the humidity is going away!

praise the lord.. there have actually been some cool days and nights.. VERY refreshing :) this week went by fast.. probably because there wasn't school on tuesday. the girls and i went to get our re-entry stamps on our day off so now we can officially leave the country AND come back. that was also the day it POURED allll day. it was nice to watch a movie and drink hot tea :) my kiddies were well behaved this week. they are going through a phase where they LOVE it when i eat lunch with them at their table.. all the girls try and cram around two tables to sit and talk with me haha.. so cute.
thursday laura asked if i could teach her english class again. i always love teaching that class.. they are such fun people. rika invited me to go to naha with her on saturday to dinner and dancing, so i was excited for that.. i love naha. it is the closest to the city-life i will get here on this island!
saturday morning after skype calls, i went to the beach.. it was finally sunny on a weekend and my tan was going away! :) the beach i normally go to is now closed for swimming.. too many dangerous jellyfish. but i still enjoyed catching some rays and walking up and down the beach looking at sea shells and coral. i can never get tired of these beaches :) and i found huge holes in the sand that crabs live in! i tried to take a picture, but i got too close every time and they would scurry back into their holes.then that night, rika picked me up and we went to naha to meet up with her friends. after dinner, we walked down the main street looking at shops before we went to the club. there must have been some new americans here because i heard them say, "look, an american!" when i walked by. brought back memories of when i first came here :) i was surprised at how much the clubs are here.. 2200 yen ($22)!!! i'm used to getting in for free haha! but you got unlimited drinks, so i guess it can pay for itself. however, when you are a girl, you normally get free drinks at clubs, so it was still expensive :) it was a lot of fun.. the djs were really good. met a lot of interesting people haha. there were mostly american guys there and japanese women. however, there was one japanese old man who was visiting from mainland. he sat at our table and just STARED at me. i would look and smile and he would give me a thumbs up haha. he only knew a few words in english. one being dance haha. so after saying no a few hundred times, i finally gave in and danced with him. hilarious! everyone was laughing on the dance floor. he also knew beatiful, and at the end of night, told me that he loved me haha. then he tried to kiss me!! full on grabbed my face and tried to kiss me on the lips!! oh goodness.. did he really think i would want to make-out with him?! it was also funny that all the guys i talked to assumed i was in the military. seriously?! they were surprised that i'm here teaching off base.. no connection to the military.. just randomly here teaching first grade. but the ladies and i had fun dancing all night.. we didn't get home to almost five in the morning! all that to say.. i've been very lazy today :) did some grocery shopping, laundry, and some skype calls. i'm going to bed early tonight! :)
