yoroshiku!

Got to school this morning, sat down at my desk and the 1st grade teacher comes up to me and says 'yoroshiku onegaishimasu!'

Yoroshiku has many meanings, but whenever it is said to me it usually means 'thanks (for doing something i'm about to dump on you!)'

I quickly consider my schedule for today and no, no 1st grade class, so i tell her i don't know what she is talking about. To which she replies 'English song at the morning meeting, yoroshiku' and walks off. EH?!!

The next thing i know, the Vice Principle is telling me to get my ass down to the gym coz the Principle has called a school assembly.

The Principle does her looooooooong speech, of which i understood approximately 0% of, and then i hear 'music' and am ushered to the stage and handed a microphone. Holy mother of god! I manage to understand enough to hear that this months school song is 'Head, shoulders, knees ('needs' in this case!) and toes and that i've got 2 minutes to teach it.

So, off I go. And all the while i'm singing and doing the actions on the stage with the entire school watching me i'm thinking 'God, i wish i'd washed the wig this morning!'
