Tuesday I spent at school working hard on wrapping up my grades and also killing time. Mr. Hayashi was on another one of his guilt sessions, and he said that I could go home anytime I wanted. They have a sneaky way of handling it – I fill out a time off request sheet, and then we put it in Mr. Hayashi’s desk drawer. Then I go off and enjoy. If anything happens to me while I’m out, Mr. Hayashi just says to the principal that he has the form, and then I’m covered financially as if I was on company business. If nothing happens, then Mr. Hayashi and I throw away the sheet the next day. Cool.
At 11 a.m. I was out the door, and by 11:30 I was at home with some delicious sushi that I had purchased at 50% off on the way home. I threw down my sleeping bag on my leather couch in the living room, opened the curtains so the sunshine was streaming in, and took a nice mid-afternoon nap.
I woke up an hour later with that pleasant kind of buzz that comes with having a full stomach and lying in a nice warm bed on Tuesday when everyone else is working. A little while later I talked to Miss Kageyama, and she was game for catching a movie. We decided to see Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King. I offered to scrounge up a meal at my place so we didn’t have to get ramen with backfat, and so I ran over to Carrefour to do some shopping. I came home with some goodies that I arranged on a couple of big plates, and when Miss Kageyama arrived we snacked and snacked, and then finally hit the road for the movie.
This was the second time that I’ve seen the movie, and as I expected I caught a little bit more detail this time around. There is so much going on that it was nice to sit back and look at the detail. The movie finished at midnight, and at 12:30 I was tucked into bed and gone.
