No news is good news...

That's right...you don't have to live in Cali to have palm trees on your campus :-P

The Central building where I will spend most of my time...

What keeps me going: Babies holding hands in matching hats :-D




I sort of stopped posting, eh? Well, it is because I lose track of the days (I'm trying too hard to stay in step with NY time) and because nothing is happening here.

I did meet with all of the English teachers/International Relations dept/Adult Ed and ironed out what exactly I traveled across the globe for. I finally met Dan Perry (I primarily TA for his English courses), since he had been at Roberts when I arrived here. He is American, so I can be sarcastic and know I'm understood.

I will be teaching a ton of TA groups and 2 adult classes, participating in the English club, organizing off campus/out-of-class English gatherings, speaking in chapel, and sitting around in the CALC Lab (like our Learning Center) in between my other duties to aid any girls with work or to simply talk to them in English. I will also be taking a weekly Japanese class. I can't wait to get started, but I'm also a little bummed because I thought I would have more free time. Really I will be out of the apartment 9-5 everyday and also some evenings. I mean, I shouldn't complain because this is a much better job with much better benefits than some alternative in Rochester, but I guess I was under the impression that I would have a lot of spare time to be by myself (and therefore get wedding planning done and catch up with all of you).

Who knows, maybe even with the 9-5 I will have a ton of spare time. I guess I won't release an official statement until after I begin working.
