typhoon fitow!

so i just finished teaching 4 classes in a row and lunch with the kids! classes went well, so far i think that the 2nd years are the most fun. maybe not the best english skills but very genki (enthusiastic) about everything.

but anyway got back to the teachers room after lunch for a meeting, and evidently students are being sent home because of the typhoon that is supposed to hit us this evening/night. and i believe that there is no school tomorrow. but i need to get this confirmed, my japanese may be failing me. all the teachers rushed out to get the students sent home.

evidently they are expecting a bad typhoon season, and this is the first of many that we are supposed to get this season! yay! but from talking to others i dont think that the conditions here are as bad is in guam. the power and such don't go out very often.

anyway i'm off to help prep the school for the typhoon. more details to come after the storm...

Uh oh Lauren... you used "evidently" twice in that post ;) You had been doing so well.

I'm getting a little blog crazed, this stuff is addictive.

This is great to see what you are doing and how things are going. Glad to hear typhoon was a small one. Sure is interesting to see the work ethic of the Japanese...Typhoon no problem come to work.
