First FULL week of work. Since I started teaching, it's been various national holidays and free days in the work week. It's gonna be full weeks until summer vacation, better get used to it.
This week's also what I called Tour de 小学校 (elementary school) week. I got 8 different schools, just one or two classes per school, all half days, and mostly just playtime. By the end of this week, I would've finally taught at all my schools at least once. Finally get to close out my intel reports.
It's been a while since I cut my hair, and I look like a hippie. In Japan, when I ask people to guess my age, everyone so far had started at 24 or mid-20s. Today, at my morning school, the initial guesses were in the 30s. Whenever I let my hair grow out, it shows some semblance of a receding hairline, making me look old. While I wasn't offended (because I'm old), it ruined the shock factor of looking young but not actually so.
I shaved my head as soon as I got home. The age guesses were "back to normal" the next day.
