Little Earthquakes

It's been a busy week or so but it's all good. Tomorrow I'm helping out with a 'trick or treating Halloween Parade' through the mall with the international pre-school and they're going to be so. cute. On the down side we were told yesterday that we needed costumes for it, which left me scouring the hyakuen store (100yen store (about 50p)) for anything that might do. I ended up with a cowboy hat, a toy gun, and a gingham handkerchief to tie around my neck as a bandanna, paired with jeans and my brown cost that will have to do as a cow-girl costume.

Cinema tonight to see PS I Love You, how is it that it's only coming out at the cinema here now? The amount of time some random things take to be released astounds me.

The exchange rate is AMAZING right now. When I came to Japan it was 250 yen to the pound, now it's 174. I just wish I had some money I could send home, I'm going to have to keep my fingers crossed that it will stay low until payday on the 21st.

My predecessor's predecessor has to come to school for a visit. It's been interesting talking to him and getting his thoughts on the job. If he ends up turning up today I think we're going for ramen at lunch. I've moved my private lesson to this week instead of next week so that he can come an see everyone, they'll be so happy to see him!
