Wandering day 2...

Confusion....

green means " Confused "

So anyway I got my internet access at home yesterday!! SUGE NA!! I arrived home to find two messages in my mailbox about Yahoo BB coming to my apartment twice to drop off my modem. I was pretty bummed thinking they came once at 10:30 and then again at 2:00. Honestly what working man would be home at 2:00 in the afternoon. Kinda sulking after the fact that everyone else might get internet before me I had a lovely dinner with Krystal. Chicken, rice, corn, umeboshi, spaghetti sause... you know the standard dinner. Anyway two of my new made friends (for you single guys in Hawaii that read this, pretty cute friends I might add) called to tell me they just recieved their modem. WHAT!?!?! So this guy makes a stop at 10:30 am and then goes back to their apartment at 8 to deliver? I wasn't gonna have any of this...

Krystal called the delivery man and lucky enough he was on his way toward my house for one more final check to see if I was home. So thats the story of internet access at home.

So anyway I was so excited that I got online at home that I totally trashed my house. There were twisty ties and plastic bags everywhere. Another problem that rose up was the fact that my phonejack thingy was no where near the current comfortable postion of the laptop. So last night, with help from Krystal we rearranged my whole apartment. Normaly that probably would have taken a few hours but my apratemnt being 6 tatami mats big it was done in 15 minutes. (1 tatami mat is about 5 feet by 3. So if you count the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area my whole apartment is about 6 of those mats. MY actual living space is about 3 - 31/2 mats big.)

So "why green of confusion?" you might ask yourself.

So I came into work today "assuming" that I had to teach my first lesson. I was psyched and ready to go. I went down to my designated room and went through about 2 dry runs to see how much time it took. 9:15 ok I have 20 minutes before my first class in Japan. 9:20 maybe I should take this moment to do some meditating (nap) before I need to explain my life for the next 4 hours. 9:27 What the hell was that sound!? 9:30 ok 5 minutes to go palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, theirs vom... not that again. 9:35 ok any minute now 33 sixth graders will come into contact. 9:38 ok they're runing late. That's ok they are all on the third floor. 9:40 maybe the teacher forgot. 9:45 ok can a teacher be 10 minutes late? 9:48 screw this I'm going back up to the staff room.

So I walk into the staff room and the teacher that was supposed to come down is chillin' looking for her materials causally. " I say in perfect broken English " We have class today yes?" Perplexed expressions is all I get. Then in perfect broken japanese "kyoo wa lesson ga aru?" The perplexed face turns into surprised face. She runs to her desk and flings out her folder and points to the date of the first lesson. ITS SAYS SEPTEMBER 6!! What the hell is today then?!?! Oh yeah stupid me the dumbass English teacher is ghiving everyone in the office a heart attack. Then with a few conversations in broken english and japanese and fake laughing the confusion dies...

I was never meant to work today. Well I had to come into work but no actual working. Odd.... So here I am trying to look busy in an empty office with just a few people (VP. Curriculum Coordinator) What will I do today? More blogging? Zone off? Think about deep thoughts of the universe and why we're here? Pronbably zone...

BREAK IT DOWN!
