I got a split finger, a cankersore (however that is spelled), and cramps. The joys of winter and being a girl.
We had snow this morning. I could see MY BREATH IN THE HALLWAYS. It is WINTER.
Classes:
3rd grade: both classes went well, the kids loved that I would stamp all over their bingo sheets. And they'll hold my hand. T^T You have to realize I don't get to touch people. This might not seem like a big deal but in the US I could always hug a family member or friend. I can't do that here. People don't touch often. They don't communicate that way. So to have a child hold my hand is just...it's like getting a hug. For me at least. It means they like me enough to share germs. <3 My signature was also sought after. I wish all kids could stay in grades 1-4 for forever. They're so much easier to deal with then.
2nd grade: the sort of bad class? Really huge class and really rowdy. But they liked the dress up game we got going so hey at least it was a success.
1st grade: this one also went well. Started late though...this class always does though. The teacher has a tendency to forget I even teach her class. The kids still go nuts for me, though they are amazed I can find their class room on my own. Well, we've lost 5 minutes already! When I got a lot for you to do, I need all the time I can get! Luckily I know what to shorten...
5th grade: ugh painful. they pay attention but they're shy and can get bored easily. And I was tired. but we managed and their teacher at least knows how to work off of me well. I'm glad for that.
Lunch was okay though it was delayed. A pair of 6th graders had to try to perform for us? Basically they were joking around in the shoe lockers, singing really loud, so the principal was like ok fine do it here in the staff room and the one kid was embarrassed as hell. I don't know if they plan to do this at some school talent show or if they were being goofs but I wanted to tell them to do it with their all. As someone who has to act silly in front of classes every day, I can say it is fun and if you do it with your whole being, you'll often get smiles in return.
By the way, the kids love it when I have conversations with myself. RACHEL, RAEANNA, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS EVER EXPERIENCED THIS, THE CHILDREN AGREE WITH YOU. I AM A RIOT.
I also got to take milk home as so many people are out sick/not drinking their milk our fridge was about to burst with little milk cartons. XD;
The kids have really been talking to me after school lately! Today it was a bunch of fifth graders. To sum it up, two boys kept trying to get me to carry their bags (they're a pair of class clowns) and I would take it, say "Okay." and then promptly put it on the ground and keep walking. They got a kick out of this. We even rock paper scissored for it and I still won. It was quite amusing because they don't expect me to answer in English, or to be smart with them in Japanese. I can play your games, guys. XD I was a kid once too!
I finally fixed my small package door thing! I now know the combination! Woo! But two old ladies saw my Yoshiki shirt and seriously went YOSHIKI LOL at me. D= Whattt? Can't the white chic like your crazy rich rock star dudes too? T__T
However, the bike the BOE gave my predecessor is still MIA...>_>;
I really do not want 5 classes tomorrow. 2 of which are 6th grade which have become "UH WELL WE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING DON'T YOU WORRY, PRACTICE RHYTHMIC CHANTING." ........riiiiiight. -_-;
In other news, Kaori (for the record, the only Kaori I know is Toshi's wife and I do not know her but know of her so when I say Kaori, that's who I am referring to) has explained the reasoning behind her nickname Wanku.
Basically, she thinks she looks like a toy poodle and a Borozi, more or less a Borozi though. She does have a kind of long face, but it's the way her eyes are set. She brought this upon herself, and got others to agree with her. So. She calls herself Wanku. Wan is obviously for dog. Ku...cute noise? Short for kun? WHO KNOWS. And as I am easily entertained, by having conversations with myself, you get one!
J: I totally just thought of this right
J: Kaori can update her blog like mad with Toshi gone
J: and tell us how much he smells
M: XD;;
J: or how he won't eat cooked carrots or some shit
J: "DID YOU GUYS KNOW, THAT HE IS SCARED OF SNAILS? I ONCE MADE ESCARGO AND HE WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE BEDROOM FOR 5 HOURS HAHAHAHAHAH"
J: "DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT HE HATES BUBBLES?!"
J: "Did you guys know that-well actually your probably know about him and Yoshiki...BUT I TELL YOU ANYWAYS!"
J: Y: Toshi, why you so pale? <-in Hong Kong
J: T:..I'mgonnakillher
J: Y: Who?
J: T: My wife!
M: XD;;;
J: Y: Why? IthoughtIhadpaidtogetherkilleddamnMasayamusthavegoodninjas!
J: K: *posting photos of toshi from like 3rd grade, 10th grade, the 80s, when they got married, what he looks like when he doesn't shave, sleeping* MWHAHAHAH
M: XD
J: T: DO WE HAVE A PHONE? I AM HAVING A MARITAL CRISIS
J: K: *posts some really ghei photos too* hehehe I like this one
J: Y:...WTF WHEN DID SHE TAKE THAT?! SHE PROMISED SHE WOULDN'T TAKE ANY!
J: T: HELLO I NEED JAPAN, MY HOUSE, UH SHIT WHAT IS MY PHONE NUMBER
J: K: DID YOU KNOW THAT TOSHI EATS ICE CREAM...wait you know that...but HE MAKES THESE CHIPMUNK NOISES WITH EACH BITE! it's kinda annoying D=
J: T: fhwjery43liur2323 SHE IS NOT PICKING UP
J: Y: I WILL DISPATCH CHINESE CHILDREN TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH KUNG FU SKILLS!
J = Jess, M = Mimika (my every CAPTIVE audience.)
Btw, the Chinese children joke has to do with an X Japan rumor. We figure Yoshiki has bought China. =( [no offense, we're poking fun at Yoshiki, not China.]
But yeah. When the husband is away, the wife is at play! Or so I like to pretend. XD; She's a real sweet sounding lady though. No one else can write about looking like a dog in such a way that you don't feel offended for them like she can. I do think she is the same brand of special as her husband and this might be why they are so much in love...or married...or whatever.
But I'd marry Toshi if he was pushing me around, while on roller skates, calling me stupid Ophelia too. <3
And this is really long so I think I should end it here.
