I had a work stress dream and I just realized why.<\/p>\n

The bell rang and I was supposed to have a kids assessment, but some other duty had taken me away, and I was late and rushing to change my clothes, but the bathroom stalls were occupied, so I had to find another place to change. Then I had to go do some errand, and I\u2019m thinking, \u201coh no, the customer is waiting.\u201d Finally I rushed in, holding material for Starter 1 Orange for kindergarteners. However, the boy was 1) NOT Japanese, maybe like Indian, 2) at least 11 years old 3) His father and brother were in the classroom, too, and 4) He had an English Beat 1 book sitting on the table. I was like, \u201cUh, the staff didn\u2019t tell me he was a former student?!\u201d He stood up and said, \u201cHello, I\u2019d like to introduce my father!\u201d I thought, wow, that’s amazing English… \u201cUh, nice to meet you, sir,\u201d and then I started talking to them. I was thinking he was at least level EB 2 or 3, but then the BELL RANG and class ended before I could decide! <\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s because a kid\u2019s sit-in assessment occurred in a yesterday class on my day off. ~_~ My co-worker is capable, but assessments are one of my responsibilities as Kids Coordinator. Oh well, I\u2019m sure it was fine.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I had planned to watch practice, then go swimming, then come home and go to the movies to see Berserk. However, I woke up achy and with a slight fever! ;_; 99.1. ( My normal temp is 97.6) I scratched watching practice and swimming. ~_~;; First, I talked to both Mom and Dad on skype! It was the first time to sit down on Skype with my Dad! We did a test run once before, but this was our first \u201cdate,\u201d so to speak! \ud83d\ude00 SO WONDERFUL to actually see him while talking, rather than just hearing his voice! He is a little slow to use this kind of technology. My mom\u2019s been using it for years, though.<\/p>\n

I checked my fever and it had gone, so I slowly made my way to Kawasaki. <\/p>\n

Btw big news, I got a new printer! \ud83d\ude00 It also has a scan function and a photocopier function! It\u2019s amazing\u2026only 65 bucks! I needed to talk to the security guard\/ maintenance man about throwing it out, since you have to pay some fee, so I went looking for him. I found him, sitting in the garbage shed, peeling the labels off plastic bottles with a knife. O_O <\/p>\n

After greeting him, I said, \u201cYou have to do all that?!\u201d He replied, \u201cYes, I can\u2019t put them out like this! The caps have to be off and labels off, but most people don\u2019t do what they\u2019re supposed to! ;_; I even wrote this nice sign here, but people even mix metal cans inside their kitchen garbage. If I notice, I have to go fishing through it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Poor guy! So I listened to him for like 15 minutes. I felt bad for him, but I got to know him better. I see him every day, so that was nice. He is a 70 year old Japanese guy with a daughter who is a Chinese teacher, and has traveled the world. ^_^ I like him. And I hadn\u2019t known I was supposed to put my plastic garbage in a separate bag. ^^;; I knew about bottles, but not like regular plastic. Oops. So I\u2019m gonna be super careful now. He should write another sign, saying, \u201cIf you don\u2019t peel your labels, I\u2019m forced to do it,\u201d so people will feel guilty.<\/p>\n

On the way to the theater, I bought gym shoes (mens\u2019, cheap on clearance price and low quality, just for being indoor shoes to lift in), Calcium pills, and Tupperware. Then I saw the 12 o\u2019clock showing of Berserk. It was such beautiful quality, obviously, compared to the TV series. I hadn\u2019t realized that they changed voice actors from the series, because I hadn\u2019t watched the series in forever. I SWEAR that I heard \u201cOne Piece\u2019s\u201d Franky\u2019s voice in there, but I checked online and I couldn\u2019t find his voice actor\u2019s name. Also, Grifith sounded like Sasuke\u2019s voice actor sometimes, but the websites said not. >< I SWEAR they were in there! Hmmm weird. \n\nAnd the show was SO violent and SO gruesome. ;_; It was rated 15+ but I made a point to NOT look around the theater, because if I saw someone had brought their kids, I probably would have made a big scene. -_-; I don\u2019t wanna know. Limbs were chopped off and eaten, heads were flying, blood was spurting, women got raped, etc. uggg Usually people get desensitized to violence, but I\u2019m the opposite. I\u2019m sensitized. I used to watch the series in high school, but I have a low tolerance to graphic violence nowadays. I closed my eyes a lot during the show. ^^; I'm often glad that I have bad vision, because I can watch without my glasses and then know when the scene is over.\n\"berserk<\/a> <\/p>\n

ANYWAY I really hoped they would go PAST what they did in the series. ~_~ I was sad when the series ended, but it doesn\u2019t look like it they’ll make more. I have a hard time understanding the manga because the Japanese is hard, and the ancient guys speak in Classical. Anyone know a fan translation site? ;_; email me! Basilisk875 (at) yahoo.com!<\/p>\n

I ran into Celine in Kawasaki outside the theater! \ud83d\ude00 That was nice, but I didn\u2019t chat much, because I didn\u2019t wanna give her my cold (which is gone today. I feel much better, other than a runny nose)<\/p>\n

I then went to the Dotour coffee shop and studied Japanese for THREE hours straight! And I wrote my book! It was fantastic. I got so much done. I resisted eating Dotour\u2019s delicious milk crepe cake. I\u2019m very proud of myself. I had low calorie (80) ice cream instead. I also bought this melon pan bread shaped like Mt. Fuji, that I\u2019d always wanted to try, but only had a few bites. Saved the rest for this morning. Resist! Part of training.
\n\"mt<\/a> <\/p>\n

I had lots of beef for lunch but didn\u2019t get a stomachache at the time. I was shocked. I got it in the evening, though. Maybe that\u2019s when stuff hit my intestine. \ud83d\ude21 oh well.<\/p>\n

Came home, and read a lot of A Memory of Light.<\/u> So exciting! Dude, I keep forgetting who the characters are. I forget which of the Chosen did what. Their names are becoming a blur. and people keep getting reincarnated and getting new names. ~_~; So whenever the author embeds some hint about their past actions, I\u2019m so grateful. lol<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
