At work, I offered to be available to teach extra classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I like my job and the extra money couldn’t hurt! The only downside is I don’t know if I’m working extra until the night before, but besides that I really enjoy it! I got a few extra classes in […]

Dan and I had a great Sunday to round out our weekend! Oh yes that’s right, I ran 8 miles yesterday! The furthest I’ve run in my life without stopping! Dan did even better, almost 9 miles! I made it a goal to take it easy and just try to do it in about an […]

I suppose this entry should have come before my Big Nate entry, but oh well! I don’t teach Fridays, and Dan took the day off so we could have a fun spring Disney day. Here at Tokyo Disneyland, they celebrate Easter until June, so we wanted to see the Easter decorations before they got taken […]

I’ve received emails about my runs, so I thought I’d take a screen shot of my Nike+ program on my iPod when I go for a run, so people can see how I do! I’m making good progress at getting back to my pre-vacation distance. Before I left, I was running 7.5 miles. Today I […]

Neither Dan nor I worked today, and we had nice weather, so we decided to have some fun! First I had brunch with a good friend I met while volunteering in Ishinomaki last summer. I’m so glad I’ve been able to keep in touch with so many volunteer friends! She took me to a fun […]

I’ve been home for a little over 2 weeks now, and so much has changed! The biggest change is I finally start teaching part time at night. It’s nice to have something to do and people to talk with! I practice English with a few people at a time and get to learn about daily […]

Getting to the point where I am sitting with a student teaching has taken a very long time. I applied for my job in mid December, did supplemental paperwork and 2 interviews in January, accepted in early February, and went to a week long training in mid February. After the training I could have started […]

I posted some snippets from my trip to Kona with Dan’s family, but I thought I’d share some of the fun things we did! Celebrated Dan’s 30th bday! His mom gave him a GoPro camera! We went to a farmers market in Kona where I got a giant, delicious avocado, and Dan got me a […]

Oy! I just went for my first run back from vacation! I ran about a mile before I gave up. A mere 2 weeks ago I was running 6, 7 miles like it was no big deal! I suppose there has been about a one week break from my last run. My body wanted to […]
