Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

4th Graders are all a bunch of Narcs...

Ugh...Lunch!! I think it is my arch-nemisis. Everyday there is a new battle...The best days are edible, but usually brimming over with carbs...For instance, meat spaghetti (usually with peas), a giant hoagie roll, and a side of rice...pretty overwhelming, but definatly edible. 70% of the days bring fish...the other 30% are fatty pork, chicken, or beef(?). I know, I bitch about this all the time...i can't help it and its my blog, so i can write about whatever is on my mind.
Today was a giant bowl of rice and chestnuts, bland soup with tofu and fish cake, cabbage with tiny fish and vinegar, and a fish (minus head, but with tail and skin). Somehow, i managed to eat everything (okay not the fish tail and the bones), except the whole bowl of rice...I mean come on, you can only eat so much rice....So I go to hide the bowl at the bottom of the pile of bowls (after squashing the rice remains to make them as tiny as possible)...one of the kids catches me doing this and YELLS..."Sensei...Lani sensei isn't eating her food!!!" Okay it was in Japanese, but that is pretty much the translation of it...so alas i get busted...but guess what...There is not way I am going to force myself to eat this shit....so basically the other teacher shows me a place where i can take my food to throw it out whenever I don't feel like eating everything..which is great...but I can't believe that kid...What's the big deal?? What on earth does he gain by narc-ing me out?? Grrrrrr...I'm rolling my eyes.

Today was just one of those days...I spent 65% of it doped up on cold/sinus meds...trying not to fall asleep in my classes...then I get a flat on my bike...I've never had a flat tire on a bike....it makes a really strange sound when you try to ride on it. Then I came home and made myself dinner in the "microwave oven" ... which I'd like to state for the record is not really a microwave...its more like a toaster oven with a lot of extra features. Anyhow, i'm making quesadilla's an the thing starts SHOOTING out sparks...So I decided to forget about dinner, and just go to bed, start my day fresh tomorrow....hopefully there won't be any bad foods, flat tires, or electrical fires. I do however have a visit to the police station to look forward to...as my accident from over a month ago, is still not over...I must meet up with the victim tomorrow, and put on a good face....
