My new lil' cousin Julia Rose Jeffers!
Is she not the cutest little thing?! My cousin, Heather, just had little Julia on the 3rd after waiting a week past her due date! Whew! I bet she feels better now! Anyway, I think shes adorable but am still postponing that big life-changing event for a long time, thats for sure!
Anyway, nothing much has happened this week. I had some excellent classes yesterday with a teacher Im not the most fond of. His students are great and wonderfully genki (enthusiastic) even if he does kinda give me the heebie-jeebies! And since I was in a particularly productive mood and my main JTE (jp english teacher) absolutely loved my idea for our next class, I got a lot done and felt I taught really well. When I asked the students to take notes while I was talking so they could better play the following game, they actually were writing down some of the things I was saying!! I was estatic! Of course, when the JTE translated what I said, they scribbled rapidly, but hey, every little bit they understand straight from me is a huge plus! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, haha!
So today is my dear boy's birthday, so Happy Birthday Adam!!!!! I love you! He's 24 today..... which for some reason doesn't seem as old as I thought it would. I guess its because we hang out with people who are sometimes much (and by that I mean 11 yrs... ehem... Zack, hehe) older than we are! So actually Im starting to feel like the baby in the group (which I think I am by at least a year or two...) instead of the mom I felt I was turning into my senior year of college! Honestly, Id rather be the baby now that Im over 21! Ok, so tonight we're heading to Kyoto to stay at Camilla's place and maybe go for a nice dinner and a couple drinks for Adam's birthday. We were going to have a big b-day bash with bowling and such, but everyone else seemed to have prior engagements, so that'll have to be next weekend.
I also realized after I got to school and was going to send Adam another cute b-day message that Id forgotten my phone at home!!!!! Honestly, I almost hyperventilated! My pulse quickened and I became all anxious. That is until I reminded myself that "Its just a phone, Angie. You'll be ok, you dont really NEED it to survive the day, as nice as that would be". The funny thing is that I deliberately looked at my phone lying next to my laptop this morning and said, "Ok, I cant forget my phone......" go figure! Then I got to thinking about how dependent we are on technology and how useless and panicked we can feel without it. (ok.. theres a jp teacher next to me practicing his golf swing......! something I cant even see my golf-nut of a dad doing during his work breaks! weird...) Anyway, I guess it would be nice to go somewhere and just leave the emailing, the phones, the text messaging at home and just relax. Hopefully itll be like that over Christmas and New Years. Tanning on the beach off the coast of Malaysia with a gin&tonic beside me....ahhh I cant wait!! Not only do I seem to have a crazy attachment to my phone, but also to emailing and blogging and checking my email in general... I think I need to get myself in check... On that note, Im going to end this and finish the test for my Japanese Correspondence Language Course Level 1..... ja mata!
by the way... the date on this says 11/10 when really its 11/11 here.. so yeah. Were in the future!! haha!
