ショック！
The top news of the moment in the staffroom at school, thanks to a report of the morning news show I watch, Mezamashi TV, is that Yamapi has the flu. And apparently, so does Nishikido Ryo! I actually noticed that Yamapi wasn't very genki on 24 hour TV and looked drawn and tired in the most recent episode of Buzzer Beat. I hope he gets well soon! (and it's not just because I don't want Buzzer Beat to go on a break from filming)
Actually everyone seems to make a big deal out of the flu here in Nagasaki because it's supposedly rampant again even though it's summer. Some kids from another school played badminton against some of the kids from my school and there was a big uproar about flu prevention. I've been marking about 180 3rd grade JHS student diaries and many of them said their goal is not to get sick this year. Our school principal even made a speech at the closing ceremony of term 1 saying he wanted the kids to promise that they'd:
1. study during vacation and keep a regular schedule
2. pursue something they were interested and
3. try not to get sick
But I mean who actually tries to get sick? You never actually expect it unless you run around in the snow naked or something. But even then there people who gargle 3 times a day and wash their hands thoroughly and still manage to get sick.
Anyway right now I'm cho-genki. As in *smacks cheeks* I don't remember feeling this healthy in a long time. I'm not tired all the time even though I have the same amount of sleep (if not less than) I had before.
