My first night...

I spent my first night in my apartment.  It was a little scary, but not bad  I sleep in the room with the air condictioner, so that is good.  My supervisor stayed for a while and then asked if I was going to be lonely after she left.  I thought that was nice.  My supervisor is really nice!  I am so happy with her.  Actually she and another older teacher came to get me yesterday in Mito, the prefecture capital.  I was happy to have two people come and get me.  They bought me lunch and then we drove back.  It was a long drive back.  They said I am closer to Tokyo than I am to Mito.  I am happy to be close to Tokyo.  Bando City (where I live) isn't that exciting like Yokosuka was.  I am close enough to Yokosuka though.  I can probably go down every weekend if I want.  Maybe at first I will go a lot, then less later.   First I have to figure out how to get to my nearest train.  My predecessor is going to show me that today or tomorrow.  Then I will get to my nearest JET neighbor.  I plan on spending a lot of time with her as well.  I don't know, I guess right now I am a little overwhelmed, but I have good people helping me and each day will get better.  In Chicago they told us about taking advantage of each day as a JET because it goes by so fast.  They said each day that goes by is one less day in Japan.  They said it helps you get through the bad days in Japan.  They also said it makes you feel bad on the good days in Japan!  I have already been here for a few days, so my countdown has already begun!  Plus once I figure out a what is going on and a routine, things will be fine!  That is about all for now.  I will write more soon.
