And just when you think world cuteness has peaked, you come back from a three-day teaching trip and open your inbox to this:
Hello!
I'm ---
Do you remember me?
We rehearsed a play
"Snow White" in
Summer Camp.
I played the part of
a dwarf.
Thank you for all of
your kindness.
Man, the kids the kids the kids. They bring the good time happy fun.

META-SIDENOTE: Got a couple mails asking if I was leaving my job in Japan yet.
Nope, just changed positions, still within the JET Programme. Now I'm working as a "Prefectural Advisor", mainly in the Prefecture's Board of Education office, with school visits and bits of teaching here and there.

I think that “prefecture” is one of my favorite words. Thanks for using it more than once in the same post.
