It's Coming-of-Age Day today in Japan. So, there held ceremonies around the nation at each autonomous body to celebrate youths' having grown to manhood. Young people, who are going to be adults according to the law in general, dressed up themselves as they liked and shared their joy with others. In the meantime, some troublemakers among them raised a fuss over nothing and ruined the pleasant moment. It's pity that this kind of incidents are continuously reported every year...

I was appointed to teach at Naha Senior High School as a substite teacher last Friday. I went to the high school then to introduce myself to other teachers as well as to students I was gonna take charge of. Also, I talked to the teacher whom I was gonna substitue for about jobs and duties that I was supposed to take over. There was nothing particular to do but talkig to the teacher to make sure the details of what I would take over from her, so I went home early in the afternoon then. So, precisely speaking, tomorrow is gonna be the first day when I start to teach at Naha Senior High School! It was about two months ago when I last taught in high school as a substitute teacher, so I'm kind of excited, but at the same time a little tensed up. I'll do my best ever with love in my heart!
