We welcomed the incoming first year students dressed in regalia! It was a new experience for me to be wearing a cap & gown to welcome students. We walked through the front gate that was crowded with families and students.
I came across 2 former students that I taught in the American Studies Program (ASP) 2012 class in Salem. One student hugged me, and the other student messed up my hair! ha!
I heard it is not common to be smiling at an event like this, and I was so happy & excited that I had a smile on my face the whole time. :)

After the Opening Ceremony in the gym, we scurried off to officially receive our contracts from Tokyo International University from Chancellor Kurata-san. Yes, that's me receiving my official contract! Lots of bowing, which I'm not sure if I did correctly... I was nervous, and it went by fast!
We were very lucky with the weather. The spring days keep switching from warm & sunny to cool & rainy. Today it's rainy... Yesterday it was sunny. Now that we have officially accepted our new positions... time to start LESSON PLANNING! :)
