Embarrassing Story

So since moving here, there have been a fair share of embarrassing things that have happened to me. Today, was another day something had happened. So here we go… yesterday was Valentine’s Day. I got some sweets from students, in particular I got sweets in two small paper bags. thanks kanoha btw. One of them had a chocolate cake like thing and in the other was a chocolate marshmallow type thing. Of course I ate one, but as I have been eating like shit lately, I decided to save the other one for today…Well when I was leaving work, a bit later than usual, I saw a student studying so diligently. I have seen him studying in the same place for awhile now, so I felt kind of bad for him. I also thought to myself that I really didn’t need to be eating MORE sweets so I thought I would be nice and share with him. When I passed by him, I reached into my purse to give him one of the bags. I obviously chose the heavier one because I thought the cake was in that one. Gave it to him, and started going home. As I was driving home, I opened the other bag to throw away a piece of garbage and to my freaking surprise, THE CAKE WAS INSIDE. At that point I was thinking ;sajflsjflksdjfsdfhfk. So I hurried and drove back to school to see if I could catch the student to switch bags with him, because if I didn’t he would open the bag I gave him only to see bits of garbage that I had put in there throughout the day. BUT I COULDN’T FIND HIM! So, long story short, I gave one of my students, who i’m not even allowed to give sweets to, a bag of garbage. fml he must think im a weirdo now.

The end is near

So as I’ve stated earlier, I caught the flu this year. This morning I tried going back to work, only to be told to go back home because I was still contagious. JESUS people, can’t you see I wanted to actually WORK!? It’s one thing to have days off from work, but its another to have days off, but can’t do anything but mope around the house. Its a prison! I mean theres only so much YouTube and Netflix a girl can watch! I even did all my laundry, and cleaned the house…twice!

After I got sent home this morning, I decided to spend the day in nature. I haven’t been to the gym and got a workout in in a long time too, so I was planning on going to the sports park in Kobayashi. Once I got to Kobayashi, I started my workout. The weather looked promising, but had dark clouds rolling in in the distance. THEN, a man came over to talk to me about my jumprope. He asked if he could try it. Of course, I said “yes” (as not to be rude), but then he kept talking to me o_o At this point, we must have been talking for half an hour. AND, at this point it was drizzling. Fast forward to the end of our long conversation, I could only get a few sets in. People must have been looking at me like I was a crazy person because I was wearing a tank top. But then again, it is Japan, anytime I wear a tank top I get looks..even on the hottest of days. After I left the park, I went to the onsen to wash off and relax. It was nice. I think the one I went to in Kobayashi is one of my favorite local ones so far. They have an outside area too. Of course, while I was there, there were a group of older ladies who befriended me mostly because they were wondering what I was doing there on a week day. Talked to them, they were nice. One even gave me a free bath coupon for the next time I go. twas a good day. Back to work tomorrow, FINALLY!…and of course it would be Friday…the Friday before a three day weekend. lesigh
