More Mail and Wait your paying me?

Today I got a package from back home. It was mostly things I had asked for, SFC games, a razor (my dad sent enough to last me 10 years), tums, my backpack, iPhone charger. But there was something else, something awesome, a drawing from my 2 year old niece. I'm trying to figure out where to hang it but I love it. Later I popped in one of the games I had sent from home and gave it a go on the TV (my wife calls it the FreeV) I moved the other day.

A Masterpiece

Then yesterday at my Japanese class my teacher asked me to go to a teacher lecture today, he made it seem like a class for people that want to be teachers and they needed students to help out. He said all I would have to do is show up and hang out for 2 hours and they would pay me 2500 yen (about $25). It was at a different location but pretty close to where my regular classes are. I thought about it and decided to go, I looked up how to get there and while I did need to take a bus that I had never taken before it didn't seem too bad. When I got there I checked in and was paid then I was asked to wait in another room with the other students. There were about ten of us and most of them were from my regular class we ended up hanging out and talking for about 30 minutes. Then we were asked to go back to the first room where one student was assigned a group of 8 or so teachers. They asked us questions and we talked it was really more like an interview then a class and then after about an hour the time was up. So normally people pay to be taught but here they were paying the students I just thought that was funny (and awesome!). So in the end I got my first "paycheck" but it was actually cash but hey that works.
