So the other day my students were getting their mid-term exams back. Before the students got them, the teacher mentioned the class average. Upon hearing it, all the students laughed. Well apparently I’m not Japanese enough to get the joke.

I’m finally back in action! Happy New Year everyone!
Around this time of year, everyone seems to be out making new year’s resolutions and such: “I won’t drink for a month, I promise to lose weight, I won’t eat ramen everyday this week,….” I personally don’t really understand new year’s resolutions. Sure, the new year brings [...]

It’s been a while since I wrote here. Mostly because end of term is coming in Japan. These past couple of days it’s snowed. Today, it snowed. Tomorrow more snow. In fact, the next 3 days are supposed to snow. Sounds like a lot right? I wish. This is the first time I’ve ever seen [...]
