school trip, and some of the girls brought back presents for me. So nice of them, feel loved by these kid :) Another year with them...think I can build on the relationship (fingers crossed)
Something that might be of interest for the teachers back home...I've finally realised that they don't have ANY substitute teachers at their schools.
If a teacher is absent, which is RARELY the case - unless they've been struck down with a deadly virus or something, then they will be absent from school. When that happens the students will just work on their own work, at their own pace. The students are so quiet, independent and diligent that the other teachers will just have to pop their head into the class once in a while to check on them and all is fine. There is a year 5 teacher that will be absent for 3 weeks, and no casual teacher! Amazing...
Wow, another year in Japan!!! How about that?!
