O....M.......Goodness...... Today was a bit of a slow day. I ended up sleeping till almost 11...I am still shattered mind you. I have no idea why I am so tired all of sudden...It actually feels like I could sleep a few days straight. We then received a notice from David that our voice recording talents were not needed for tomorrow..which made everyone go "oh another free day to do something!" I get a call about an hour later from David saying "oh by the way we have an assignment just for you". Basically I am being sent out to Numazu which is in Shizuoka Prefecture, and about 50minutes train ride from Tokyo. It's south of Tokyo and by the beach! I am replacing another ALT who had to fly back home due to some family emergency...So I get to teach in 2 elementary schools for a week, until she is back, starting Friday......going over there tomorrow....arrrrghhh! It's really cool! But I am also quite scared...all these paranoid thoughts are running through my head..along the lines of "what if I mess up big time?". So yeeeeeaaaaah...that's the biggest news really. Apart from all the stress of having to sort out luggage sending and stuff,the rest of the day was OK. We went to the office for the Japanese lesson. It was a little simple again because all the newbies joined us..so we obviously needed to go over the beginners stuff again. But it was cool, I got to learn some phrases which I did not know before. We then decided to all go together to some Izakaya in Shinjuku to kind of just hang out and celebrate. Once we got there though, it was a little bit of a mission finding a place and making decisions. By that point I was so hungry that I was ready to give up. When Anthony said he was going to go back, I grabbed that opportunity and so a few of us went back. It took a while to find the stupid station again. There was actually a tiny first glimpse in to what it might be like once I get out of Tokyo in to an area with no English signs...it was damn scary. 2 Onigiris, a yoghurt and some juice later everything was OK again. Did you know that increase in oestrogen levels actually lower the sugar levels, and that's why there is such a chocolate/sugar craving just before the period for girls? I did not know this!!! I am telling you, all the important things about the female I have learnt from guys...odd huh? Well that was the interesting fact of the day. I am going to pack and get ready to go to a new place altogether....aaaaaah!
Right off to receive a whole lot of chocolate now.
