Hard to believe, but I have already been in Japan for over a month. I have been having a great time and have been working hard. I am teaching English at a private school that has about 5oo students. Each class is 50 minutes and there are somewhere between 1 and 8 people in each class. I am having fun but I continue to struggle trying to remember everyone's name. The people I work with are all really nice. I work with two other foreigners, thank God they speak Japanese, because I am well below beginner level and am using my common sense to get me through most conversations I have with locals. For the most part everything so far has been smooth sailing, I am still waiting on my alien registration card but after I get that I will be able to get a cellphone and be able to talk to all of friends that I made in training.

Has it really been a month?
