I teach japanese and foreign art at a local high school. I moved here over ten years ago. I have a Lab.
I attend college. I have a sister in law from Japan. I like the beach. I like dogs.
How did your exam end up going? It went well I passed with an 85.  Is that better than your last one? I hope practicing Japanese with your sister-in-law helped you feel more prepared. Yes much better. Maybe next time you and I can get together and you could teach me a little more about the Japanese culture. What kind of lab do you have? I would love that! Teaching the language can be exhausting, but I never get tired of talking about their culture and art... and I never get tired of talking about my dog! She's a yellow lab named Rosie and I've had her for almost ten years. Can you have a dog on campus?  I would love to meet Rosie. 10 years is how old in dog years? Yes we can have dogs here with us. Just as long as they're not destructive.  10 would be about 60 in dog years, but she was already about a year old when I got her, so she's probably closer to 65. Have you thought about getting a dog of your own? I've thought about  getting a dog, but that would be too much responsibility. My classes takes of much of my time now days. Maybe when finish up college , I'll get a dog and go  visit Japan. I heard they have really good food. That makes sense! Maybe visiting with Rosie will help you get your dog fix for now. And you're definitely right about the food, but I'm not sure I would recommend having a dog in Japan either. If you're living somewhere urban, most of the affordable apartments are pretty cramped.  Yes it sure would. Since you been here have you found any new friends? I know it can be hard getting used to a new place. I've actually been in town for a while now, but it was hard making friends when I first got here. I was just out of school and I feel like that's a tough time. Do you think you will live near your college friends after school? I'm glad you made some friends. Yes my college friends and I are pretty close. We do a lot together outside of school. I hope to live near them after school. I feel like they're family now. Speaking of family, how often do you visit home?
