The second semester is just starting up here in Japan.  The kids have been out of class since the end of July -that doesn't mean they haven't come to school, it just means there have been no classes.  They come to school to use the pool and the baseball/soccer fields.  They have been preparing for sports day which will be coming up on the 15th.  And they have been cleaning the schools in preparation for the new semester.
I will be starting this semester at two new schools.  Both are near my new apartment.  The elementary school is a 3min walk from door to door.  It's brand new with an open school concept - a very beautiful building.  Unfortunately I only go there once a week.  The junior high school is a 30 min walk (or 10 on my bike) and I'll be there one and a half days a week.
I have one other elementary school that I will continue teaching at -Taie.  It's a tiny school, but is the 'model' school for the new English program the city has created.
Lessons start tomorrow.  I thought I'd be more excited, but my summer just seemed to be picking up!  Oh well.  I'm giving myself a holiday starting on the 15th.  Can't wait!
