Ohhhh life
Last night we went to the Kera Live and Fashion show at Esaka Muse. It was pretty fun, though I think I got dehydrated or something. I have been feeling queasy, but I chalk that up to hormones getting ready to make me cry in pain and moan for a day and a half about. XD Also, drinking too much coffee and sugar does not help.
Oh and I seriously LOVE my Wrimos. <3 LOVE THEM. I reached 40k EXACTLY today. I was thinking about finishing up the scene I was on, but that's going to lead into another scene, and I am REALLY AMAZINGLY TIRED right now, so I am thinking about going to bed without even showering. I only have one class. I'll be . . . okay. Maybe. Ahahahahahahaha. It's a speaking test, so it'll be pretty easy doings.
Um so yes this live . . . I went to see Hear. And see awesome clothes and different stuff, but mainly for Hear. Hear is a indies band that sings crazy songs about all manner of weird stuff, like going bald, marrying someone old to collect their life insurance, and how other "visual style" bands cover their faces when they pose for photos to hide their flaws. They are a very tongue in cheek, silly and light hearted band.
Also, their lead singer is the most amazingly beautiful person in the world. Seriously, Aito is just full of love. I think I've said it before, or at least it has been said, but she's one of the people you meet in the world who you know God made to show you that there are amazing people in this world. It was her birthday and I made her a cake, I hope it was tasty. :3 I really want to be as brilliant and happy and loving as her. I think I am too embittered right now.
After the live we all got Kera snapped. Which means they took out pictures for the Kera Magazine. I don' think that means we automatically get in, but still. I was just SO bewildered by it, because I was only wearing regular clothes (Well, I was wearing a skirt from gouk and earrings from BPN), so I wasn't really dressed to impress anyone, I was dressed more or less for comfort.
Oh well. :3
The bitterness is getting me right now, because my students are making me loathe what I do and hate Japan. But that's not true. I like teaching and I like my third year students, but the first years? Are just getting worse and worse. Two of the classes are REALLY out of control, though the one moreso than the other. I had to walk out on the worst class this past week, which made me angry. I HATE leaving the JTE like that, but when I tell the kids to shut up and they just laugh at me cause I'm pissed? No. I'm not having it. I seriously want to smack two of them, and I cannot do that. Because I like my job and I wish to keep it.
Sometimes the fact that parenting is a joke in this country bothers me. You know, I wouldn't mind marrying a Japanese man, but like HELL I'm letting my kids go through the school system here. No way. Unless I want to send my kid to some soul sucking academic school or maybe international school, it's just not worth it. Sure, the American school system has it's failures too, but they won't let my kids be complete dickheads in class and get away with it.
If that seems overly harsh, let me assure you--while my students are not physically abusive (aside from the kid kicking me in my calf on Friday), they are rather cruel when it comes to verbal abuse. And I have NO recourse for when they call me fatty, or say things like "Big stomach! BIG STOMACH!" It doesn't hurt, but honestly I have heard that SO OFTEN I am just sick of it. Mind you, they also like to ask my JTE if her wedding was a "shotgun wedding."
These are the same brats that clean the staff room, though there are a group of otaku girls who love me in there, so they usually protect my desk. And I've started putting my laptop in the staff locker room during cleaning because I don't trust thier classmates. Ever since I started to ignore the worst of these brats, things have started to escalate a bit with him, he's getting desperate for my attention. I purposefully ignore everything he says to me, and if ANYONE calls me on it, I will probably flip.
Oh yeah, and with the kicking thing? Ugh, his friends were trying to STOP me from leaving the class. He'd better be happy that I wasn't really thinking, because if that happens again, I will shove him out of the way. hard. What the heck! I thought these idiots got BORED when you ignored them! I guess it's the Japanese "YOU CAN'T AVOID ME I WILL HARASS YOU" kind of thing. ARG.
The worst part about it is I was forced to walk out of a class that has students that I like to talk to, but unfortunatly if I want to avoid the boy who tried kicking me last week, I have to leave class the second the bell rings.
Man, I don't want to teach the first years anymore.
Anyway, I could keep going but I'll just talk myself in circles.
I want sleep. =/
