First big news is that I got the job! Well.. Actually I got 4 jobs. Despite my lack of experience in Teaching or experience in English for that matter, I have been getting offer after offer.
I have one offer from an Elementary school, two from two Middle schools and one from a High school.
Decisions Decisions! I am currently leaning towards a Middle school with in Chiba Prefecture but a little out of the city.. about 1 hour away from Chiba and 1 hour away from the Tokyo area...
On that note, have already started to find a new place to live... Although I have next to zero cash and I am still waiting for some very over due funds from Student Loans, I should be able to complete the move.... Some how...
I have a feeling that it is going to be much like the last move. Dollar store everything.
I have moved apartments in Japan a few times now and I've gotten use to the pattern but I though I would try something a little different this time... Just out of curiosity I called up an apartment service specializing in serving foreigners. I called them up and a nice Japan man answered the phone in English. I gave him my contact information, where I was planning to move and my price range. Then 30 min later I got a call back from a English speaking Korean man. ( Mr.Kim )
I met Mr.Kim at the station and he toured me around to a number of nice places.... Most of them a little pricy but he did show me one that only cost ¥26,000 per month! (About $315CDN) !! Although it was a little out of the way and would take me a considerable amount of time to get to work.

| Looking at Apartments Now that most of my job hunting has come to an end and school is basically done (Besides a volunteer project ), Life has slow down to a craw... And I have taken a few good walks around the city... I have live in Chiba for almost a year but I really haven't tour around.... I'm going to miss living here.... |

| Today is sunny! |
Currently sitting in the coffee shop where I competed most of my thesis, I know most of the workers here and they know me.... Besides I just order a coffee or two and sit for hours with my computer open.... And because I have really hairy arms..

| I actually have free time to write my blog!!! |
Anyways ... My stress level has dropped to almost zero and I'm trying to eat healthier now that I have the time to actually make a salad.
