It's A Happy Day!!

Today is the first day of school. We've had the "meet the new teachers" assembly and the "pep talk from kocho and homeroom teacher announcement" assembly. Now the class groups are meeting together...

I was afraid that things would be really bad today. That the kids would not be as cool or chilled-out as my kids that just graduated... SILLY ME!!!

During cleaning time this morning I talked with loads of my kids just chatting... it's amazing what moving up a year will do for 3nensei kids. They're so nice now!?! (A lot of them were little shits last year!) YAY!!! Big relief... though, I'm afraid that leaving in a few months will only be made that much more difficult. Oh, well... I'll cross that bridge later.
