Bullets

I realized I haven't actually told you what's been going on in my life...so here's the bullet form update of my life in Japan:
  • I got my "new" car today! Woohoo!
  • It's harvest season, so I've gotten lots of free veggies.
  • I've now been to both churches at least once.
  • I'm running everyday. I don't even like running, but it's good to get me out of the house and I sort of have to run everyday. My boss signed me up for the long distance relay race team. I don't know how long, but it's definitely further than I can run now!
  • I got sucked into a country dance festival this weekend. Complete with "hamburgers" and "cowboy hats". Please wear "western cowboy man boots". I don't really know what I've gotten myself into.
  • I ran in a typhoon...when else was I going to get the chance to say I ran in a typhoon?
  • Milk theory has proven true...I'm cured! I've eaten ice cream every night for 5 days. I'm on my way to that extra 10lbs before the first snow fall.
But most exciting of all...*drumroll please*

I STARTED TEACHING!

It's fantastic. I absolutely love it. This week I'm at the local junior high school, which is awesome because it's between my house and the office. So I'll see the kids all the time, even when I'm not teaching at their school. I was invited by the 1st grade class to eat lunch with them the last two days, and it's by far the highlight of my day. I'm having such a good time! Woot! Praise the Lord! Friday, I'll be on a hike with 45 little four- and five-year olds. I was like "I'm an English teacher, not a forest excursion leader," but I'm excited to hangout with some cute little kids in the wilderness.

Hopefully next time, I'll post a coherent post, but I'm pooped and I still need to get some Bible time in before I hit the sack for the night.
