another day in paradise, with my nose clogged with snot. gah, i have a cold. and today was mid-year seminar as well. so i had to sit through speeches, demonstration classes, and what not feeling like shit. i was so out of it. we were doing discussions, and i ...wait for it...fell asleep. to be fair, i do have a cold. absolutely no energy. i was looking at the clock and i'm like "geez, another hour and a half till i can go home". i zone in and out, and when i look at the clock again theres only five minutes left. oh shit. i did it again. i fell asleep. my japanese teacher (JTE) was sitting beside me, and i was like why didn't you wake me up??? and she was like, ohh, i guess i should have. lol...you gotta love the japanese. always afraid to impose.
after that, we had to go to a reception. and being a trooper that i was went bar hopping with my friends after. i made it through two bars before i said, that's it, i'm done. when you start using ur drink to cool your burning forehead, that's a sign that maybe u should go to bed. so here i am, on my bed typing an entry instead of resting. oh me, when will i learn? but it was lovely hanging with everyone. i've gotten really close with so many cool people in my prefecture. i would like to stay another year in japan, but sometimes i feel so...ambivalous (word of the day!). it's just too much sometimes.
anyways, i've left my door unlocked so lorna and amy can come in when they're done with clubbing. they're crashing at my place. we've unofficially decided that amy is the hottest girl in the ken (aka prefecture, similar to provinces in canada). wooooo, i got the hottest girl staying at my place ;-) i should start charging admission. last night, i was sick as well so i didnt go out. but i left my door unlocked for my friend shane. he stumbles in at 3 in the morning. i listen to him in my half conscious state as he bashes his head against my door (cuz he's pretty tall, things in japan arent made for gaigin "foreigner" bodies). i feel him shaking me awake, and he says "hey, it's me shane. i just wanted to let u know it's me and not some random stranger in ur apartment" i grunt to let him know i appreciate the gesture. i'm pissing like a fiend tonight. tiny bladder and narcoleptic. man, i feel great.
tomorrow is another day of workshops. i better get some rest now so i can make it through in a semi-conscious state at least. lol...there are going to be so many hung over people tomorrow. i'll have fun poking at them with sharp pointy things.
