Recap

Another weekend, another post. Last Wednesday, we had the Tobu ALT and JTE seminar in Tatebayashi. It didn't start until 1:10pm so I conveniently didn't go to school that morning. Hey, it takes a long time to travel to Tatebayashi; 4 hours and 50 minutes to be exact. Hehe. The seminar was held at Scott's school which is the nicest school in ALL of Gunma, for sure. It is only 3 years old and doesn't look like the old worn down buildings that make up my school. Their school uses solar power and even has heated floors in some rooms! Ii na. Anyway, Scott's students were exceptionally good and attentive...something that is rare in a Japanese classroom. After the seminar, Mami drove Jeff, Angie and I back to Ota and we met up with others for some yummy-as kaiten sushi. Because none of us wanted to go home to face the reality that we had school the next day, we went to Typhoon for some unneeded dessert and drinks. I ended up calling in sick the next day, anyway. ;)

On Friday, I roamed around AEON with Emily, her friend, Jeff and Pete. I bought my much needed Brita filter which cost a bizillion dollars but there's no way I'd go w/o it at this point, as pipes in my apt are sketchy-as! We went to Ootoya for dinner and dessert. Their portions are HUGE and prices VERY reasonable. I don't know why we don't go there more often. Wait a sec...I may know why. MAYBE it's b/c you overload on food SO much that you can't digest anything for the next two days!! Yes, that's been my problem this weekend: A lack of appetite. I'm afraid I'm gonna a get a notice soon saying I've been kicked out of the over-eaters club.

On Saturday, I trained to Jeff's place for some Veronica Mars. We all need some VM in our lives. It has been SO long since we last watched VM that we got SO confused as to what was happening on the show! Sad. That, or we're just stupid. After VM, Jeff and I biked to Co-op and Ministop for some drinks and munchies for game night at Em's. I almost fell off his bike and had trouble mounting on multiple times b/c I am too short for it. Sad. We met up with Sean and Jenny on the train and walked to Em's apt together. Tim and Doris were already there and Em had dinner waiting for us! Thanks, Em!! Dinner was oishiiyo! We decided to start off game night by playing Taboo. Jeff, Jenny and I were on one team and Sean, Emily, Tim and Doris were on another. It was a lot of fun!! I think my favorite card was when Jeff said something like, "This guy fell off the dead animal we ate at Gen!" The answer: Christopher Reeve.

Thought of the day:

I owe you one.
