すてきな!

ohayoo gozaimasu! so apparently im a tampa bay bucs fan now, sweet! i would like to take this time to wish aaron rodgers all the worst luck in the world...moving along... I have internet on my computer at school now! Yesterday we hooked my computer up to the school internet, it look a couple hours but we finally got it to work! I still have absolutely nothing to do. Yesterday i read a book at school, then looked off into nothing for multiple hours than read every article i could find online. Than after work i met up with my friend matt in nagoya for dinner. We went to a beer garden haha and had huge mugs of kirin beer and a korean bbq...which is really good meat and veggies that we cook at the table...and we had to wear aprons cuz the grease sprays everywhere. I found the nagoya museum of art and they have a huge claude monet exhibit...so i cant wait to check it out tomorrow. And i got all the way to nagoya and back on the right trains!! I didnt even get lost, im gaining skillz! And i saw this sweet sign on the train that said カーSEX in big letters! (not sure if it was an ad for car sex, but i found it highly amauzing)..remember all the strip clubs in tokyo..ah good times. This morning I had to be at work early, 8:15, because the students are here. I gave my short speech...this is it: おはようございます。はじめまして。わたしわローレンモンテインです。アメリカのウィスコンシンからきました。わたしわウィスコンシンだいがくをそつぎょうしたばかりです。びじゅつーしをせんこうしました。どぞよろしくおねがいーします。Nice. Apparently i did a good job, everyone clapped and the principal came up to thank me afterwards, so i think they like me! The students and teachers are cleaning the school right now...that is something way different than us. The students clean the inside and outside of the school, bizarre. Then they have a test and afterwards at 2 I am holding english club in the library and helping all the kids with their speeches for the competition in september. Tomorrow I am leaving early to go to the board of education in nagoya with the other alts and have a conference thing all day so ill have more to report after the weekend! A couple of my japanese TAs from madison are in town next week and there a bunch of kids from my japanese class are all meeting in nagoya to climb fuji this weekend so i will probably get to meet up with some of them...its so bizarre there are three other jets in my prefecture that graduated from madison and I know tons more from japanese class here...so there are lots of places i get to visit! Lots of love from japan! OH and i asked and I get to come to germany for christmas yea!! And i have this picture of Andy and me on my computer background and all the ladies think hes sooo handsome and think he is my boyfriend...its hilarious! He is a big hit with the japanese ladies! scratch that now i guess im a JETS fan....

My sister still thinks Brett will end up playing for Minnesota. I hope she is right and he wins one more Super Bowl. He's a great QB and even better man. Go Brett, Boo TT. It sounds like you are really in the swing of things and busy, busy, busy. As you should be, enjoy the kids and keep blogging. Love to here your doing well. Deb
