Thoughts at School

-My 5th period class was cut so that the 3nensei could learn “about man and woman” (my JTE’s way of describing sex ed). I was bored at my desk, so I decided to check out Japanese sex ed and it was SO BORING! How can sex be so boring? They were also all about the Chlamydia for some reason. Hmm. I was hoping for a thrilling and humorous blog post out of that experience, but it was so uneventful that I really have nothing to say about it. Sad day.

-I think it is proof that I have adjusted to this job when I see the word “terchy” and know that it’s supposed to be “teacher” without a second thought. Hmm.

-Only in Japan can an 1nensei boy think he’s a bad-ass troublemakin’ rebel while proudly displaying his Stitch pencil case with keychains of Elmo, Hello Kitty and jewels on top of his desk.

-I laughed out loud when I walked into my 1nensei class today. They had just had art class and there was a video on the teacher’s desk of the hippie artist dude that is always on PBS! The one with all of the hair that paints “happy little trees.” Do you think they translate it as “ureshikute chiisai na ki?” Hmm, perhaps I should investigate this pressing matter.
