Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

thoughts about school cleaning period

You know, sometimes I will have these moments at school where I just step back for a second and think, what on earth am I doing here. Today's moment came during school cleaning period. The classical music was blaring through the speakers, the kids were frantically sweeping and dusting. And I found myself kneeling in a corner with a small piece of red sandpaper. Vigorously scraping at a metal window sill, in the hopes of clearing off a bunch of graffiti I couldn't read if I tried. Well...there was some graffiti that simply said "Judy and Mary"...but seeing as that was the only think I could read, I have no idea as to what that refers to. Generally, when i find myself doing random odd jobs around school, I find myself thinking one of the following thoughts: 1) Wax on Wax off 2) I wonder what Marc Jacobs, Betsy Johnson, Michael Kors or Anna Sui would think, if they knew their clothes had become the uniform of a common janitor, 3) ONLY .... more days til I can escape this crazy country, 4) If I have to clean another ...... I think I will barf.

I guess I should be happy with the fact that I have not yet had to clean any of the bathrooms...but I fear that my days of not doing that may be numbered...YUCK!!!

Hey lady - I used to have to clean MY school, when I was in HS. It was okay, though, because we all just pitched in to help out. We were graded on it too!

Happy BIRTHDAY in two days!!!
Love,
Noe
