Another term, another school. The teachers here seem really nice. The school is about a 10 minute walk from the station and its in a really rural area. I will finally be able to breathe without inhaling metallic fumes (Sanno JHS).
Luckily there are only six classes, meaning only six self introductions. Defiantly much more fun when most of the time is not self intros.
Made a milk tower while waiting for lunch too!
The second year students made a play for the graduating third years. I’m not too sure what it was about, but this is the dancing portion.
Not one of the better days. Although I did enjoy the fruit (can’t remember what it was called.)
The wonderful students of ３年２組 made me some cake! Tasted good 
Only problem is, now that they are preparing for graduation – I don’t get to teach them anymore. I only had three classes with them too 
Started at Sannou JHS Tuesday last week. Still have a few self introductions to do. I really don’t have a problem introducing myself, yet doing it fifteen times over a week and a half is just a pain in the ass. Still, I am getting paid so who am I to complain right?
From my house, Sannou is probably the second furthest school I have been to, the first being Tokeminami. I take the train from Honchiba to Nishichiba (I could bike it but it’s too cold and I am lazy) then grab the bus from Nishichiba Station. It’s a 35-40 minute bus ride and then a five minute walk.
There are 16 classes with around 35 students in each class. The kids seem nice so far, with the third year students the most ‘active’ – most likely due to the fact they will be graduating soon. Luckily they have badminton, tennis and volleyball clubs, sports which I can play without looking like a complete noob.
Only six more months to go until the end of my English teaching career (probably)
The summer is finally over. The days are getting cooler. School has begun. I didn’t really get up to much over the summer holidays as my credit card bill is equal to my pay check this month. I have got to start pinching pennies and save for the wedding.
School started yesterday. Looks like I have another great school. There are around 550 students, which works out to around 15 classes. The school won the Chiba prefecture kendo competition, and won bronze for the Kanto region. They are also very good at track and field, and there is also one girl that won something for surfing. Unfortunately for me they don’t have a badminton or tennis club, so I will have to make do with soccer and volleyball.
The teachers all seem nice (So far) and there are a few around my age (or they just look young) – so hopefully we will have a few things in common.
Self Introductions start today. Luckily I have a double stay so I don’t mind too much. I made sure to commandeer the computer room because it’s much easier to present in, and it has air conditioning
