Sometimes I write things. | Jenn in Japan

If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Sometimes I write things. November 10, 2011. This little experiment in sound appeared this morning. Rhyme. Rhythm. Syllables. Consonance. Assonance. Alliteration. Brevity. It’s probably best if you read this aloud…just a suggestion. I miss so many moments. And my meager mind is. I lose my equilibrium.

Melon Pan: Epic Festival Trip: Part One
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2010/08/epic-festival-trip-part-one.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. Epic Festival Trip: Part One. Because there is so much to report, I'm splitting this into two posts. Here's the first 3 days of my trip. Ok, so I got back from my trip on Sunday, but I'm still recovering. I'm exhausted . But I need to recap before I forget everything, so here we go! I watched for a couple of hours, actually, until it ended around 10:30. Then I remember how I was hungry and grabbed some food at a conbini and went to bed. Day Two didn't have near as...

Melon Pan: November 2010
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. Getting Sick in Japan. I know it's been three months since I posted. I'm sorry. I didn't really know how to follow up climbing Mt. Fuji, so I just kept putting it off. This post still won't really measure up to the last, but at least it's something, right? I'll try to keep a more regular schedule, too, from here on. Sunday night, my throat started hurting. I figured it would go away, and tried to ignore it as best I could, but didn't get much sleep. I'm feeling mo...

Melon Pan: Epic Festival Trip: Part Two
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2010/08/epic-festival-trip-part-two.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. Epic Festival Trip: Part Two. So we left off with me in Yokote after seeing the Akita Kanto Festival with all the lanterns. Day Four started off badly. I didn't set my alarm the night before, because I'd been naturally waking up around 6 everyday and wasn't in any hurry. However, I was apparently exhausted, because I woke up at 10:03. Check-out was at 10. This was not good. The station was huge, but there was an information stand set up for visitors coming for the...

Melon Pan: May 2010

A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. Here it is, the Sports Day post. And really, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a bunch of moving pictures to tell you about it better than I could. And that was pretty much my Sports Day. I just chilled and watched the kids compete. It was entertaining, definitely, though I wish I could have been a part of it somehow. Maybe for the next one. 5/22/2010 11:42:00 AM Category: my school. Like today. I was with my 2nd grade teacher in the classroom, wa...

Melon Pan: April 2010
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. First Week of School and Talk of School. Instead I'll talk about how my school runs, for those who aren't familiar with the Japanese system. This isn't my picture, it's from wikipedia, but my teachers' room looks almost exactly like that. My desk is on the inside facing away from the window, right in the middle. The other ALT has a desk right across from me, though he's only there on Mondays and Wednesday. Japanese Language Teacher: Good morning, everyone. And tha...

Melon Pan: August 2010
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. I'm not entirely sure how I did it, but I climbed to the summit of Mt. Fuji. Our journey began early Friday morning. I take the first train out of Hitachi (5:12am) and meet up with four other climbers. We have to take a long series of trains and one bus to get to the 5th station where we'll start our climb, but we we finally make it early in the afternoon. Was good to have later. Somewhere between 10 and 10:30, we finally reached our hut. And there was much re...

Melon Pan: School on Saturday is Never Good
http://laurennomelonpan.blogspot.com/2011/02/school-on-saturday-is-never-good.html
A sweet bread that tastes like honeydew. School on Saturday is Never Good. Yes, I know it's been awhile. Once again, sorry for the gap. So Saturday was Parents Day / Observation Day. Since so many parents work during the week, the school holds classes on Saturday and has a holiday the following Monday to make up for it. What this means for me is I have a 6 day work week, ending with a bunch of people watching me embarrass myself. Then I got nervous. I should maybe clarify here that my role in classes is ...

New* Matsue City, Shiname-ken, Japan! About The Jester of Japan. 124; Comments RSS. T D Jester, Jr. I'm a 23 year old dreamer with his head in the clouds and his heart in his hands. I love to write! I will be relocating to Japan in march and will likely change this description to mirror thus. Thank you for visiting, and though the information is scarce at the moment, it'll roll in as I start in on my adventure to the Land of the Rising Sun! Castles, and Samurai, and Lakes OH MY! I get to wake up to this!
