Oct. 4 (Mon.)

I worried myself that I was tired, had a slight headache, couldn't concentrate on, and didn't study much the latter half of last week. But today I started study again! Or should I say, I had to study...
I like to study in a library because it's quiet and nothing bothers me. But the bad thing is it's too cold. I even caught a cold because of air-con. Today I found a better place, not cold floor. I sat in a sofa and read for a few hours. It was comfortable.

Today I went to "King of Prussia", the biggest shopping mall in the east coast. It was huuuuge. It has many department stores and shops. I almost got lost although I had a map.
I bought a bag and shoes. I really had a good time.

For a course requirement of school I will start working as a volunteer teaching assistant at a English language school. The school is a non-profit organization and most students are immigrants from Liberia. Before starting we have to take part in two workshops and today I had one of them. In Japan I didn't have a chance to communicate with immigrants, so I'm looking forward to interacting with students.

It's been a month since I moved here. I have never left Japan more than a month. So I had a peak of my fatigue this week...
Today I observed a Japanese class at a community college in Philly. I was surprised to find that students's attitudes were good. I want to teach Japanese, too!
