Last weekend was awesome! Elementary school sports day, watched muppets with my friends, had a picnic in the park, saw the Lion King in Japanese, and went to Disneyland.
I've also been getting to know Dan's replacement. As in he's working at Dan's school, nothing else. In fact, I think he's completely opposite from Dan, personality wise. *shrug* we'll see...

House Guests
My apartment feels empty. I think this may be the first time I've truly felt my apartment is too big since I got here.
I had someone staying in my apartment nearly every night in August. I think I scandalized my poor neighbors. Dan had to move completely out of his apartment on the 31st, but his flight home wasn't until two weeks later. As a result, I had a roommate for the first two weeks of April. Then, about halfway through the second week, I got a call from my friend Kevin... asking if he could move in with me temporarily until he got his own place. Of course I said yes. Dan and Kevin overlapped by a few days, so that was an interesting mix of sophomore year of college and my first year of JET. Both of them spent their days sitting around the apartment while I went to work, so I think/hope they got along well.
Dan left me in mid-August. It was sad. My co-workers think I'm heartbroken.
I played badminton with the center and city hall. It was fun, but my shoulder did not appreciate it. I won every game I played because I'm awesome like that.
I also taught the elemntary school teachers in my city how to teach English. By which I mean I helped them help me how to say vocabulary words.
Dylan hosted us for a vegtastic hippie dinner. I made spaghetti. I'm not sure it went well with the hummus, lentils, and other such veggie hippie dishes, but oh well. Dinner was delicious :)
Our first day of soccer practice is tomorrow. I'm really excited.
