Sorry I haven't updated lately but 2-months-in-advance departure preparations have made life hectic. I've been busy mailing boxes home, requesting return dates from the board of education, worrying about pension returns, compiling helpful information for my successor, etc. Nothing too exciting as of late.
However, it looks like somebody threw a party in my calendar -- almost every weekend is booked until my return to America: firefly festival with Mayumi, movie weekend with Meegan, dance performance with a teacher in Kyoto, perfume museum visit with me myself and I, a couple going-away parties, and the fastest-approaching: the 3-day school festival. It begins on Saturday and lasts until Monday, so I will be working through the weekend with regular work hours. (Luckily, pending rain changes, I will have Tuesday and Wednesday off). I'm really looking forward to the festival because the students have been preparing for MONTHS, and I'm excited about spending time with them outside the classroom. I should be tired but happy when that is all over, and hopefully students will feel the same.

Hey Lauren, know how you feel about the school festival coming up. Mine is this weekend and I'm in at least 5 different music acts and also playing a small part in "Macbeth". I'm looking forward to the festival though my brain is getting crammed with lyrics to a bunch of different songs. Everything from Green Day to a Hawaiian song my girls from English club are dancing a hula to. Should be fun! Well, take care. Hope everything goes well sending stuff home and what not. Take care.
Brian
