Today I rode my bike to work – it was very exciting. It’s much faster to ride to Akashikita than to walk, even though it’s slightly uphill. Today was a good day at work – lots of teachers talked to me, and I got paid in cash! 63,000 yen! WOOHOO! I’ve paid my first rent, and ate the supplied bento for lunch. I also supervised a test and FORGOT TO TAKE THE TESTS OFF THE KIDS AT THE END. I handed them out the answer cards and let them go. I am such an idiot. Yokoi-sensei had to make an announcement over the PA for all the kids to bring their tests back, and they had graded them (honestly), not cheated and actually completed everything. This is definitely bizarro land. I bought cheap sashimi and okonomiyaki at the CO-OP and then went on my maiden voyage to Okubo station – it’s so close! I walked around Vivre and aimlessly wandered a little, and then came back here to the house to wait for Sam to call. He’ll be here any minute, according to my well-calculated calculations. Have just been hanging out and talking to Mum on the phone and watching Veronica Mars since. Oh, I ate a DELICIOUS icecream. It was like Vienetta in a cone. I shit you not, dear diary. Poetry in frozen motion.
OK, Sam here! See?
Food highlight of the day: The supplied teacher bento was super tasty! For 400 yen, I think I’ll be eating a lot of these. But the 880 yen sashimi platters that I picked up for 200 yen each for dinner were pretty spectacular as well.
