it is sunday morning and i am currently sitting in school, yay! it is boat day, which means that soon we will be shuffled down to the river to partake in some rowing acivities, i believe. i'm not exactly sure what this day will consist of.
so typhoon fitow has come and gone. really pretty uneventful. thursday night it was really windy and rainy, but nothing compared to most of the storms that i have seen in guam. the worst part was not being able to sleep because the typhoon shutters were slamming into the window by my bed all night. friday all of the teachers were at school, no students. it was still pretty rainy out. the day was pretty boring, i did a little lesson planning and there were some teachers meetings. while i can't understand much of those meetings as they speak much too fast, i did understand that one of them was about social conduct of teachers outside of school. they were talking about things not to do at parties, ie. don't drink and drive, male teachers should not touch female teachers... the funny part of this was that they split all of the teachers into groups and then they had to list different things out and read them in front of everyone. it was like they were the students in a classroom, and some of the male teachers (esp. the 2nd yr math teacher, who is also a firefighter, that sits across from me) came up with some pretty amuzing responses as you can imagine.
friday night i met up with tamae, another jet that lives about 15 minutes from me. the more that i talk to her the more i find out i have in common with her, very strange. she is from kentucky about 15 minutes away from the small town where my grandparents lived. went to school at washU in st.louis, planning to go to law school, graduated from a high school with 25 people! anyway, she took me to an indian restaraunt nearby! it was pretty good too. yay!
saturday was a friends birthday, so we had plans to meet in mito with some other friends for starbucks, a museum, and a play. the museum had an amazing modern textiles display on. it was very interesting, and very high fashion with an interesting japanese influence.
i knew that the play was romeo and juliet at the art museum, but that was it. it turned out that it was a high school musical performance of romeo and juliet, adapted to modern times. it took place in a japanese highschool and there were crazy things that happened. including:romeo kiling everyone with a machine gun, a random colonol sanders dancing among the high school students, romeo and juliet consumating thier love with a very dramatic ear piercing/tatooing scene. it was really quite amazing.
time to get ready for boating...

I like the sushi clock, where did you get that idea from? ;) That's really weird about your teacher meetings, I don't think you would really have to worry about the male teachers touching you, they are probably too scared because you are taller and could beat them up!
