HAHAha

Oh wow. Just took my temperature and I gots a fever by Japanese standards, but I'm going into work. Don't wanna go to the hospital even though I probably should...dang it summer cold! Dang it!!

I got some medicine today. I took my temperature this morning (since the nurse lent me the thermometer from the staff room) and had a temperature of 38.1C, which is when they become rather worried, so I decided it was best to get some despite my lack of liking medicine. Okay, I'll be honest. I rather enjoy the medicine that lays you out for hours on end. That medicine I can get down with. Most others, I'm not a fan of. But, the medicine is working. I feel a lot better and my head doesn't throb. That is a plus. Non-throbbing body parts are a good way to go.

My keeper came over today with food. It was good times. We talked about bad times for some of the students. The food was good. The discussion perhaps wasn't the best. But we all know that life will teach the lessons that must be learned. Perhaps too late, but that is how things go. Life has a way of working itself out.

You know what I love? When elementary school students ask me which of a group of 2-4 students are my type. It's rather surreal and one of those questions which you cannot answer...at all. ...until you make it into a joke. ...which only happens half the time.

The nurse from my school, one of my homies, yo, just called and invited me out to dinner. I tried to refuse, but I don't have the art-form of that down yet in which it leaves me without a date.

AND, I just snotted out part of my brain I think. I am not even kidding. Holy crap. I can breathe through my nose though <3

The results are in...

Apparently lack of sleep + elementary school + weakened immune system from traveling results in me getting REALLY EFFING SICK. We know that now body, let's not do this again.
Today, I attempted to take byoukyuu, sick leave. Whether it turned into sick leave or into vacation times I'm not sure...'cause I didn't go into school because I am sick. I spent most of my day at home. I have little in the way of stores of food at my place except for pasta and rice, so I did have to leave to get food. I attempted to make a beef stew thing which didn't turn out at all like that 'cause they don't have the right kind of meat and I gave up 'cause I didn't feel like making it. I did end up making a soup like thing, so it was good times. Passed out a couple of times. That was fun too. Took a bath with a "Full Alchemist"-whatever fizzy ball. That was good times too. The character toy in it watched me bath. It's cool; he's my homie. These fever patch things are great. I wonder if I can stick them in the freezer? I'm going to go try that.

Thank goodness for spell check <3

I forgot that a kid asked me if I had a girlfriend yesterday...the 23rd. He'd misspoken, but it was good times. He was speaking Japanese. I can't judge though. I do that all the time too.

Had elementary school again today. This time at Yanagiu. I go there again on Thursday...I think. I'm pretty sure I do. I have to make a crap-ton of business card like things for it. That kinda sucks 'cause I haven't done any of them. Okay, I've done about 10, but that's not enough for even one class. I gotsta get to work on that.

I finished-ish on picture for MoD. The Lara one. The other two are in varying states of not-done-ness.

This week seems to be turning out to be an experiment week...'how long can 雪莉 (that's me) survive on less that 5 hours of sleep and still be okay with elementary school students and outwit 13-15 year old boys without falling over from lack of neural stimulus' is the experiment I think. It's now past 10, and I ain't gonna be goin' to bed for awhile. I was doggedly tired this afternoon, but now I'm wired. And, no, I didn't just drink coffee. The last drink I had was a vodka coke about 2 hours ago.

My sticking plaster smells like peanut butter. I haven't eaten peanut cream (since they have no peanut butter here except in foreign goods stores) in probably over a month. I had it last with school lunch...whenever that was. Weird, eh? I wonder what's up with that. Maybe it's a sign that I should take it off...Naw. That ain't gonna fly wit' me. It's staying...until it or my finger falls off. Whichever happens first.

Today was Nishi Nakada ES. It was okay. ALL ENGLISH ALL DAY IN CLASS. It was great. I got to make fun of one teacher to her face. If she's going to treat me like a retarded 3 year old, that is what I shall do from now on. I'm too old for this crap.

I also found out that I'm going to Yanagiu tomorrow. That'll be fun. I'm not cool with missing my school damn near everyday this week. I got today, tomorrow, and Thursday. It's uncool, dudes. Uncool.

Been working on the MoD pictures. I'll hopefully be able to finish them to be able to ship them off this weekend. ...seeing as they are due by the end of this month and mine have a lot further to go than most. Oh well. They'll hopefully be done...soon.

Fighting class was nice. I talked to some different people in class today. Normally I'm not that social, but I was okay today. I'm hoping to become a little more as time goes by.

My face is really itchy. I wonder why? Sweat? Dry skin? Nerves? Some unknown disease? Potatoes?
