Well I knew mom would have to leave and that I would have to head back to work, but I didn't particularly want either one to happen.
mom and I had sooo much fun, we walked until our feet felt like falling off, we ate some really interesting foods, and I found a food even mom won't try. And we saw some awesome sights. Mom took way more photos than I so hopefully she will post them on her flickr soon, I will get mine up sometime this week when i figure out stuff at work.
Mums home safe and sound, a long flight; but she was lucky to make it out of Chicago with the weather so its good.
now I'm feeling blah.. it doesn't help to come back to school and have all these beginning of the new school year changes. I hate change. Anyway in Japan you are hired to teach by the board of ed. which oversees all the high schools in the prefecture. So they can reassign your school, so in April the teachers find out that they are changing schools and have basically one day to move. So I came back from vacation to find many teachers gone! one of my english teachers, my vice principal, and principal (among others) this means new teachers.. which is actually fine.
What I have a problem with it that all the teachers at the school switch levels, so if previously you taught 3rd years (seniors) you now could teach first or second years. So I have a whole new set of teachers to get used to, and they changed who my supervisor is. I really don't like that a) because I don't like change, b) cause it happens without anyone actually telling me that it is c) it took me this long to get used to the supervisor i did have and d) i don't like the person who is my supervisor.. grumble grumble grumble..
also I am so not looking forward to the classes I have to teach, or mainly the teachers i have to teach with..
blech,.. maybe once the school year starts it will be fine, but I really have the feeling that this is going to be a long year.
Anyway off to look at the new text books, which i can only hope are better than the old ones.
miss everyone! I'll post photos soon

bleh back at you. I am sorry that school is switching things up so much, I don't think I would like so many new things all at once either. I had such a great time with you, looking at the pictures makes it better but not altogether the same thing. Anyway, hang in there, only 5 more months till you come visit.
