Day 3 part 2...
Feeling Tired....
Ok so my day is over and unlike my other school the VP offered me the computer with the internet because the rest of the staff was going to a meeting and I don't really have anything to do until 4:30. So here I am in an enpty office blogging.
I guess I wanted to comment on what I said earlier. About how I didn't really like second period.... they aren't too bad. I didn't know this earlier but I have to eat lunch with a different class each week and this week just happened to be second period class. I was expecting to find the same rowdy class as in the morning but they were actually pretty good. Four boys came up to me and started to ask these acinine questions but hey it was communication. From listening to these student talk I realized what little Japanese I really know. Anyway I guess you can say I kinda made friend with them. After lunch we ended up going to recess together and playing some dodgeball. I knew I was accepted when I caught th eball of one of the better players. Everyopne ooohhhed and awwwwed. It always feels good to be accepted right?
I left recess thinking that my day was kinda over but it wasn't I had one more class to see. First Im@pression : shy and timid. All I heard in that class was giggling or silence. It got riduculous after the first 15 minutes so I just sped through my introduction. Then I tried to play the game but they didn't really respond. That was a hellish 45 minutes. Afterwards the teacher came up to me and apologized for his class. And who am I to stand there and critize his class. I just smiled and nodded to everything he said and said that his class was ok. What he doesn't know is that when I say soemthign is ok it really means it could be better... that's mean... I'm probably gonna eat my foot again next week.
On a happier note, tonight is the JET program official social. That means boozing and partying Nihonjin style! I dunno if I'm gonna make it knowing that I need to bike up home. And the current temperature is not going to help either. But I hope its worth all the partying we'ree hoping to do tonight.
I told Krystal a story yesterday and she though tit was funny as hell. Here it is:
So I was in the office at my base school with just the VP and anotehr teacher. We were sitting quietly when the VP was making a small rukus. He was getting ready for an earthquake drill. I guess I never been in an earthquake drill before so I thought that I would watch. The VP was rewinding a tape when I walked over and started up a conversation. he played the tape for me which sounded lik a lot of rumbling sounds and things breaking. It was their "fake earthquakes" for the drills. So anyway he rewinds the tape and tehn starts to set everything up. The drill was supposed to start at 2+00 but the VP accidently hit play when the stereo was near the loud speaker and then it made this huge real earthquake sound. That's when the quietly working teacher jumps up and says (translation : WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!) You might be telling yourself that this isn't funny but you need to change the snetence above into japanese and then slurr it as a middle aged japanese man who just got the shit scared out of him. Krystal laughed so hard she was turniung red. That's my funny story.
