HERE!!!

So im finally here. Its really a surreal experience, i dont quite believe its real. I guess i should start at the beginning of the last two days. First, the flight was realllllly long. the only real positive thing about it was that the people from my training group were able to sit together. When i got here the person was there waiting for me to pick me up. I was worried that maybe they wouldnt be there, but they found me right away and helped me do all the things i needed to do. Those would have been way too hard for me, seeing how i dont speak Japanese yet.

After i got here some of my coworkers took me out for sashmi. Its the first time i have eaten fish in a really long time and it was raw...im kind of proud of myself. Yesterday morning i was able to move into my apt. its a lot bigger than i thought, ill have to post pictures of it. I didnt get to see that much of the city yet. Mostly ive just seen from my apt to the school. once i become more comfortable with work, then i will venture out and see more. I have met a lot of my students and everyone seems so nice. It helps calm my nerves, but only a little. I have a feeling that its going to be over a month before i am completely comfortable with the job. Today i go into the school and observe a few lessons. This is the first time that i will be seeing an actual class. after today and tomorrow, hopefully i will know a little more about how to run the class. Thats all for now, jet lag is killer.
