Arrival

I'm in Utsunomiya, Japan!

God blessed me at the airport-the flight was overbooked, so they bumped me up to business class!!! I almost shouted at the gate when the worker told me. Made for a much more comfortable flight. I'm staying in a hotel for a couple of days until the place I'll be living is ready. I went to bed and fell asleep quickly, but then woke up at 5:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep from jet lag, but I'm feeling pretty good right now.

I'm at the school right now. I just got a quick overview from the previous English teacher of where he left off in different classes and got a tentative schedule of classes. The term starts April 9th, which is a week later than I had heard previously, which will give me more time to adjust.

It was strange to walk in the door of the school; even though it's been five months since I visited, part of me felt like I had been here just yesterday. Nice that it feels comfortable already!
