First of all, thank you to everyone that greeted me on my birthday and sorry that I can’t reply to you all individually (I may still attempt to). You guys are all awesome and I honestly hope that you’re all doing well and staying healthy.
I’ve been pretty MIA this past year and a big reason for that is I started coaching volleyball. Extra curricular activities aren’t like the U.S. It’s a year/round thing and sometimes there’s practice on Saturdays and Sundays. Wednesday practice is from 5:20PM-7PM, so I don’t get home until 9-9:30. I volunteered to do it and I’m having fun, so it’s all good.
Something that I didn’t volunteer to do, which has been draining my energy is this year, administration placed me in my school’s kindergarten. The monsters there are super cute and really friendly, I just don’t like the whole singing and dancing s**t. 🤣 I like kids and like playing with kids, but I really don’t like teaching them…that’s why my first job in Japan only lasted 5 months.
My 47th birthday was spent at work, where I only had one 1st year junior high school class to teach…then headed to Yokohama to meet up with Peter (AKA PremierTwo), who found a really good American style pizza joint in Yokohama, where we hung out with his chat (2-3,000 viewers last night!) and played darts. He also hooked me up with a new set of balls for the pool table! 🎱 And then the night ended at our favorite craft beer spot: Antenna America. You can check out the stream at Twitch: PremierTwo
It was a great day thanks to all the love shown. I’m looking forward to see what year 47 brings me. 46 had its large share of downs and some ups (will post one of them soon).
