Today I was sick. And this was not the time to get sick. The boss teacher isn't here this week so we are already one teacher short. Plus since we started having preschool there is at most one teacher on break for the morning. Also I think I am supposed to be in charge to two homeroom classes at once. But I felt nauseous. I had to step out of my one class a few times to get some air, then with about 15 minutes to go to lunch I had to run out of class and threw up. But I kept going, though I was laying it on pretty thick (head down on the desk during lunch and trying to look as green as possible around the other (Korean) teachers (since I don't think the other foreign teachers care, or have any authority to do anything at the least). So The other head teacher (who is in charge of the elementary kids in the afternoon) said that she would cover my last class and I only had to get through 2 more and I could go home. Well, I made it though a half hour of one and had to run out of class again. And she asked me to go back. I said no, that just wasn't going to work (as standing up and talking all make it worse). So they told me to go to the 'hospital' but I think they meant doctor because there was no way I was going to the hospital for what I knew only needs a little bed rest. But I went to the doctor because I don't know if they would have let me go home if I didn't go. But going to the doctor here is no biggy and so cheap I went. And it might be something minor and I'm gonna go back tomorrow. As far as being sick is concerned, this wasn't that bad and I almost enjoyed spending the evening in bed watching tv.
I've started downloading. I don't want it to become a thing and pretty much just want to use it to fill in the episodes that casttv doesn't have, and get back some of the music I lost. I've heard that the internet is really fast here. I don't know what good speeds are, but I was downloading something at about 1.5 Mb/s which seemed pretty fast to me and I was happy.
Back to Japan. I needed to kill time at one point and nothing was open so I went in the Starbucks. As I was walking in a guy that worked there who was carrying a bunch of big bulky things was also going for the door so I opened it and held it open for him. I think this is just common courtesy in the US. You don't have to do it, but it isn't uncommon (at least as far as I experienced at my jobs. But he looked at me like I had just done something unbelievable. I guess you don't doors for people at their work when you are a customer in Japan.
