Settling down in Japan

Hello peops!


We are at the end of the first quarter of school now! Next week is our last week of school before break and I'm pumped! Mito-shi, the city I live in, has a huge summer festival on the first full weekend of August. That means the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of August is festival time. It's apparently really big! The schools around Mito have these square-ish flags that are roughly 14"x 14" that the staff and students each design to be displayed around town during August. I was asked by one of my schools to design their main school flag, so it has been design and is in process of being colored and painted, because, ya know, artist has to make it the best she can. 

During my break, I will have training days for my schools and my employers, some of which include field trips and painting school yard equipment. So, it's not like I have the summer off, but I do have 6 special summer vacation days that I am allowed to take off. These days are for us to use at our discretion. I just don't have 6 consecutive days off, so I haven't decided on how to use them, yet.

As I am living here, I am remembering some of the posts I wrote as a study abroad student, such as the trash post. Welp, guess what, I will be revisiting some of those topics later on.

Here are some of the topics I will be writing about in the coming weeks and months:

Japanese school schedules
Lunchtime at school
Trash-again
Different types of 'Rest Days' from work
Mito-shi
Seasons
Japanese Holidays

If there is a topic you're dying to learn about, just leave it in the comments below.

Until then, later peops!
