Finding a Meaningful Job

August 8, 2017August 8, 2017 ninjamoni 2 Comments

About two months ago, I started a new job! I quit teaching kindergarten and was really looking for a gig that would let me teach adults, and that’s what I found, thankfully. When I moved to Japan as a teacher through the JET program back in 2013, I wasn’t too excited about the teaching part. […]

The Teacher’s Room Makes Me Crazy

July 14, 2015July 14, 2015 ninjamoni 11 Comments

As an introvert, I hate the layout of the teacher’s room. No matter where you go in Japan (and many parts of Asia) though, you will find that open work spaces are the standard. As an introvert, I have so many problems with the spaces I work in but thankfully I am leaving soon, so now I can air […]

Gone with the Cherry Blossoms

April 5, 2015April 5, 2015 ninjamoni Leave a comment

It’s my last day of Spring Break and I’m sad to see it go. I got a lot done and I’m excited for the new school year to start because I know some of my teachers will have moved around and I will have new students at elementary school and my elementary school students will […]

Attending a Japanese Wedding

March 9, 2015March 9, 2015 ninjamoni Leave a comment

So when I first came to Japan, I was a high school student and I found a summer language program with AFS Intercultural Programs that allowed me to stay with a host family. I was placed in a city in Fukuoka Prefecture called Kurume and loved every minute of it. As an only child, it […]

Family Trip Recap and a Special Announcement!

February 4, 2015February 4, 2015 ninjamoni 12 Comments

This past weekend was a whirlwind of traveling, making arrangements, and translating from Japanese to Korean to English. The first time Junkyu’s friends came from Korea, our plans got muddled and things went awry, so I was a little more than nervous to see how this trip would turn out. Thankfully, I had already met his […]

Spring Cleaning in January

January 19, 2015January 19, 2015 ninjamoni 4 Comments

Work is going surprisingly well now. I think it’s the combination of coming back from a restful vacation and the complete freedom I have allowed myself to feel. I have started to really let go of things, especially annoying colleagues and my lazy supervisor. Everyone is mostly out for themselves, and I’ve learned to put […]

Japanese, Korean, and books, oh my! (New Year’s Resolutions)

January 8, 2015January 8, 2015 ninjamoni 29 Comments

2015 is my year to read a ton! Not only that, but I have two resolutions to help me achieve my language goals. My reading goal this year is to read 40 books, and in July I am finally committing to retake to JLPT N1. When I was in Kyoto studying abroad, I was placed […]

My First Christmas in Korea

January 6, 2015January 6, 2015 ninjamoni 16 Comments

So I took a nice, long break from everything for a while, took a few days off work, packed my bags, and spent about two weeks in South Korea. Back in August, I took a trip to Korea as well, where Junkyu and I traveled to Seoul, went camping, met up with friends, and enjoyed […]

Expat Life and Holiday Cheer

December 16, 2014December 16, 2014 ninjamoni 3 Comments

My mom is sending me a mini Christmas tree, my dad sent presents and food, and I bought a Santa hat recently. Although I live in Japan, where Christmas is more of a romantic date night than anything, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. When I was in Kyoto as a student, I […]

한국어 일기 10 (WEEKLY KOREAN DIARY 10) *Special Update Edition*

December 11, 2014December 11, 2014 ninjamoni 6 Comments

Wow, I can’t believe I’ve actually kept up with my weekly Korean writing. Since I’ve reached the ten-week mark, I will give you all some background info. (Korean Diary is at the bottom) I haven’t been in an actual Korean classroom since my second year of college. I started out in Beginner Korean and had […]
