Michiru spams her friends list with an update about earlier.
Last week, on Wednesday, I sort of set up an appointment with my Japanese teacher last year. So, I saw her today, after my Japanese class with Yamamoto-sensei. Yamamoto-sensei said that I said something that might be considered rude to some students, and she just wanted me to know that. I apologized, saying that I haven't been feeling well lately, so I hoped she'd forgive me. She said that it was fine, but students may not feel the same. I thought to myself that it didn't matter, since all of them didn't talk to me anyway...
She made sure I found a group for the oral presentation, and I thought that was nice of her. Well, it is her assignment, so I guess so...
Anyway, I accidently skipped lunch, so right after Japanese class, I visited Fujita-sensei's office first, but found that she was busy with someone else (I could hear it through the door) and left to the dining hall to get a to-go box.
I came back, and sat in front of her office door until that person was finished.
We talked about various things, but no matter what happened, she always said the things that I needed to hear. She said all sorts of positive things, and even though she and I both know that we have our down times, we've just got to keep trying our best. I expressed how I couldn't take Japanese anymore, and she said that it was unfortunate that I won't be in the class with her. She suggested that I could drop by the Japanese 2 classes, just sit in the back, so I won't forget my Japanese. I thought perhaps I just might do that a few times.
We talked about parents, family pressures. I brought up the subject on how I thought she wasn't very traditional person-- she felt Japanese, but there were qualities about her that felt truly American. She said that she didn't fit in-- in Japan. That's the reason why she's here in the U.S. She couldn't keep her mouth shut... hehe... she always spoke up.
I thought about it a little. If I had lived over there, I don't think I would have done what she did. I would be another member of the crowd. But since I live here, I guess that's probably why I feel differently. We're in the place of second chances... it's okay to drop out for a year, get work, and go back to school sometime. Over there, you just get looked down upon, like you're some inferior creature who isn't even human.
I hope her husband becomes better. He's in the hospital right now...
I really needed to see her. I feel better, but my chest still feels very tight and heavy...
And something bad! My Cingular bill has 25 bucks worth of TAXES AND CHARGES. Oh boy. And it is over 100 bucks because they want us to pay the next month in advance. AND my promotion isn't there. I need to call them now. And maybe a nap after...
EDIT: Fixed the problem with Cingular. And my right pinky keeps hurting. Ever since I accidently cut my pinky on the edge of the copper plate, it's been stinging like crazy.
