Still alive...

Rest assured, good readers... I am still here... just that a lot has happened since I last made a decent post, and the task of sorting through the interesting bits and jotting it down seems to be a daunting one. I suppose when I have a sufficient amount of time, I'll camp out in front of the ol' laptop and smash it all out, but until then, just take a minor update and be grateful! ("Mooooore???")

For the moment, I can tell you that things are going splendidly! I was recently spurred to do a little more for that whole pesky "Exchange" part of my job, but really the spurring was what I needed to finally kick into gear ideas that have been floating around for the almost 6 months I've been here. Anyway, since I'm surviving the winter with no trouble, I'm feeling more able to shake off the frost and get it in gear. As a fellow ALT told me (as he was told by another fellow ALT), it takes about 6 months to get used to being in Japan. I think I'm there, so I'm looking at everything with an, "Okay, now that that's over, what can I do now?"

Things have returned to "normal" now that Anna's gone home (*tear*), soooo that means I get to look forward to more observation classes, special ALT meetings, and Gun activities. But that also means I get to look forward to mundane teacher's meetings I don't understand, students that drive me crazy, and classes that could go better (Though today... I made my sannensei into tanks... mwahahaha... good lesson). It might balance out, so whatev. :D

Anyway, I must be off. Soon, I'll get some substance in here!! And I've got some videos on the back burner... and a few more pictures.. A SMORGASBORD OF GOODIES!!!! :D
