旅行计划

I'm temporarily fleeing the country to regain my sanity. Not sure if China's the best place to do that, but it'll definitely be a welcome change.

My nenkyuu's all hanko-ed, visa's approved, tickets in hand, hostels booked, now all alls left to do is get on the plane.
Itinerary:
3/25 arrive Shanghai
somewhere in between->Beijing->Nanjing->back to Shanghai
4/1 return to Toyama

Finally gunna put some use to that Chinese minor of mine...

An Update

what? yes, an update. It's my first day as the new assistant for the Animation department at my school ;) As you can see, I am hard at work. I haven't been in much of a mood to update lately, as you may have noticed. I figured I at least owed it to those few who still bother to check up now and then to know what country I'm in and such other developments of consequence (check my flickr for more frequent life updates). First of all, I left Japan. After much research and deliberation I finally decided to bite the bullet and go back to school. This decision in itself took about a month. The winner: Academy of Arts University in San Francisco. The program: Master of Fine Arts in Animation and Visual Effects, with an intended focus in storyboarding. Some other options I was considering: * Hospitality Internships in Barcelona, Rome, London and Chile * Working Front of House for Cirque du Soleil * Cinematography Apprenticeship in LA * Going back to Catering *

Down on the 4th

...and how's the weather everyone? It's rainy! I'm starting to forget what the sun looks like. Maybe that's what's getting me down, or maybe it's the other way around. Not that this is any different from what I endured for 4 years attending school in the northwest, but I had a lot more to occupy my time and mind then. The only plus side of Monsoon season is it keeps the temperature at a tolerable level. I was reminded the other day that today is Independence Day. But then that just made me think of the accident I got into last 4th of July. What an awful day. The year before that I spent the 4th on a beach in Japan, blowing up fireworks over the water and eating BBQ with the other students. It was raining that day too, but it didn't keep us from enjoying the party. Fun day. No plans this year seeing as any sound louder than a whistle will set the neighborhood mob after us. My students are busy taking their final exams at present which is why I'm here upda

Winter Break Itinerary

Dec 24th-Dec 26th: KOBE (visiting yuki for xmas) Dec 27th-Dec 29th: Return to Toyama for work :\ Dec 30th-Jan 2nd: TOKYO/CHIBA (visiting host family for New Years) Jan 3rd-Jan 7th: HONG KONG (visiting Kim) Jan 7th: putz around tokyo for 9 hrs before my bus leaves for Toyama Jan 8th: back I've never been more in need of a vacation. Seems like every time there's a big American holiday my workload triples. On average I teach 24 classes a week- but normally I only have to plan lessons for the 8 elementary classes on Tues and Weds. This month my JTEs asked if I could plan all the lessons for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years at the junior high too. The lesson planning itself isn't that bad, but the actual teaching all day without any breaks is really draining (especially at the elementary schools. There's just not enough 'genki' in me to keep up with 5 classes of 40 kids a day). I was also asked to host a few Xmas parties- one for all the students of a local tutor and
