wow it's already Friday. Time sure did pass, thank god too. (this is a bit long)
So,
this week I was stuck in two different classrooms since my class was
in Hawaii. Damn them. I'm really glad they're back though. Andd~ I was
given a gift ^_^ The class got me a bracelet ^_^ but to tell you the
truth even though Mizuki told me it was from everyone I don't think
everyone knew about it 'cause when Ayami saw me wearing it she asked if
it was from Hawaii. I said it was from everyone and it didn't quite hit
her at first. I really love it though and I'm not big into that stuff.
Ugh, and the rain today. Totally insane. It was literary (I just
looked up in my dictionary how to spell that. I'm forgetting English
>_
So, I was kinda
dreading about this week. Only because I really didn't want to go to 2
other classes since my class wasn't here. On Monday and Tuesday I was
sent to class 3-7. Ugh, what a bore. The people weren't as in your face
as my class was. Like I mean, they were just uninterested in me. Not
like I really cared but it made things boring. At lunch me and Pat only
ate with this one girl, who was talking to Pat because she knew Thai
as well. She was there as an exchange student last year. But yeah. It
actually wasn't until Tuesday that I started talking to this one girl.
It wasn't even until last period that I did that too 'cause it was
English class and we were asked to separate into a group and I just
randomly joined her's. She was actually born in Florida but moved back
to Japan soon after. She said she wants to go to college in America to
work with programs like Unicef and such. That's really awesome. I
couldn't understand when she told me her name. It sounded like Ellena
but then she saw the kanji on my shoe (Mizuki wrote my name in kanji on
my school shoe) and she said the first kanji was the same as her's. So
if her name has kanji it's definitely not American. So, in a way I was a
little upset that that was my last day. I DID want to meet new people.
But oh wells, I suppose. Class 1-6 awaited me.
Wednesday
and Thursday was class 1-6. I discovered after walking into the
classroom that the girl who comes for every morning for the bus is in
that class. She took me to the room, too, since I asked her to. But that
was bad. It was like the same as 3-7, no one really cared. I mean,
yeah, they all glanced at me but it wasn't until Nora (she belongs to
that class) came over to me with her friends. That's when they started
talking to me. It was nice. Okay, so maybe I do care just A LITTLE that
no one cares that you're there. Only because it just makes you feel
sooo awkward being there. The first class was supposed to be English. I
was shocked when I saw the teacher put Ponyo in. Ponyo is Hayao
Miyazaki's (if you don't know who he is and you're an anime fan, you're
an idiot. A BIG idiot.) newest movie. It has a longer name but I only
know it as Ponyo. I didn't think it came out of theaters here yet so I
was a bit surprised. It is seriously like brand new. After a black body
suddenly walked on the screen I realized it was one of those bootleg
movies. I've been dying to see that movie though, even though it was
the very end of it I'm glad I saw it. So, that made me pretty happy ^_^
Then
we were off to the classes where I have in 2-7 where we only speak
English. There was one different teacher though. She's African American
and actually from Pennsylvania as well, shockingly. She said she lives
near Penn State. Well, LIVED. I think she thought I was a new student
in the class like Nora was 'cause she wanted me to write a essay about
what I thought the differences were in Japan and America. Phew, thank
god I'll never be seeing her again. An essay? Cummon. Can't I just tell
you? But yeah. The day went by but there was this one girl that stuck
out. Her name was Mizuki (wow, now I know 2 Mizuki's) and she seemed
like she seriously wanted to be my friend. Like she was helping me by
telling me where to go and such and in the second all-speak-English
class I got to talk to her a bit more. Then she just got super shy. It
was strange. Before the whole becoming shyness thing she was saying
about doing Purikura and stuff and then invited me to eat lunch with
her. No words were said in lunch. I gave her my keitai address but she
never put her's in my phone. I don't know. It was all too strange. Then
there was this class. It was kinda like an home economics class but
that day we learned about old people. We were given these glasses to
wear so that our visions were like blinded, taped our middle and index
finger together, and stuck cotton balls in our ears so we had less
hearing. Then we had to lead our partners through the classroom while
they were blindfolded. I now know how a old person feels. Also in that
class these two girls called me cute. More for the tallying. But then I
was asked if I would marry them. This is actually the second time I
was asked this here. In the beginning I thought it was all a joke but
now I'm getting worried it's not. Monday, I found out Nozomi (Pat's
host sister who's also in class 3-7 [she never asked me to marry her
though]) is 10% lesbian. She told us at lunch. And I asked her at the
Rotary camp thing if she minded being at an all girls school (I was
complaining then that there were no guys) and she said no. And then the
two girls who asked me this, the one states that the other girl was a
lesbian. They were both laughing so I'm not sure if it was serious or
not. Not that that stuff bothers me but I wish I knew if it's a joke or
not so I could give a stupid response back.
And
I know I mentioned how we have to clean the classrooms. And that we
clean the halls and stuff. Yeah. Well, I guess I should say this: we
clean basically the entire school, we all have different jobs is all.
Students are even sent to sweep the road of the school. But, Wednesday I
was sent to help clean the bathroom. I did NOT think we also cleaned
the bathroom. I looked at Mizuki shocked. The bathroom? The BATHROOM?
Yeah. They hosed down the bathroom floor and then they all went with
scrubbing brooms and scrubbed the bathroom floor. I didn't have to do
that thank god, I ran the sweeper outside the bathroom door but still.
That's crazy. And the building where all the ichi nensei (first year
student) go, it's incredibly dirty. If I was Nora and was stuck in that
building I think I'd go crazy. Sitting in there those two days made me
feel like I went to a crappy school. Sure I understand it's an old
building but that was terrible. They could at least do SOMETHING with
it.
Thursday
I felt sick. I slept in basically all my classes, well tried. Third
period I couldn't because the Health teacher wouldn't let me. He's a
really funny guy, all the students like him. I like him. It's just that
personally that he has that he'll poke you with something if you're
sleeping. That's what he did to me. I attempted at slumber but then he
hit this white stick over my head. He's actually the only teacher who
seems to care what I do in class haha. But I felt sick. Uck. And
remember when I felt sick before? I figured out how it happened.
SLEEPING. It's true. I felt sick again when I woke up from that sleep.
It's actually the third time it's happened. So now I can't sleep no
matter what or else I feel terrible all day. That totally sucks. How the
hell can you get sick from sleeping? I am somehow. Mizuki was acting
really strange that day. Wednesday I also found out she's in Sado (Tea
Ceremony) Club too, which is cool 'cause now I know someone else in
there except Pat and Nora. But she was acting strange. Like, she seemed
like such a loner but yet soo many people talked to her. It made no
sense to me. The last two classes of that day were either art or music. I
was going to go to art but I thought it would be easier to sleep in
music. So, I went there. In the beginning that was impossible. We were
learning to play the guitar, which is awesome. I always wanted to learn.
A girl next to me taught me a little but I forgot it already :( But
then I got to sleep most of the time. This girl came up to me twice in
the day asking if I liked Hannah Montana or The Suite Life of Zack and
Cody on the Disney Channel. She says she really likes Hannah Montana.
There you go, Ashley. I found you a Japanese fan.
I'm
standing at the bus stop after school that day waiting for the bus as
usual and this older lady goes walking pass. This short lady "glares"
up at me on her way pass and growls something at me. I have no idea
what the hell she said but I wouldn't doubt that she cursed me off.
'Cause after she passed me some guy that was near me looked up at me.
What the hell was her problem? I curse you off too.
Tonpi
twisted her ankle on Wednesday and Koudai got into a motorcycle
accident that day as well. It wasn't a very good day for my parents
here but Koudai is alright, thank goodness. But at the moment Okaa-san
and Tonpi are at the hospital. They're going to be there for two days.
I'm not exactly sure why two days, but it involves Koudai I know that.
So, me, Ai, and Otoo-san are only here. Well, really only me and Ai.
Otoo-san is usually never here and he already told me he won't be much.
So, here is today. haha and I felt like an idiot when I had to ask
Mizuki (from my class, 2-7) to introduce me to some guys. Yeah, I'm
going crazy. You can't live with girls surrounding you. Damn Ai, you're
lucky. I showed her the piece of paper I wrote it on and she started
laughing saying "kawaii" in between. She's gunna help me though. She
then showed it to Sayaka who just smiled this like really warm smile.
"Kawaii" came out of her mouth too. Sayaka said she'd ask someone. She
was all serious about this though. When we went to clean she started
asking me questions about height and hair style. haha Thanks Sayaka.
Since
Otoo-san was out today me and Ai were in the house alone. We actually
talked. wow. We talked. It was great. And I gave her a lemon Warhead.
Watching her eat it: PRICELESS. She wasn't expecting that much sour to
hit her. She was almost screaming in pain. I asked her about the boy
thing too and she was trying to think of people. We'll see what happens
now ^_^ I gotta study hells more now though.
Tomorrow
I'm going on a train for the first time. ALONE. I've never been on a
train before. I'm gunna get lost. I have to meet Ayami at a station 20
minutes away on train and then we're going to some other place who
knows how far away just to go to some school festival. Some school
called Seisho High School. She said I don't have to wear my uniform,
YES! I really think that's stupid that they do. But I'm finally getting
out and with some friends. We were gunna try for karaoke but why we're
going here instead I have no idea and it's just the two of us, too. So
yeah. I hope I don't get lost. I just have to count the stops. I was
told she's at the 5th stop. Damn. "Lost Foreigner" posters will be
everywhere haha.
