Ill do it as a first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Unfortunately, neither of the above sentences is grammatically correct. They use too many words to express the same concept.

Thank you very much!

Have a nice weekend Koir san

I am going to get out of my town and to stay with my best friend in the city for 3 days!

How about you? What's your plan for this weekend?

No plan to come to Japan yet?

Not sure about the weekend (beyond the usual), but I'm expecting to do a job interview soon. I'll do my best and hope I get the position. I have loans to pay off! :P

Plans are cheap. Reality, however, is very very expensive!

Oh, good luck!
Does the job have anything to do with Japanese?

Yes, you are right!

I wish the company that is going to have you (Yes,you will get that job!) has something to do with Japan so they would ask you to go to the business trip to Japan!

it's 1am here, I think I should log out and go to bed (actually Futon!)

No, but it has a lot to do with what I went to college for over two years.

Yes, you are right!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I don't think they'll require me to go to Japan in the year I'll have it (the position is actually for a year, to cover the present employee's maternity leave).

Oyasumi (or however good night is spelled), Mayumi!

Hello Koir-san,

How was your weekend?
well... it's a bit late to ask about the last weekend right?

and do you have any plan for this weekend?

here in Japan,
we have 5 holidays in a row from 26th
(someone told me that it's called silver week, but I am not sure.
Do you know that we have holidays called "Golden Week"?)
so I am leaving home tomorrow and coming back on Friday night.
visiting my family and friends and 2 cats and a dog in Yokohama.

Not really much. Being anxious about the job, only to find out everything they told me was an untruth, and they already had a person in mind for the position.

I'm too old and the wrong gender for jobs in this town, apparently. Eh, it just means I should look elsewhere for employment.

and do you have any plan for this weekend?

Same as the week. Probably more than once wondering what I was doing last year at this time...

Yes I do. One of the things I learned from the Haruhi anime.

so I am leaving home tomorrow and coming back on Friday night.
visiting my family and friends and 2 cats and a dog in Yokohama.

Ah, cats. They were the one thing that kept me the most sane while I was in college. Relieves stress when for a while I could play with a couple kittens after a day of classes.

Yes, you are right!

Heh. Funny joke there.

how about Japan

Haruhi anime... mmm I've never heard of it

I don't know why I love cats so much...
(Almost) everytime I find(meet) a cat on the street (or wherever) I would stop to try to talk(?) to her/him

I think I should be a cat for this Halloween.
I was KIKI (with Jiji on my shoulder) last year.

mmm...

Heh. Funny joke there.

Thank you for saying so

Hello again

My students and I sometimes make songs up, but I'm not sure if they are correct English.

Can anyone correct and help us with making good kids songs?
We want to make funny songs.

This is one we just made it up, while we are lerning body parts,
We were supposed to do "Head, Sholders, knees and toes" but we all find it's boring... so we wanted some new song.

"Touch your head and touch your toe and turn around"
"Touch your chin and back, then run run run"
"Touch your head with your elbow and hop hop hop"
... things like these...

Do these make sense?

[Koir]

Only change I can make is "toes" instead of "toe". The rest is perfect.
