So I'm over my stomach thing that I had. I still have no idea what it was, but it lasted 3 or 4 days. I think it might have been food poisoning from this one raw oyster that I ate, but I never had any violent shitting or puking; just some general malaise. Anyway, it's over now. At school, we're into the final test period now. Ostensibly, Japanese school lasts until the end of March. But really, they take the last tests in the middle of February, and then get ready for graduation in the first week of March. So right now I am all busy with making tests and correcting tests and that kind of stuff. It's seems like it should be easier because I don't have to actually teach classes, but really I'd rather badger 44 kids into speaking English than sit around drawing Xs on paper for 6 hours a day. But once the tests are all finished, it's pretty much clear sailing until April!

By the way, I just realized that tomorrow is my birthday! It's on a Sunday this year. I never seem to remember until the last minute when my birthday is coming up. So yeah, I have no big plans. Here is my Amazon Wishlist in Japan. Those of you who are inclined to buy presents can do so here. I actually just like looking at people's lists because of the insights they give into their personalities. I'm not really sure what mine say about me other than that I want a lot of stuff though.
