Normally I would never say "I moved house." Is that even normal? But according to our textbooks it's OK and I now teach Japanese people to say this. When they ask me about the grammar I just say its Aussie English. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Either way, I now live in a different apartment. I got wireless internet today and it works - and mike - I didn't even have to restart my computer. HAHA. It's too late for me to think now. I will give you the mark update later.

This blog used to be about my life in Japan. Then for years it served no purpose. Now it is about my life in Limpopo, South Africa.

In other news, I left my suitcase on the train today. haha
Sometimes one small thing can put everything in perspective. So today at work I thought of the coolest joke. It goes something like this: what are the 21st and 18th letters of the alphabet? Answer: You Are! ahahhahaha. At the time it seemed really funny. Sometimes when really boring people tell you about their really boring job (like I a doing now) while using a really monotonous voice, things like my joke can seem really funny. Either that or I have the lamest sense of humor in the world. Either way, that's the kind of stuff I think of while I work.
In other news, Kate, those postcards were pretty good. http://postsecret.blogspot.com The sad thing is that they remind me of my life. Since I read them 24 hours ago I have had two different encounters that just made me want to write up a special postcard! The first one would say something like this:
Today I saw a crazy homeless man feeding the birds. He was having so much fun. I couldn't help but think how sad it was that this is probably the most fun he has had in weeks. It was the coolest thing I saw all day.
and
This one girl I teach will cry if I call on her. Now I just wait until I see her eyes tearing up and then I call on someone else. As soon as her eyes dry up, I call on her again. I do this the entire lesson - it makes me feel good about myself.
