Well, today was an exciting day ^_^
To tell you the truth though I hated it in the beginning. This morning I didn't even feel like moving to go to school. Yesterday my seat got changed and I hate it because instead of sitting in the back I was moved to the very front. Bad things about this. 1: I'm all alone. In the back, there were people who sat in front of me so when other people visited them it would seem like I can somewhat be in their conversation. Being in the front, you can't just turn around and pay attention. It's sooo ackward and they may not want you in their conversation [even if you don't know what's going on]. Not to mention, the people who sit across and behind me, no one visits them. They either leave or they sit like a lump unsocialable. At the last class today the girl behind me gave me a paper that was being passed around [we were discussing the school festivial again] and I was going to ask her what it was but she didn't seem like she wanted to talk to me at all. It was like a, "what do you want" [rudely] expression. Thank god one of the nicer, friendlier students approached me. Then the other reason I didn't want to go was because I AM alone. Even at lunch when I sit with these group of girls, I don't talk to them because they're all in their conversations. Rarely will they speak to me or Pat just to make us feel more like we're here, existing. But then I'm alone again. I hate homeroom the most. It's sooo [well it feels that way] freaking long and all I do is sit there. After school when we clean the classroom is really the only time I feel more part of the class. But those are my hates about school.
Today the entire school had to take exams. Me and Pat were told to stay in the library during them. We were in there all day except for last period. We weren't alone though. There's also an exchange student from Germany in our school [she knows english yay!] whose's been here for 5 months already. I was told her name twice but I still can't remember it but I think it started with an N. Watch, I'm probably wrong haha. So, we were with her too. It was unbelievably boringgg though! In the ended I suggested playing dots. That's what the game's called, right? Where you draw dots on the paper and you have to connect the lines to make boxes? If it's called something else please correct me. But they've never heard of this game before so I taught it and the we played. Two Japanese teachers were watching us near the end of the game, and in the end the German girl won. After we played me and Pat had Japanese lessons. Every Tuesday for two periods we have to go to the library for Japanese language study. Ugh, I felt like I was back in preschool. I knew everything that she taught us from when I had my tutor back in America. It's so annoying learning it over again especally when she's teaching it like you have no clue what the heck you're doing. But there's nothing wong with reviewing I suppose. Hopefully next week it'll be a little more challenging though :/
After that we were left in boredom again. We ate lunch [the German girl wasn't with us anymore], went on the computer a bit, and then an experence. Oh my god. Those toilets I was scared of, my school has them. That's ALL they have. I'm searching each stall, "where's a normal one, where's a normal one?!" NONE. It was scary. I don't want to use one ever again. No way will I use one unless I really have to. I didn't bring my camera to school but I should. Next Tuesday I'll take a picture of it. Where the library is there aren't students around so they won't find me weird taking a picture of it. But seriously, I had to even kick that flush lever three times before i flushed properly. Then they don't even have paper towels to wip your hands at the sink. And it isn't just my school. At that first public restroom I went to when I first came it was the same there. No wonder Japanese always carry little towels with them.
Then eventually it was last period and I returned to class. We discussed about the festivial but I really had no idea this time what the hell was going on. All I know is that I bought a class T-shirt. I'm not sure what it's going to look like but something tells me yellow. We cleaned then I waited for Badmittion Club. Two classmates are in that club [I think I said that in the last blog] but I'm really glad about that. Us three were eventually the only ones left in the classroom. Club didn't start till sometime after 4 but we were late. School ends at 3:15 but it takes like 15 mins to clean. During that time in the classroom I got to talking with the two. That's when me hating the day all changed. I guess once you're actually alone with them they'll start talking with you more since they're not with all their friends. I guess everyone is like that. Their names are Yumi and Katako [or was it Takako? I'll find out for sure tomorrow]. Katako was in Australia for a month she told me and her English is really good. She was able to comprehend most of what I was trying to say when I said it in English. Yumi didn't talk to me as much as her but after Badmittion Club she started speaking a lot more. Before club I got them singing Perfume's "Polyrhythem" song haha. Badmittion Club was GREAT. I had soo much fun but I was dying from the heat. It was wayyy too hot. This entire city is wayy too hot. But it was dreadful in that gym. It was a lot of fun, seriously. I'm officially joining it ^_^
I did something bad though haha. It's actually funny. The gym is shared with two other clubs. Basketball and gymnastics. I was watching these people play basketball. And I'm looking, looking, and I swear they were all boys. I saw no ponytails in their hair and the shorts were long like boys would wear them. I believed those people playing basketball were all guys. Now, I wasn't wearing my glasses either but to tell you the truth I don't think that would have helped much. They seriously looked like boys. So anyway, I point to them and turn to Katako and ask, "Nande otoko aru?" [Why are there boys here?"]. She just looked at me then and said in english, "Boys? Those are girls". I froze. I basically just insulted how they look. Then she started laughing and asked, "You thought they are boys?". I just apologized then she went and told her friends who laughed at me too. It was funny, I was even laughing but still that's not very good. They really looked like guys :( I had to leave early so Yumi and Katako took me to the club room [it's really small] a half hour before I had to leave and we all were just talking. It was nice. I was told that one weekend after practice I have to go with them and take some purikura. Do any of you know what purikura is? It's veryyy popular in Japan. They're the photo booths in the mall where you take your picture with your friends and they make it a sticker. Except Japan's are much much more cuter. I was just invited to go somewhere. Wow, haha I think I just made my first friends ^_^ Joining clubs really does help out. And now I'm glad to walk into school now 'cause I know I'm not alone. I have people to go and sit by without invading in their conversations now. They helped me find my ride even though we ended up walking around the entire school haha I forgot where I was supposed to meet my otoo-san. They started singing Metro Station's "Shake It" even though they had no idea on the lyrics. They asked me to bring in the lyrics to school tomorrow. And so was my day at school. It turned out to be a very good day ^_^
I have a new favorite food, by the way. Okaa-san said it was Chinese but it was amazing~~ It had little bits of meat in it but most of it was leeks and egg. Wow. That's all I can say about it. She made it today. Hopefully it'll be in my bento tomorrow too. I think so 'cause that fried squid I had the yesterday, it found a way in my bento today.
