I went to the gym today. It was good. Boxercise was amazing. I know why I always feel like I don’t want to go, but I do always like it…even if I am sore the next day. Or, maybe, perhaps because I am sore the next day? It’s a puzzle.
It was a bad day for interpersonal communication. I really think my Japanese is getting worse and worse. It sucks. It also sucks that my Japanese will never be as good as my English. Which is pathetic since my English sucks. Sucks real bad. Case in point.
I was thinking of going back home for a little in July. It seemed like a good idea. Hang out with my family, get clothes and shoes that fit, things like that. But, I don’t think I can deal with the airports. I remember the heavy feelings I got last time I was at the airport waiting for the flight out. It really was bad. It made my heart hurt. Not like a heart attack, but like a heavy squeezing feeling on it. I’m not 100% sure why or anything like that, but it has happened almost all the times. I think the only time it didn’t happen was when I first came to Japan all those years ago. At least I don’t think it happened. It could have happened but I was too worried about the flight. So, needless to say, I’m not sure if I will go home or not come July/June. It’d be nice, but I’m not sure yet. Well, I’m guessing it would be nice. Obviously I won’t know until it’s happening if it’s nice or not.

Sometimes I am reminded of the humor that life can sometimes present. One of the female teachers has a sweatshirt on that says “Beach Line. The 70’s style reminds me of my boyhood on the beach”. It’s a good sweatshirt; good one indeed. It sums up my feelings of the 70’s rather well; rather well indeed.
My back is horrendously sore today. But that’s okay; boxercise is tomorrow, and that should work out the kinks. Or kill me. Either, or. Perhaps both if it’s a hard enough lesson. Probably not that last one though.
I went with my keeper to the bank today. It was an enjoyable thing. She ‘helped’ me study kanji. I said, “Why am I so dumb?” She replied with, “It’s because you are American, and not Japanese.” It wasn’t meant like that, but I thought it was pretty darn good. She was talking about the kanji, but taken out of context that is an awesome statement.

Today we learnt who was going and who was staying at my school. There are a few teachers who I will miss seeing about, but overall we didn’t lose many…maybe 8 or so. Granted, that is almost a seventh of the staff, but it’s not too bad. We lost one English teacher, and got two in return. It does sadden me, but I know next year it’ll be a lot worse.
I’m rather sore today, especially my back. Go figure.
The ending ceremony was today. I was torn between wanting it to end, and wanting it to last longer. But, this semester is over, and a new one will begin…in about two weeks. So, from tomorrow is about 2 weeks of not much to do, but that is okay. Maybe I can speak with teachers about plans for next year once they know what grade they will be teaching.

I did indeed go to the gym. It was a-mazing.
...I'm sore already... Tomorrow is gonna kill me. Oh well. It's a fun death.
I somehow managed to pull a neck muscle last night. I don't know what I did, but I did it well. It killed me when we were doing the 'up in the air leg' crunches. I wonder what I did...? It's only on the right side.
AND, my sport bra's too big. As is the shirt. I guess these should be good things, but they make all the jumping a pain.
If you get bruises easily, does it mean you need more vitamin C or potassium? ...or vitamin P, perhaps?
And, I've decided to go on a diet and budget myself more closely than I have been. Yeah for more work for myself!! Yeah!!

Today was the last day of classes for this year. It kinda rocked, although it will be sad to see all the classes broken up and split into new ones. I had just gotten the hang of some of them...we had bonded as a class, and had jokes, and what not. Now, it'll all be had to made again from scratch. AND, that means that I go back to having nothing to do all day long except study, and (if I have my computer) do computery things. Went to three classes today. They were fun. I think I had more fun than learning/teaching, but it's okay 'cause I got stabbed.
...with a pencil in my hand. It was my fault 'cause I tried to grab a student (as in save) before they fell out of their seat, but instead, I just got stabbed in the hand. Which is cool and all...just a little...stabby. I also got tickle-attacked. I love the students, I do. Even though they may be out to get me one day...
Also talked to some of the boys (first) about who they like 'cause it somehow got to that subject (I was stabbed during this altercation...because it might as well be one with how they were acting). Needless to say, they asked "Do you have a boyfriend?" which was answered by "No." Which, amazingly enough lead to "Even though your so beautiful," to which I laughed my posterior off at for a good minute. I don't think they understood that it was the statement that made me laugh, and not the boy...'cause the one sitting behind him said 'don't mind.' Poor boy. Oh well, I know who he likes now. I wield the power. ...okay, I wield nothing other than a little bit of lead in my palm. It was a good talk. About three fights almost broke out when they were telling me about it, since, obviously, no one wants others to know about that sort of thing unless they are dating, or they don't care. Either way, it was an awesome class.
Now, I am going to go to boxercise tonight. I am. If I don't, I want all of you to send me nasty emails calling me names like 'Fattie,' 'Jumbo-chan,' 'Rolls McGie,' and whatever else you fancy. Heck, you can do it anyway if you'd like. I'm not particular.

Yesterday (for it was yesterday) was a party for my friends birth. It was a plentiful amount of fun. There was a cheap nomi, and a boosting of men onto shoulders (namely one man) before ramen, and a boosting of a female after. Got plenty of people taking pictures of the procession of foreigners going down the road stacked like two things can be stacked. It was rather enjoyable.
Oh, and that guy who I thought I was never going to be messaged by again messaged me again. It was weird. And he did it again today. What up with that?

It's not really strange but...
I think my toe nail might fall off.
Which leads me to assume that it's badly bruised, which is why it's been various shades of purple, blue, and yellowish-green since January 1st.
Maybe my other one will fall off too...?
