yesterday, was the official Ibaraki orientation up in the capital, Mito. Pretty general information was covered, but useful. I think more exciting was getting to see everyone again from orientation, and hearing about how everyone is settling in. sounds like i have a pretty good situation! as most people are having to go into the Board of Education (BoE) offices everyday, with nothing really to do, because school is still on summer break. my supervisor said that there is no reason for us (me and John) to come in, free vacation time!
after the orientation we had some time to walk around and explore mito a bit, was a nice change from the country side of Itako. then there was a welcome dinner party, where we got to meet most of the Ibaraki JETs. Most of them seem like they are pretty cool people, and they seem to have a close community, which will be nice for us newbies. i look forward to getting to know them more!
on the schedule for this weekend...clean this apartment out, and determine where this strange smell is coming from...eww, the heat does not help this situation!
