O_o I know what you mean, I walked my dog today and when we got back we both had to towel dry like crazy at the door lest we flood the whole place! I immediately made a mug of tea and huddled up to my laptop. :)

Hello Chi
Welcome, and un abrazo from sunny Madrid! We were all "pre everything" once... Do you have a plan for putting some ticks in those boxes to turn all those pre's into posts?
There is some great content here, and if you want to get involved and question things, post on your feelings, start a debate etc., this is the place to do it.
Hugs
Julia

Hello and gracias Julia!
I'm quite new to this whole process but I have done a lot of research and hopefully will be able to get started on a plan of action soon. I worry because I teach primary and I'm not sure how physically changing would affect my position at the school (working full time and also quite a conservative school) so at the moment I lead a little bit of a double life (school days vs weekends!) :x (sorry if this topic is not the right place for this just wanted to reply to you properly ^_^) I am going to speak to my doctor again when I can and hopefully sort some things out and in the meantime I will stay positive :) Thank you for your welcome x

Hi Chi
Oh, the double life is not much fun. When I fell off a bike and broke my arm last year, just before I went full time, it was actually a type of relief, as I worked from home for 3 weeks and could abandon the schizophrenic double life!
You may find it useful to post a thread here asking for people's experiences of transition as a teaching professional inside a primary/secondary education system. You will almost certainly get a lot of very useful insight.
Good luck!

Returning from walk and walking to and from the bus stop wasn't much fun for me. It waa good to huddle in front of the fire when I got back in :)

Thank you Julia! I know what you mean :z Half Term (One week school holiday) is over here and I'm back to work tomorrow wearing a wig and looking very different to how I've been all week. Weekends often feel like relief but at the same time if I see a student or a student's family out and about I have to duck and dodge which is never relaxing >_<
I think that's a really good idea about posting something regarding being a teacher, I'm quite excited to do that now! I'm not sure yet where I post questions like that but once I've worked it out I'm going to see if anyone has similar experiences they could share with me ^_^ Thank you again x

Welcome!
Aren't those kotatsu crazy comfy? I live in Osaka and I have certainly abused mine in the last several months. It's been raining all winter here. Fortunately I've been able to sit on my couch and under my kotatsu at the same time. It's saved my poor butt as I have no padding!
Take a look around, you'll find we are all pretty friendly and it's a very international community. I look forward to seeing you around.

I have a takoyaki place two blocks away... Now that you mention it I think my healthy dinner plans are spoiled! I was gonna be good and eat veggies and miso... Not anymore! The food here is amazing. There's a new line of wasabi, shoyou and butter crackers... They are amazing. And now I have to go get food! :D

Ahhhh I'm so sad :'( I want to eat all the amazing food so badly! Hah sorry about your dinner plans but really miso and veggies - that is just a starter surely? :p Although that being said I am now planning on having zaru soba tonight :) I don't eat meat so it's a nice dish for me, but I really want to up my protein intake so I've been trying lots of nut bar things :laugh:
