Let's be random

Hello again everyone!
Almost the end of the week, I’m still not used to Saturdays with school! I got to be an English teacher today, if you could call me that. A classmate of my host sister's came over and I helped them study English for a big exam coming up. I had the hardest time explaining why you can’t say ‘it cost we 5000 yen this ticket’. That’s what the exact translation would be from Japanese to English but it’s so difficult saying why ‘it cost us 5000 yen for this ticket’ is correct. I finally did it though. Another little struggle was telling them the difference between to and too. And how ‘too’ has two meanings. All just so cunfuzzling, but we made it in the end. That’s one of the hardest parts of being known to speak English because people expect you to explain things easilly. Most of the English language just seems natural and I don’t remember learning it. It would have been easy just to say ‘because it is’ but it’s kind of fun picking apart and questioning your native language.
I also got to, or should I say had to, watch a video in health class. I have to say that health videos in Japanese are really funny! Especially when most of what I could understand were borrowed words like Chlamydia. Oh what fun! I liked watching the menish women playing basketball movie in PE better!
Anyway, next week it’s exams all the way but we get out earlier. Mostly after three periods, woo-hoo! I say this as everyone in the states is about to go on break, wah!
