Sooo, I'm having quite a constructive day. I've paid my water and sewage bill by "furikomi" (bank transfer) and been trying to sort out a load of crap to do with my flights home. I've also avoided any lessons so far and am in the process of filling out some paperwork. Pretty good.
The only annoyances so far have come from the fact that it's 29 fucking degrees! (can you believe that?) and the English teacher next to me. He's got this weird scabby skin that he keeps scratching (which is really quite disgusting) and he was just using his ear picking spoon/pen thing which makes me want to wretch. He's also incredibly nosey and every ten minutes I catch him trying to look oh-so-not-subtley at my computer screen. I've remedied this by looking at him every time I spot him doing it. If he keeps doing it, I might start suddenly turning around and shouting "WHAT??" every time he does it, only to carry on without another word.
In terms of the other disgusting acts, I have decided that rather than just sit here and get annoyed with them, I can do one of two things.
1) I could beat him over the head with a stick until his spine becomes detatched from his ass, which would finally give me peace and quiet... and also something to do for five minutes.
2) I could just leave the classroom and go and do something somewhere else for a couple of minutes until he's done. In this case, I just have to be careful to close all the windows I'm using on the PC otherwise he'll read me bitching about him (hmmm, maybe I should let him).
I think I'll go for number 2). It's a more mature response, probably safer in the long run, and will avoid me doing lengthy prison time. It just doesn't quite have the satisfaction factor of 1). Oh well...
