aideNihon de wa, sore wa meiwaku desu yo! Oji-san! In Japan, that's troublesome, gramps!
Fuck... I am baffled by Japanese people sometimes. I ran into one of the teachers from Daini elementary at Edogawadai station after teaching Keigo today. She was waving to me as I came down the stairs and it took a few seconds to place her face. She's one of the nice ones who joins in and "learns English" too when I go to her class. :D She does grade... 5 I think? Anyway. We were chatting about our vacations, she went to Guam and I told her about Kansai. We sat next to this old man who I thought looked a bit passed out whose phone kept ringing on the train. I don't care, personally, but it's not something you see often and it was loud. That was fine... but then he moves across to the other side and fucking is watching me talk to the sensei! My Japanese isn't that terrible, god. And she was pretty much just asking me questions cuz I was sleepy and not really feeling chatty but still. And here I was complaining about not having any meiwaku Japanese stories (except for my crazy neighbour). At least he wasn't leering at me.
Wrote about 50 words at work today. We freaking exhausted again and busy. My free first period was eaten up by a earthquake/firedrill. Although I was smart and brought my book and/or marking to all my classes and read while the teachers did homework review and stuff. Two first year classes tomorrow first thing and it'll be pretty much the same I think. And then a break third but I need to make cards and prep stuff for elementary on Friday. I also told Kaneko-sensei I would make example sentences for the new words because it's painful watching him try and think of stuff on the spot that half the time doesn't make sense or he doesn't bother to explain to the kids. I don't know why he bothers... just go through the words and the definitions. It's not like Nova where they can't use Japanese and you have to explain it with example sentences. So I told him I would do that.
I am so stuffed... Keigo's baachan gave me pears today. One is nearly as big as my head. O_O
