It's nearing the end of the school year (everything starts here in April) and that means two things for classes: there are very few of them in the next month, and we start focusing on future-tense. It leads inevitably to the "future plans" unit.
One of the activities we did involved students making a timeline. Most write "get a job" or "go to professional school" instead of "go to university." There's one boy (in the aforementioned two-boy class) who I'm trying to draw out of his shell of teenage-angst. I asked him what he'll go to professional school for.
"Fashion," he said.
In my high school and I suspect many others back home, that's at least a two year sentence for merciless you're-so-gay teasing. While foreigners often comment on the femininity of Japan's men, I give it props that things like this can happen. On the flip side, the discrimination runs deep in other ways.
