i forgot to mention that they had a singing contest a while ago. the title of which sounded something like "gasho konkuru" well there i go butchering Japanese, though i'm not sure what it means anyways. anyways, it was an interesting singing event, and yes, singing, i've found, is a huge thing in Japan. no wonder they're huge fans of karaoke. one thing to note though, it seems they take the competition quite seriously, as several girls ended up in tears because they didn't win any place. i do know how it feels, so i suppose i do sympathize. and of course, i too, take singing very seriously. still it surprised me, to be honest.
what else have i left out? after several language fails i managed to get everything settle, bank account, insurance and visa, yay :) things have finally settled into a decent rhythm.
some random notes, as i tend to do, are one: i'm kind of annoyed at the frequent mistakes people are making regarding lesson plans and schedules. seriously, if they screw up, it's totally unfair to blame me for being unprepared. just saying. just like, if they don't let me plan anything for the lessons, don't criticize me for not being busy.
two: something really random happened to me today. i thought i lost my bike. and thought it was both funny and bizzare as well as a bit unnerving. my first thought was that a student had by coincidence the same locks on their bikes and mistook mine for theirs. in any case, i'm glad i checked the two bikes that were by the shoe cubbies, because lo and behold there was my bike. i was told that some teachers probably mistook it for students, but Why MY bike??? out of the the hundreds that are lined up?...that's pretty effin random...and now that i think about it, my human mind wants to be suspicious. but oh well, nothing i can do now. continuing on that note though, i also wondered how they got it there since the locks were on there. then i realized they probably carried. then i wondered, why the hell they took that much effort to do so....again suspicions. there we go with my the "world is out to get me" way of thinking. yay, to join 99% of the population. (in america) :P
three: yay. it's not a no anymore...*hopes*
four: i'm a really terrible person some times...i think you've started to realize that too. i'm for that, even if i won't take back my words, i Am sorry that deep down i do have a shitty personality... :(
five: i'm really glad i could learn the guitar again, although it's as much of a physical pain as i remember (guess i'm just that weak) and it'll def take quite a bit of practice, tho most of its coming back pretty easily. it'd be nice if my dream did come true. i'd really like to sing and play. :) but for now, i just gotta make sure i'm at least decently prepared for the first concert (aka the first step lol).
not many of the girls seem to practice, but then again they know their instruments very well, so they seemed to learn pretty quickly...in any case, catchy songs. maybe i'll see if i can also get the tabs for the other songs too. :)
six: yay for the weekend coming so soon, i do love holidays in the middle of my week lol.
..i'm gonna stop counting. :P some even more random things that have been on my mind. jerks with too much arrogance. i hate. ppl who i believe are good ppl who act jerk-ish. i hate.
mom's been asking about my plans when i go back...not incredibly jumping at the chance to tell her what i'm considering..i kinda wanna make sure i can make it work out first. now that i believe in j-chan, i think i'd be ready to face it and do what it takes :)
i've been meaning to take pics of the city...and i keep forgetting. maybe this weekend- if it doesn't rain on me... -_-' itd be nice to get some pics before the city turns all wintery...
mah japanese = still sucks.
i think i was invited to go to dinner by the students..but knowing the policy i wasn't sure what to say, so i think i just came off as confused and unfortunately that hindered me asking for more details x_x . i hope i get asked again though...or i might just ask the teacher...which is awkward enough in itself.
i really ought to get more wintery clothes...but good luck to me trying to find more stuff that fits, as i can't afford anything really from the nicer jusco stores, and i'm pretty sure i exhausted all possibility at the 2nd hand stores...gah. that deserves another x_x. oh well, such is life.
and i guess that wraps it up for now. yay for this blog hanging by a thread...
