My first entry to my blog that I was supposed to start a year and a month ago.
No, really.
I made this layout in December of 2008.
Since then, a lot has happened. Well, it has been a whole 365.242199 days (wow, Google). The main adjustment being that I've moved to from my home in England to a different country and have started working in the big, wide, world. Dun, dun, duuuun!!
Although, I feel like I'm cheating... 'cause I'm working in Japan as an A.L.T. through JET.
Now, to many, this is a big step and a big challenge. But me, being half Japanese and brought up with half of the culture plus the language; Japan as a country isn't exactly unfamiliar. I've also been lucky enough to visit Japan a good number of times. Of course, I've never lived and worked in Japan before, so I've learnt a lot (especially to do with bills), but as this job is - how should I put it - aimed at the "lost foreigner" who is plunged into a bizarre and new enviroment, the work is ahem, not too "tough".
It's not that I don't do anything! Though that is the slight downfall that comes with this job. As I'm paid monthly (a very pleasing amount I must add) I have to be at the Board of Education office, even if the schools are closed and I have no classes to teach....and I have nought to do. It drives me a little crazy. But it means I now have the time to do something a little creative like, let's see, this blog.
I'm at the office now, waiting for my 4:30pm depature (which is an amazing time to finish compared to the hardcore Japanese workers who are still staring at their computer screens until the late hours of the night!)
This'll do for my first entry, mostly because I'm not in a big mood to type anymore, as just fiddling with all the coding for this blog has tired me out! Fingers crossed I'll keep this going...
