Today I did my self introduction for the 3 different grade 8 classes at Higashi Junior High in Nayoro. It was a blast!! The classes each had about 27 kids in it, so it was VERY different from Chiebun! They were all excited to see me, and love to say hello, and good morning, and other random stuff in the hallways. One guy even said, "yo," which I was quite impressed with! Many, many students commented on how large my nose is, which I am used to now, but the first time someone told me I had a large nose I was a little offended... I don't really like how large my nose is, and it's so odd hearing a bunch of people comment on how large it is. It's also weird to know that they mean it as a compliment, not as an insult...
In my first class today, I got asked the inevitable question, "Do you have a boyfriend?" I decided to have some fun, and told them that I was dating the members of Rip Slyme, my favorite Japanese band. The funny thing is that one of the boys could not let it go, it seemed like he actually believed me... He asked me for their autographs, but I said that Rip Slyme is just too busy to give out autographs. Then he told his friends outside of the class, so everyone in the hall started asking me about Rip Slyme. It was really funny, but I don't know if I will give that answer again, it caused too much craziness!
The aspect of my life the students are most surprised about is the fact that I own a donkey. Some of them don't even know what a donkey is!
Tomorrow I have classes with all of the grade 9 students... I'm sure I will have something to say about that tomorrow!
