Totemo totemo tsukareta. It has been a busy, tiring weekend for me. Starting from Thursday late night, I went to the gym with some friends and did some workout and played badmintion from 11pm - 1am. It has been ages since I've done any sort of sports, so by the time I woke up the next morning, I had muscle aches. It didn't help that I had to wake up early for a Japanese quiz. Later in the noon, I had to work from 12-3pm. Then, an hour later at 4pm, I went out again with a friend to attend a Japanese Speech Contest. The ceremony was for about 3 hours. It was amazing how those 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students speak fluent Japanese. Though I don't understand most of what they're saying since I am still a first year student, the talent amazed me. I aim to be among them one day. My favorite contestant, a 3rd year student, with speech title "Nihonjin no Watashi" won the 1st place for his category so I was delighted. His encounter of being half American half Japanese and how his friends kept asking him whether he's a Japanese when he is truly an American and how him in the future will identify himself as a Japanese is interesting. Kinda remind me of my own situation where some people always mistaken me as a Chinese or a Hispanic.
After the contest, my friends and I went straight away to watch Pride and Prejudice play at the university theater. It turned out that the play lasted for 3 hours! It was enjoyable and funny but I could've enjoyed it more if I wasn't so tired and hungry at that time. With "perut kosong", we headed straight to Buffalo Wings at 11pm for late dinner. Met Hayashi and Hasegawa and a whole group of other Japanese senseis there. *Side note: Hasegawa has somewhat become hotter these days..too bad he's not my sensei anymore, hahaha. Get back home at midnite, feeling very tired.
And today, gotta work from 9am-2.30pm. Phew..long 5 hours with an empty stomach the whole day. I lost all my strength when I got home but since my friend is holding my card, I have to wait for her to get home in order to buy food. That is at 5.30pm. But then, I had to attend the midwest games meeting, which lasted for more than 2 hours, so I have to put off my hunger of not eating the whole day until 8pm. Now, I am REALLY REALLY tired to even study and do my homeworks. Still gotta work tomorrow for another 5-6 hours. Plus, tomorrow is going be a busy shift for all of us at the hotel, so more tiring day. Sheesh..man, I need a rest and time for my drama escapade! |
