Sorry for the lack of photo updates.
I think I mentioned earlier that my camera broke at the end of orientation. I dropped it a grand total of a foot and that was all she wrote. In fact, and don't ask me how, ten minutes after that I managed to spill mustard on all sides (front, side and with the aid of my elbow I even got my back) of my favorite white polo - my 4th grade habits are coming back to haunt me I suppose. It's a small part of my life I wish I could take back.
Anyway, I took my camera into a Canon shop - and actually got it set up to be fixed by only knowing how to say "Dowa juseyo?" (can you help me?), "yes," and some serious acting skills where I mimed dropping my camera and it exploding. It should take about a week or so from this past Friday, and I will be uploading an album of photos I downloaded from my friends, but some originals are on the way as soon as I get my camera back, I can't wait!!
Back at school again today, which feels great, because on Thursday and Friday I actually spent the day doing voice recordings in a pretty expensive sound studio. I had official leave from school, so I got to spend those two days saying things like "Is this your cap?," "No, my cap is red," and "How many pigs do you have?" I actually broke out laughing twice, so in two days of repeating some pretty ridiculous stuff, I think I did a good job. Either this semester or next, when the students take the official English tests, they will be hearing my voice from grades 3-6. It was quite the experience!!
