Training Day

(No I have not seen the movie)

T5B: 1) I got to message Jerod a little today. 2) Training was decent. 3) My bathroom is clean. 4) I get to see my Deaf kids tomorrow. 5) No one stayed at my place (which was going to be potentially problematic since I'm working tomorrow).

basal temp: 36.37

Morning:
- woke up way too early with way too little sleep
- Limor and GG (Geoffrey) arrived at my place before I was ready
- we walked to the bank/post office
- we went to help set up (it was already done)
- training

Notes: --

Afternoon:
- lunch
- more training
- training finishes
- I'm invited to a Halloween party

Notes: Training was better than any of the others I have attended but I still felt a large lack of helpfulness. I wrote down seven words. So at least there was that little bit of help! Also it didn't feel like it was ALL DAY except that I was anxious to be able to message Jerod before he went to bed. As we were leaving, LaToya, a Jamaican girl who lives in Morioka, invited me to a Halloween party tomorrow night. I'm feeling quite torn about the whole thing. I love Halloween and I want to do something special, HOWEVER, I have no costume to wear, I don't drink, I don't know the local teachers that well (I don't have much in common with any of them), and I'm worried there will be a cover charge. Oh also I only vaguely know where this place is. Oh AND I have my period, and two more typhoons are on their way. So I guess there is a VERY small chance I will show up but ... not feeling it. :/ I'd rather be alone in my apartment than alone in a crowd. The latter is much lonelier to me. -- So I learned in training that even posting pictures of my school can be grounds for termination. :/ Sheesh. I gotta go back and delete all those pictures (hope you have seen them already!). I was in a panic thinking I'd be fired before I could even get home to erase them. Then I got a migraine during the second half of training... ya feeling crappy (and my cramps were SO awful today). -- Also as I was leaving they wanted to take my picture. I wanted to cry. Seriously!? I have a migraine, I feel fat (period does that to me), and I'm so exhausted. I couldn't even smile. I probably look like I'm about to cry in the picture .. and I was. I almost cried before the training started. Sheesh what a day. I survived though! And I gleaned seven words!

Evening:
- message Jerod
- get home, SURPRISE!
- eat dinner, pill #2
- eat some Halloween treats
- DANG IT! I had a birthday gift for Limor and totally forgot to give it to her DAH!!!

Notes: I was wracking my brain but can't think of a funny story from today. Sorry. :/ So ya two more typhoons headed this way... OH! And the surprise I got? The elders Halloween-ed my door! It's SO great! I left it all but their picture. :) I got pics (below). Love you all! XOXO, A

My door :)
With the flash
Pretty sure this is Elder Norawong because he busted a gut when I said something similar to him the first time

Aww! E' Akagi, E' Temanahamo, E' Norawong - you can see part of E' Temanahamo's note to me (in French above :D)

  1. Well, at least you got Halloween'd. I wouldn't worry too much about the school pictures. There aren't that many and you have time to take them down and apologize. You're like me - so worried about obeying the rules that you sometimes make yourself a little crazy. Skip the party, stay home and get some rest. Be safe. I love you.

    1. Ha! It took me AN HOUR AND A HALF to find and take them all down. Sheesh! Still, love you!
