Do you have many boy friend?

So today was the start of classes at my base high school. The school I just made a speech to in Japanese. Only one class today but it was a good class. The students, while shy, do speak better English than at my second high school.

AND I only recieved one boyfriend question. "Do you have many boy friends?"
And my response was "Yea, I have many boy friends."

Yup.. I am embracing the foreign goddess mentality. Yup I have many boyfriends. Yup, I am a berri beautiful.  Yup. Yup... I wish sarcasm was as easy to get across in Japanese as it is in English. Amerika no joudan desu! (American joke!)

Anyway, I have a lot to be grateful about having this school as my base school. My predessesor  left me notes for everything I would need to do/learn/get used too. She was great and left comfortable shoes to fill. My supervisors are helpful and fun, they speak English well, understand my slightly dry humor and assist me in my Japanese study. Of course there is gossip in the staff room and those moments that, because I spoke in relatively good Japanese at opening ceremony, some teachers approach me speaking entirely in Japanese and I have to sit there and try to understand whats going on. Its pretty nice here. I wish there was a bit more work for me to do but I suppose that is when I can study Japanese.

The other school, with the predecessor who left me homework to grade and a fish tank full of fish to deal with, is a good school too. I have been welcomed and assisted through many things. At times I feel quite content with the way things have worked out this far....

I hope that last phrase doesn't bite me in the a$$ later.
