Yay Japan! Yay Life!!!! Things are really looking up <3
So lately, I'd been getting sick, sleep deprived, slightly depressed, and rather stressed out as usual due to my hermitism (well the sick part not so much...)
Yesterday, I fell asleep around 11, totally unable to do much of anything due to exhaustion, but that seems to have really helped! The sickness is taking a back seat, getting healed before it becomes much of anything (*pats her strong immune system on the back* <3), and my throat feels practically totally clear now. Also, I felt relatively energetic compared to the last couple days in which I'd been getting like 3-4 hours of sleep a night. Still, tonight I'll probably try and turn in early once more to help with fixing my horrendous sleep schedule.
So sickness and sleep deprivation have been battled magnificently. The slightly depressed thing didn't hold up too well under the onslaught of 25 cute elementary students, all wanting my attention XD;; Honestly, it's weird because I'm not really a children person, you know, and I don't consider myself particularly good with children, but maybe I underestimated myself? (Then again American children can turn you off kids for life <<;;) There was one little girl in particular that latched onto me, and after just 1 hour of class wanted me to sit next to her at lunch. So cute!! :3\
This was after a small mishap this morning, where I headed straight to Noyori elementary school, like I thought I was supposed to, but really I was supposed to go to Ouda middle school like normal, and wait to get picked up for my one class at Noyori XD (Ouda was having midterms so no classes there either). I checked, and sure enough there was a mail from my supervisor, but it was at 5, and I'd been out shopping, so I didn't see it ._.;; Anyway, waited for another bus, and was like 30min late to Ouda. Luckily, they didn't know I was supposed to be there either, so it was confusion all around <3
So anywho... the feelgood things start from then. First, I knew that Ouda wouldn't be supplying lunch today, so I was supposed to bring food, but forgot. I was going to have to grab random food somewhere around the school, I thought, but it turns out that Noyori had lunch prepared for me! Happiness <3 Then after that bit of satisfaction, the principal, vice principal, and I had a small pow-wow, and it was decided that I could just go home, because I had no classes at Ouda either. This way, he also wouldn't have to send me to Ouda by car, so it saved him a trip, but still... half day baby!!!
That's not the biggest thing that happened today, though. You know that speech I've been agonizing over for the past month or so? Procrastination up the wazoo??? Yeah, so I get home, and there's an email from Utano's vice principal. It goes something like this:
"About that speech I asked you to give? Due to time restraints, it's been cancelled. I'll tell you the details tomorrow. Though, we scheduled it for you (it got cancelled). I'm sorry."
XD;;; Karma??? One wonders what I did in a past life to get such good luck. I mean of course, sometimes things blow up spectacularly when all the wrong things happen at the wrong time, but I get phenomenal things like this happening too :D
I suppose I should still watch out, in case she's thinking of rescheduling the darn thing for later, but I really hope not <3 Plus, she would have said, the time got moved instead if that was the case, right? Instead of saying "Cancelled" :O. Still, even rescheduling would be somewhat of a godsend, since it means at LEAST another weekend's worth of time to prepare.
On top of that, I gots me some chocolates and ice cream today X3 Life IS good <3
