Just a quick update...

I got a job last week - after only one week home. I'll be working at a K-12 charter school close to downtown Houston as a middle school ESL teacher. They're sending me to D.C. for a week for a conference from July 31st - August 4th. Nice perk. And, since I got a new job, I went out yesterday and bought a new car - Toyota Corolla (that's it up top). Next on the list is an apartment. It's good to be home, even though it's strange to think I was living in Japan just two weeks ago. Japan seems really far away at the moment. Well, if you're in Japan, email me and let me know how things are going there. Also, I have to give a secret congrats to a friend back in Okazaki - you know who you are.
