aideBut before that...
ARASHI on MAY 31st!!
Fuck my computer is being a fucking righteous whore right now and pseudo-freezing up on me as I try and fangirl. What gives? I'm still in shock about getting tickets, I hadn't really expected to get them to be honest. I'm kind of glad it's not Tokyo Dome because that places is fucking massive (not that Nagoya Dome isn't, but it's Tokyo Dome). I have to spend more money on bus tickets and to get there and back, but it'll be a fun road trip with Chelsea and we'll crash at Yvonne's place. I'm pissed off at the stupid bus company because they won't let me order tickets online so I have to call them tomorrow. But at least then I can pay cash at Family Mart and not risk having my visa rejected because it's expired.
Went with Amanda to the IES head office to sign my contract today. Mr Oishi fucking yaked for an hour reading us out contract which, just like the last time, was totally unnecessary. He said a few people were getting raises to reward their high performance but I'm exempt because I only worked since December. Fuck that! They're also splitting the year into two 6-month contract terms in case people want to bow out half way through or get sacked. Works in my favour when I plan on leaving Japan in years time. The pay is distributed a bit differently this year and we have all of August off. What am I going to do with myself?? It would be a sweet time for traveling, but fucking expensive because everyone is off. I might look at going back to Canada for a bit, but I doubt I'll be able to afford that. They also told me (finally) that I'm back at Toyo Chu and Dai Ni Shou. Excellent! I'll also be at elementary school once a week for sure. They want us to interact with the kids more, like participate in classes with them (like art, music, etc). I'm so excited! I want to learn shoudo (calligraphy) so I can do it with CUTE CHILDRENS!!! I'm excited to go back to work. :)
Afterwards we went to Azabu-juban and had a late lunch/early dinner at 4pm at La Boheme, this kitchy Italian restaurant. It was super delicious but I was hungry again by 7pm. Amanda and Nikki went there for lunch yesterday and had a set lunch for about 1000yen which included a glass of white wine. Ours wasn't that cheap, lunch set ends by 2pm, but it was so delicious and the waiter spoke English. Not that I can't handle myself in Japanese, but its nice not to have to try so hard sometimes. Will definitely have to go back and try that.
I'm still reeling... I just can't believe it. :D :D I'm going to post on my family blog about it even though they have no idea about Arashi after restarting this beast.
