Are You Japanese?

I only had one class to teach today... man, didn't think I'd survive... but, luckily I was able to join some PE classes. They might be playing basketball and though I suck and am not to fond of the sport... it's better than sitting in the office doing nothing. Especially since I already know that when I have nothing to do and get bored... I slowly begin to doze off... even if am not tired.

But, the good thing though... I apparently had some basketball skills today. My students kept saying... "すごい... うまえ!" (which is basically something along the lines of cool and I'm really good). So, yeah... was making baskets and kept getting rebounds and some of the students were scared to go against me... ::shrugs::. I know you guys might be thinking... "Well... aren't they junior high students?"

Dude... that don't mean shit. I'm only taller than a few. The rest are mostly around my height and some even tower above me... like this one dude specifically. Whenever we went against him... he was sure to be all up on me to keep me from shooting. Dude is friggin' tall as fuck!

Anyway... I survived the day... and that's all that matters.

Man, it's getting colder and colder... and, I don't know what to think of it. I'm excited because I love cold weather... but, it's coming to the point where I see my breath... WHEN I'M INSIDE!!!!! I even bought gloves... me... gloves... I know... pssssh. It better snow eventually... because cold temperatures and rain is not pleasant... why didn't it just fucking snow?!?!?

After I left school... I went grocery shopping. When I went to go pay... the cashier lady asked me if in Japanese if I was Japanese. I didn't catch what she said... so, I told her that I can speak a little Japanese... so, she asked me in English if I was Japanese. I realized what the question was... and well, it didn't matter though since I basically answered her by not catching what she said. I did tell her I was American Colombian... and she responded a bit surprised saying I look Japanese.

I was like... 本当に?!?!? (which is the equivalent of "really?!?!?"). I kind of took it as a compliment... I'm not sure why... but, if seemed like a compliment to me. I'm thinking since my eyes tend to be a bit... uh... well... asian-ish when I smile and laugh... she probably thought I had some Japanese in me... I highly doubt she thought I was full Japanese... heh heh. So, yeah... thought that was cool... a Japanese thinking I was Japanese... awesome!

But... yeah... end!
