Tired but happy

So I got a new student today! He works for the number 1 company in the world that makes glass. I dunno how that goes but after he told me stuff about himself and what he wanted to learn, he asked me to name my price! NYAAAAAAA. In the website, I wrote that I charge 1,500 yen an hour. But then I remember Mae telling me that the normal rate is 3,000 yen. But then I didn’t know what to do. So I just made it 2,000 yen — the same rate as Tatsuya. I just feel guilty that I mostly just listen to them speak English. Correct their grammar here and there. And that’s it. 

I think I should’ve charged more XD Made it 2,500 or something! Oh well! 

And remember I charge only 500 yen for a trial lesson? Well, he paid me 3,000 yen for an hour and a half of just talking. Hee. I was telling him that it was all right — he only had to pay me 500 yen. But he told me that he earned a lot from his job and that it was nothing. EEP. 

Okay. I need to study now! Ta-ta! 

Interview galore

I had my second interview for Gaba this afternoon! Gaba is this English school in Japan. English teacher wannabe. Hee. Anyway, the guy said that I did well on my first interview. So this time, he was asking me general questions about myself. And then he went on to give me possible scenarios with students — “What would you do if…” — that sort of thing.

We’re having our exam on Monday! Ganbarimasu!

Nyawr

I’ve been late. Late for classes. Which is so like me. Meh. I missed almost half of yesterday’s class. The prof dismissed so early that I wasn’t there for half the discussion. If this continues, I’m going to start getting bad grades. Which is bad because I came here to study. 

Homework is starting to pile up too. Plus, the lessons are slowly becoming harder. Nyaaaaaawr. 

I’ve got a second interview for this job that I applied for. I do hope I get it. 

Last Wednesday…

Okay. So our professor invited this kid who studied for a year in Thailand or something to talk to us about how being a Japanese student is. So he was showing us charts and stuff of his expenditures. Like how much a part-time job usually pays, and what a student usually pays for in school and et cetera?

Pretty interesting. He looked like a nice guy. But it wasn’t a really lively discussion (for me) since he doesn’t really speak English well (well, the class is supposed to be in Japanese anyway. Lol).

The prof actually thought that I was really sleepy. 

I should update my blog more often, huh! 

P.S. I wasn’t listening to my culture class AT ALL today.

Not feeling it

We’re going on a field trip tomorrow. It’s an overnight thing. It’s at Mie Prefecture. We’re gonna be hitting a Ninja school first and then a lot of different places. Nyawr. I wanna curl up in bed and finish reading all the books I brought with me. That, or start studying Biology — just because I want to. I have 10 units of Bio left when I go back. Hmm.

Mint Car

I think I need to go to the convenience store soon. I need to deposit some moolah to my bank account. I just got billed for internet and electricity for last month. 6k+ yen — bye bye! 

I’m hungry.

Btw

I bought a bicycle recently. It’s so I can get out and about school. That way, I can save money in the long run. Think of it as an investment. 

I hope I don’t regret it though! 

Off to bed I go! 

It’s kinda sad

For the first time throughout my stay here, I heard of someone being homesick. No, not you! I know you’re not homesick — you’re just bored. It’s sad when you know that people should care more and they don’t. It’s sad how actions are misread, sometimes. 

Teehee.

End emo here.

There’s a group of Filipino students from Ateneo who got here yesterday on a 2-week study tour. I knew beforehand that they were coming — and I saw Jally’s name in the list! 

So…

I FINALLY SAW JALLY! And OMG! RIZZA WAS WITH THEM! She was so shocked to see me! Alex told her I’d be in Nagoya but what are the chances of actually seeing each other! Huzzah! AND THEN — Denise came forward and went, “Hi! I’m Denise, Lynsley’s friend — she ALWAYS talks about you!” (Note: Hey Lyns! I love you too ;] Hee) 

AND I GOT CHOCOLATES. And some clothes! And candies! A notebook, letter, and some HELLO KITTY candies from Lynsley!

Too bad I had classes the whole day! But lo and behold — I was able to have dinner with the Filipinos! Arvi tagged along — he wanted to get in touch with his Filipino side. 

Which was sooooooooo funny since Satake sensei totally tricked him into thinking that he’s a Filipino and then ended up having to show Arvi his ID that shows that he’s a professor at NGU. LOLOLOL. 

And then there was meeting a second Matt from Alaska — Dustin’s friend.

And then there was realizing that my external HD was okay all along! 

I’m rambling! My thoughts are all over the place!

I shared the candies and chocolates I got, btw. That way, I won’t get fat. Teehee. Oh! And Gaba totally called me up in the afternoon. Yay. Chance at getting a part-time job! Wish me luck!

P.S. Am I really such a kid? People keep on telling me that. 

I need to pee

I feel soooo productive today. I earned some moolah in the morning, went to the gym and practically killed myself running, bought some food, and then cleaned my room! I can totally let people in now. I couldn’t before — it looked like a war site. Nyawr. 

I love that it’s such a warm night. Downside though — I didn’t do my homework yet :s 

Tomorrow, I’m gonna see Jally! :] And get some new stuff from the Phils. YAY.

God if you’re listening would you have a message sent?

I’ve never consistently had long nails — the same way I don’t always wear nail polish. But doing nothing bores me. So when I have nothing to do, I change my nail color. 

Ueda isn’t particularly motivating. Silly orientation about next week’s field trip — it took up most of my lunch break. 

I’m hungry.
