From Tuesday till now have been extremely exhausting! I haven't even really used my computer, which is rare for me haha. So, I already wrote about us having Tuesday off and I didn't do much Wednesday - I came home late, because I had to do research for an upcoming debate competition that I have to participate in, but Thursday was just legit hell for me.
I woke up at 5:00AM because I had to be at school at 7:30AM. We normally meet at 8:40AM and it takes me an hour to come to school, but because of a training session of debate, I had to meet this early. I was still extremely tired, because I had been late the day before and I could barely sleep because these days are just HOT. I mean, even the Japanese people says that the temperature should have started dropping around two weeks ago, but it's been going straight up these two weeks, around 30-33 degrees celsius every day. I normally love summer and heat, but it's just SO humid and I have to walk a mountain everyday on my way to school - the classrooms aren't really ventilated either, so it's just sick how hot it is, I'm literally soaked in sweat by the start of the school day, it's AWFUL! So I'm looking forward to winter. Anyway, back to the story. So we had the debate training for around and hour and I swear I suck at it, I had no idea that I would actually suck this much, but I do. Yay. It's in English and my school is actually pretty good at English etc. but even with these girls I can barely understand what they're saying in debate, so what am I going to do when the competition comes and I have to listen to less skilled English speakers from different schools? I'm already dying. I also have gotten the role of Defense & Questions, if you know me, you know that I probably suck at asking the strong questions or using a good defense and if you think that, then you're completely right! I suck, excuse my language, balls. Even the training session was therefore awful. After that I had my normal lessons. Since I'm also writing a speech in Danish and translating it into Japanese for the speech contest in November - which I have to memorize (5 minutes long) and have to overcome my stage fright to be able to perform - and that I'm studying for the N3 kanji test in December, where I have to remember about 500-700 kanji and their different meanings and pronunciations, but not only that, also the one hour long school presentation in Japanese about Denmark for my school, that I have to make before December, because I have do it then. So my concentration is going down, so is my sleep and free time + I can feel the sick pressure coming over me. I HATE standing on a scene due to my severe stage fright and I still have to do it with the speech, presentation and debate competition (22nd of September) therefore I'm freaking, I know I probably will screw all three things on and it makes me extremely stressed to think about. I would do almost anything to get out of these thing, it's like torture for me, but well, enough on that already. So I had normal lessons after and in these lessons I was extremely exhausted, I tried studying a little kanji, but it just didn't really do me any good, I was simply too exhausted to even think. That resulted in me falling asleep in several classes. I then had a self-study lesson in the library where I fell asleep the whole 45 minutes and I was still exhausted after that. It started making me scared, since I was extremely tired the year before this, I slept more though, I slept from night till morning, I woke up and went to school, slept at the school, went home slept until dinner and went back to sleep after dinner and slept the whole night. Every single day. We found out that it was due to half of my blood, well, not being there, my blood precent was waaay too low. I had to get a blood transfusion which helped a lot. Then I have to take multi vitamin pills with 100% iron in them every day for the rest of my life - which is fair enough, they made me well again, but then when I came here I ran out of pills. I bought some new ones that seems to work, but you never know of course. So I got scared. (Don't worry though, I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm exhausted or else it would have happened earlier and I would also feel the dizziness etc.). After school I went home and finally had an hour or so to relax, but no, I used it to write speech. Then I had to go straight to the airport to pick of the girl from Germany, Sofie, who is a former exchange student with this family, she's super sweet etc. I was way too exhausted to be all yay though.
Friday was also exhausting. We came home late from the airport and I could barely sleep. Again. I went to school in the morning and fell asleep at school again. After school I had more debate training, where I sucked just as much as in the one before, yay. No damn improvement. I really hope it'll go better in the competition, because there's a big pressure on me. It's ENGLISH debate and since I'm foreign the Japanese audience will think I'm a strong player etc. but I can barely understand them etc. it would actually be easier to understand in Japanese at this point. Gosh. When I came home we ate dinner etc. and I finally got some time to relax, that was just amazing! Really did need that.
Saturday, well, today. Today was super! I am still, and have been the whole day, exhausted. I woke up at 7:30AM so that I could go meet some AFS friends at Sapporo station. We were going to the movies, which I really couldn't wait to. That is super relaxing haha. So I met three of the guys and some Rotary exchange students at Sapporo station and we walked to Sapporo Factory where we were going to meet with Eden and see the movie. Turns out we were going to see "Prometheus" which didn't sound too bad. I was wrong though. It wasn't really my cup of tea, it was pretty boring etc. I didn't really get absorbed in it, so yea. It was okay though, I guess someone else might have liked it - but we didn't really, as far as I understood. The three Rotary students had to go home from there, so the AFS guys and I went to a game center, where we had a lot of fun and then to get something to eat. After walking around several places for around half an hour we decided to just go to KFC. We had a lot of fun talking there etc. after eating KFC and ice cream we walked back to Sapporo station where we did karaoke. It was amazingly fun, we sang, danced, laughed etc. I totally forgot how much fun guys is. No wonder that I get along better with guys than girls, but I obviously doesn't have the same chance to talk with boys here as in Denmark, so I had no idea how much I had missed it until now. These guys are also just amazing. They're so much fun haha.
Then I went home and went to eat some Indian food with the family. It tasted good, a little spicy haha, but good and now I'm on my way to bed. Since I have school tomorrow where I'll be going to be a waitress. At least I have Monday off, so let's see what I'm going to do there. I don't really know yet. We'll see.
Thanks for reading!
Take care.
