染み染み

used a menstrual cup for the first time! i don’t know how tmi that is but it’s so so nice to not have to worry about the financial, hygienic and environmental impact your stupid period has every month!

got over 3 hours of studying done, even though i taught 3 of 6 periods, did an extra activity and had lunch with the students!

got my groceries done, put away my laundry and vacuumed my apartment

went on my 3.8km walk for the 3rd evening in a row!

woke up and watched @studylustre‘s v short insta live and could understand what she was saying in korean! i’m proud of me 

washed up my breakfast things straight after i used them

got 5+ hours worth of studying done! i reviewed n5-n3 vocab, kanji and grammar, some korean vocab and 3 korean lessons, and some chinese lessons too

got a lovely email from one of my advisors at the board of education that observed one of the lessons i team-taught this week and i had a bit of a teary moment at my desk

listened to exo’s perfect new album and watched their comeback showcase!!

i planned and did a language quiz activity with my 7th grade glass this morning and it went well! i think both the students and the other teachers thought it was really interesting

finished making some flag decorations for this month’s english board that I have at school

assisted with three classes in a row and they all went great! some of the other teachers observed one of them because the student teacher was the main teacher, and it was nice that they all finally got to see me actually do my job!

completed and sent off my work performance self-evaluation (eep)

took some time off so i could leave early and get my groceries done while the sun was still up

revised some n2 kanji and some other japanese vocab

made myself one of my fave dinners - avocado and spring onion salad mix on toast!

did my washing up, which for me is a real task because it’s my least favourite thing to do ever

I moved to Japan!

I got accepted into the JET Programme and am currently living in Sendai working as an Assistant Language Teacher full time. I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been and I’m super proud of myself for making this giant move and settling in so well!

The downside is that I haven’t had as much time to study or read as I did when I was living in Australia. But hopefully this is changing now that I’m actively trying to make time for both. I really want to post more original content and keep you all updated on how I’m going!
