Tired as hell

I didn't get home till late last night, and I had a bunch of things to do today too. I decided to switch my shower schedule to take in the morning instead of at night, since it's colder in the morning than at night. But I was tired from all the walking I did at Disneyland and then having to walk home too. I didn't have much of a dinner, which was ok since I had a lot of everything else while I was at Disneyland.

Then I went to FedEx to mail off my digital camera to my little sister who has been begging me to send it since September. It was difficult to locate FedEx. It's located in a part of the city that's uncharted. You really can't look on a map and find it. Only people who know what's there can even get on the little pennisula. I didn't know it existed till I went there today. It's in a business district. It took about 1.5 hours to get there and take care of everything and find my way back out. It was a simple process, but it's still a lot of trouble to do since it's in an isolated area. But I took care of it, so I'm happy.

Then I went to work. I didn't realize when I was calculating the time when to wake up and get ready to leave my house that school started for me at 1:20pm. I had thought it started at 12:40pm. But that was last week since last week was only 40 minute classes. This week was regular, so I arrived to school an hour before I needed to be there. Which wouldn't normally be bad, but I was sleepy and tired. That's not a good thing when you're at work.

Class wasn't that bad or great either. It was the 7th grade class that has members in the English club. But the students were already on vacation, they didn't pay attention and did little to care about what was going on. We played Christmas bingo and did a word scramble. They were surprisingly good at that too. They solved it pretty quick. At the end of class though, most students weren't paying attention anymore. But it's ok since CP planned the lesson around that.
After that I sat in the office for a little bit. Actually a few hours little bit. I didn't end up leaving till 5pm. But I did get a free ticket to go to Shin-Yokohama for the Teachers trip to Osaka, and more information about the trip. And information for the school event tomorrow and Saturday. So not all was wasted. I talked to the teacher in front of me about the TV show we were supposed to watch, but she didn't. I worked with another teacher to finish up our plan for the 12th grade electives, and then helped another teacher edit her paper she was doing. So it was a productive day after all.

But the purpose of me leaving early wasn't actually so I could go home and sleep, since I'm still not sleeping at it's quarter past 11pm. It was to get myself a new digital camera. I went back to Yokohama station and to Yodabashi camera and bought one. I bought the Casio Exilim Z-55. It's the latest that Casio offers. It's not bad, but way too much for what I bought. I paid about $600 for it, but I needed to quick to get some pictures of the event this weekend and the teacher's trip next week. So I took the bullet and paid for it. I mean that's the price with a 512 mb memory card too. But still it's too much for a grab and go camera. Here's the link for the camera I bought http://www.bluetin.com/digital_cameras/casio_cameras/casio_exilim_z50-z55.html It's got a huge screen for easy viewing, and one of the best batteries on the market for a long life. That's one of the major reasons why I bought this one. It's not the prettiest, and the buttons are a little small, but it's functionally better I think. That counts for a lot for me. On the way home, I grabbed a bite to eat a a restaurant at Hongodai station.

It's something I see everyday going to work, and looks good. So I decided to try it. I'm more confident with trying new things and toughing it with the Japanese. I ordered Chashuu Ramen. It was pretty good and reminded me of a Chinese dish. And as a consellation prize I won a tissue box. Interesting mix of things, but whatever, it's nice. That leads me to now, me writing my entry and listening to Kiroro.
