I pulled in today at my normal time, but there were only a few people at work. I used the time to go up to my classroom and hang up some more pictures – photos from Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo. <\/p>\n

I talked for the first time with one of the English teachers that has been avoiding me since I arrived at the school. This term there is no avoiding it – he’s going to have to teach classes with me. Mr. Hayashi told me that he’s been studying English very hard in preparation, and today he got to use a little bit with me. We had a nice conversation about his weekend, and he did a great job. He’s got nothing to be afraid of.<\/p>\n

Mr. Hayashi came in at about nine o’clock, and didn’t even go to his new desk. He sat in his old chair next to me and we shot the breeze for a while. He apologized for me staying where I was. Apparently the last two ALTs spoke almost no Japanese, so they moved them along with Mr. Hayashi. He said that they think my Japanese is good enough that I don’t have to be held by the hand all day. I’d tend to disagree, but it was a nice compliment. <\/p>\n

More from Mr. Hayashi: I should be fine to take two weeks in July to go home to California, I can leave early on the 15th of this month to go see Radiohead, and there is a new part time teacher that is, as Mr. Hayashi describes her, “very charming”. The history teacher almost fell out of his chair trying to get details, so I already feel bad for this poor lady. <\/p>\n

I packed up my gear and left around 11:30 and did some shopping on the way home. I also stopped in at the Miyakura shrine to take some pictures of the cherry blossoms there.<\/p>\n
