All The Small Things

Today was a really fun day! I did my self introduction classes to the grade 9 students at Higashi Junior High. They were so much fun! The grade 9 students are quite rowdy, and sometimes difficult to control, but it made for very interesting classes. During the question period, they don't really hold back at all. One question I didn't understand, and the teacher wouldn't even translate it for me because it was too rude... I'm still dying to know what he said, although it's probably better that I don't. I was asked how much I weigh, how tall I am, if I would be their boyfriend... One boy felt the need to tell me that I looked better with my hair down, and not in a headband like how I was wearing it. Thanks? And one girl even said she wanted to marry my dad...

The best part of my day today, was when a grade 9 boy asked me to have lunch with him. He found out I like Blink 182 and he wanted to talk about music. So I sat at a desk by him and his friends, and I talked to them about what bands they liked, what bands I like, and things like that. Him and his friends are actually in a band, I really want to hear them now! Maybe someday... It was nice to have so many students who were willing to try and speak in English, and listen to my awful Japanese.
