After work, I headed for my school which is just a few stations away, but thanks to a 'jinshinjiko', the trains were delayed. I was tired, it was almost 9:00, it was freezing cold, and my shoulders hurt from all the slouching and the shivering I do, so I REALLY wanted to just cancel my lesson and head back home, have a glass of wine and watch Life of Pi (again) or something. But I didn't!! Extra points for me!
I got to school just 10 minutes late, and I learned how to paint nails with pearl nail polish. All you ladies out there know how difficult it is to paint your nails with pearl nail polish and make it look even. Yeah. So, I spent two hours trying to get that 'even look', and it was quite the annoying thing! Argh!! While hunched over my table, painting and painting, my teacher and I had a chat about me and my family. Yes, my family is really big. Yes, we all speak English. Yes, we're all from Mom. Yes, my eldest brother has 4 kids. No, I don't want twelve kids myself.
On my way out, I helped out some of the salon workers who were struggling with a British customer who was on vaca in Japan. I translated and chit-chatted with the customer, and problem was solved. The salon workers were just staring at me with this, 'annta wa nanimono desuka? Maji sugo!!' look on their faces. It was the first time EVER for someone to liken me to a god.
I got home past mid-night, and had some wine with my sister. I then woke up a friend with one of those annoying, 'I'm calling cuz I wanted to talk to you, see how you are, you know... yeah, I know, it's way past mid-night....blah blah blah' phone calls.
I slept at around 3:00 am.
Why am I so tired today? Argh!
