The speech contest ended with only one of my students winning a roughly 3rd place prize. That's about what I expected though. One of the girls had trouble remembering her speech and barely got through it, needing help from the judges about 3 times. She made it though, and seemed relieved after it was done. Good job kids, that was likely my last speech contest.
This weekend I'm off to Tokyo to see Sumo and the Tokyo Game Convention. I've always wanted to see one of these game conventions since I was small, always hearing about E3 and such. Can't wait to see all the new games that will be coming out!
I'm getting really tired of all the girls always telling me they're too busy to hang out. It's a little regretful that I was born ugly.

New JETs, End of Summer Vacation, Speech Contest, School Starts Again
It's been a while since my last post, but I've been a bit busy lately. Full Tilt has a promotion going on so I've been putting in some volume to clear a $200 bonus. It's going to be close but I think I'll make it..
New JETs
I got a new neighbor and we got a new person to replace Stephanie who got married and moved to Osaka. Motoyoshi got Dara and we got Aaron. We'll have to see how they turn out.
End of Summer Vacation
I was a bit lazy the 2 weeks after I got back and didn't do a whole lot like I planned, but that's ok. I started playing Lol with Pierre-A and it looks like we might get into that, and other than that I've just been eating out and trying to keep cool.
Speech Contest
Yeah.... I haven't been doing that much during the break like I should have. But now I'm in full out go-mode, but Jonan is really slacking. They let Fire be in charge of the whole thing, and to date I've only seen one girl, Mako, twice, and the other girl likely doesn't have her speech memorized yet. The contest is in one week. The two Niitsuki girls are progressing well but I'm not sure I have enough time to turn them into winners. I regret not going in during the break a bit now.
School Starts Again
Jason Wray came over again like he did last year for his bike around Japan trip. Looks like we're both likely to leave August of next year. It's sad to think about it already. Been trying to get back into the swing of things but it's hard, I've been staying up late and waking up early for random reasons so that hasn't helped. This year the undoukais were again on the same day, so I decided to go to Jonan for the morning half and Niitsuki for the afternoon half. I went to Niitsuki's uchiage and went to their nijikai at Crayon afterwards. Fun times! I'd upload pictures but I'm too tired to do so now. Maybe next post!
