It was such a short trip that my time never got adjusted. I was basically on Japan time the whole time I was home (which meant some sleepless nights!.

So after the first period, we were pretty tired. Then we realized we have 5 more classes to teach...it was going to be a LONG DAY! We had plenty of yeehaws and howdys for a lifetime. I can now say "heel toe step slide" and the lyrics to "I Iike it I love it" in my sleep. Although a very tiring day, it was a fun weekend because we got to experience island life (which included karaoke bars in trailor parks and the closest thing to rednecks), eat the best mikans i have ever had (those are mandarins for you non-j folk), and hang out with a bunch of people I had not seen for a while.
