I think I'm turning Japanese

Ok, I almost shaved off my eye brows! I now KNOW I've been in Japan too long. In Hawaii I never wore make up and didn't really even take care of myself. I dressed really ghetto and just excepted that I wasn't that great looking. But in Japan that is just unacceptable, ALSO everyone else is like HOT, so you just feel super lame. And not playing with your hair for like 15 hours a day means your basicly a man. Even they spend at least 10 hours on their hair.

So for a person who is lucky to even comb their hair its a bit of a shock. So I guess I've become more careful on how I look. I actually sometimes wear make up, since I've been doing that I also been staring at my face longer. I realized awhile ago one eye is smaller than the other, but staring at my face I realized my entire right side of my face is less developed somehow, my right jaw is less pronounced and I have less cheek bone on my right side. So it's been making me paranoid, but Oh well those things cant be helped anyhow.

Either way, the eye brows started as in Japan NO ONE has eye brows. The boys dont, nor the girls. My school even does eye brow checks to make sure they have them but alas it does little. So, lately somehow in response I've been plucking my eyebrows EVEN THINNER! And when I do it the student compliment me, like I look beautiful today etc, etc. So I think its been making me go crazy! Finnally I realize that I have like seriously 4 hairs on my left eye brow at one section, and I dont know if they are going to grow back. I want them! So I decided oh if i just shave it off then itll look like I plucked them nicely but still have eye brows! And then I suddenly went OMG, I will be like those eye brow less students who look DAMN scary when they forget their eye brow pencils. I can just imagine myself with a sharpie in the corner! FEAR.

Well moving on with that. Last few days have been nice, since I see second years less they've been really jazzed with my lessons. Also my last lesson went off really well. And I've been hearing more hellos and I love Kristen in the hallways, always nice. Also on the last mountain hike I finally hiked with class 7. I like this class but I also hate them since they are so noisy they often just break down into chaos. But one girl and her friend who are undoubtedly in the bad ass we don't work ever talked to me. Their defacto leader is semi on crack all the time. Shes screaming and having a great time with her horrible engrish, and I really butter them up saying they are doing great etc. And at the end they say to one another in Japanese, I CANT BELIEVE I UNDERSTAND HER! I cant believe she understands us! Wow! This makes me want to study English more! Man I wanted to cry, it makes me really feel like Japan is not wasting their money on bringing me over here. If class 1-7 Yuki, the Yuki who failed music can actual come to want to study english....WOW.

Teachers are leaving, sadness... (One of my JTE's, hes kinda goofy and not reliable but students seem to like him and I am the closest to him of all the ones I teach with) but new students are coming. Things are looking up (minus my eye brows) but I'm still happy to go home. I really have done alot I think so I'm happy to have finished strong. Next year I think I'll do alot better. There were alot of ups and downs and I really had to wonder about Japan. But even though its freezing cold in my apartment and I can't shower and sometime I have no idea whats going on...I feel good to be in Japan now. Yay...now if only my eye brows would grow back in! I promise to treat you better...please grow back T.T
