Magical Calendar

Did you see your calendar by 24th or the following day? And, if so, did you find the wrongness?

I couldn't believe my eyes when seeing a calendar on my desk in order to check out my schedule of the next month. There is a row of days' names written on the top of a calendar. Usually, those are from Sunday to Saturday, right? Just then I checked out, that was obviously different and I was so suprised, because this calendar showed "Superdrinking" in place of "Saturday" and "Hangover" in place of "Sunday". I couldn't well figure out what would happen but that I would join a party, and the following day, too.

On "Superdrinking", it's at 12ish when I got up. And I cleaned my room up as my girl exclaimed after she got angry with my messy room. No help I had (Wooooooooops), since I started to clean when she freely went to beauty salon, and I finished doing it when she returned back from there. "Superdrinking"? Nope, not at all, it must be just the word "Super-Tired".

Anyway, we went to Namba, Osaka, to join the party for my friends and me. Almost half of the members stood up me and the other punctual guys. Waiting for them, I didn't come to know and almost asked the organizer whether it might be a memorial event or not. At the same time, I was so happy to meet my friends and said "Thanks for coming". One of them had already looked broken from his work, and he said, One glass of beer for supply of his energy. Whatever he said, our conditions never became better.. Waiting... Waiting.....Waiting......... Time was passing as long as the pee might evaporate and go up the sky if we peed around there.

The party started. We dipped vegetables and thin sliced beef in hot water in a pot (You see? This was Shabu-Shabu). I tried to explain to a man from abroad how we ate, but truly I thought I couldn't. And he only went through the motion so that he ate (Giggling). Now I want to tell him "There is no royal road to learning!" I had fan to meet and talk the missing people so that I could make this memory deeply in my heart, and I'll never forget this party and the past with them similarly to the previous Department's party.

Then, we went to Karaoke. So disgusting, interesting in a sense, words I heard from one of my members from Canada. Without singing (despite Karaoke), he seemed to be making advances to one of my best friends when I visited the another room. As soon as looking at me, he asked me with his face looking severe.....

"Hey, Max. I am an exclusive intellect, ain't I?" Actually he asked in Japanese.

Saying in mind "Nope, you're just a highblow!", I said, "I am not sure" in fact. What do you think I should answer like? Please tell me.

Bret, Nick from the US, and Dorian I say "Thank you" to them on this page, too. They taught me English, especially speaking, sometimes slangs also, and I had a lot of fan with them. My campus life was stopped here.


The following day, "Hangover", I felt something wrong on my stomach, but it's not pain. Still, I was supposed to go to cram school where I worked as a part-time job so that teachers congratulated those who passed the exam. I arrived at there behind time since my boss told teachers to bring your tool or tools to give them to students. I had not decided to give them to students. After all, I was reluctant to bring a mobile reading light. The fact that all teachers had to bring some things was decided still long days ago and never changed, for my tool was a reward of a game. That meant, if I was the winner, I could get it again. The game (BINGO) started. Unfortunately and ironically, my sheet had six reaches but did no BINGO. I was ready to shout BINGO but never happened. The 4th winner got my tool.

After the victory celebration, teachers went to an izakaya restaurant. It's Farewell Party to me and another. Both of the two will quit the cram school soon. I have worked there for 2 years. It's a nice job. I didn't feel that I could pour even a little of alcohol into my stomach with bad condition, and I would not like to drink alcohol more. However, Japan society tends to make important of whether someone is a good mixer with other people or a bad mixer. So, however ill I felt, I had to drink with my boss. I could manage to drink two glasses of beer but felt worse. I now regard these two days as hard training, even as asceticism.

Today, I saw my calendar on the desk, and the calendar has the regular form as usual.
