Nothing doing at school this week! The second years left on their skiing trip this morning. So starting a blog seems in order... So strange, like writing in a diary that everyone can see. Well here goes nuthin. Oh yeah, happy Valentine's Day! I got a cupcake from a student... shoot, if only the others had left a day later. It is the tradition here for girls to make tiny cupcakes for their friends. Ah, and I failed level 2 of the Japanese proficiency test for the second time--yeah! Signing off until boredom strikes again...
