Day 184 in Japan - Not a Shiny Happy Day

After a decent week last week, Shimizu returned to it's usual poor form today - the last class ended with a boy trying to wrestle me for a textbook. I ended up scratching him when he tried to rip it out of my hands, and I made him stay after class to apologise to me for a full 10 minutes. He was laughing the whole way through it, and I wanted to punch him in his stupid face. But I didn't (although it made me not at all sorry that he got scratched). Otherwise it was the usual pain of unhelpful teachers, silent students and trying to keep on top of the lesson planning for the next few weeks. Yippers.

To make my day just a bit worse, Fletch found out today that he 99% can't come to Japan this week. I have been really looking forward to seeing him on Thursday, but his visa hasn't come through in time, so unless it miraculously appears, he won't be making his flight.

To make myself feel better, I bought a salad on the way home, and spent my evening finishing reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in a hot bath. I finally finished it up at about 1:45, which is WAY too late for a school night, but I regret nothing.

Food Highlight of the Day: Ham.
