Just an update I slept about 1-2 hrs last night. The bed is so thin that it is like sleeping on the wood underneath so it is pretty hard. Last night I would roll over to 1 side sleep for 10-15 minutes then my arm would go numb and I would wake up then roll over to the other side. I went to be about 11:30-12 and about 3 am I got up and watched a movie. Thank heavens for the laptop! Thanks mom for letting me borrow it!
In addition to the great accommodations, during our 8 hr training session we only trained maybe combined 1-1 1/2 hrs. The rest of the time would spent standing around a Japanese instructor speaking Japanese with an interpreter (from the crowd not anyone official) who would translate about 5% of what the instructor was saying. I stood on a hard wood floor for almost 8 hrs in bare feet and really didn't get any instruction. We did do the Kata's enough to make us sweat in the 95% humidity (with no air conditioning in the training center) which then ran down my legs and caused me to get a rash behind my knees. So I am having a REALLY GOOD TIME! My feet would not fit in my tennis shoes after training they were so swollen I had to loosen up all of the laces.
OK now I am done venting for today. I am just so frustrated with how things are turning out. I wish that I would have thought more about staying in the dorms but hindsight is 20/20.
On the bright side of things the college campus is beautiful. It was built in the early 1900's so the architecture is awesome. The old stones and brick work is amazing. I was going to take some pictures I will try tomorrow.
LaNece, thanks for the look on the bright side of things I really needed that. My bright side is going to be getting home on Sunday! I am excited for your new calling. I know that you will do well with it and that it will help you grow physically and spiritually. I think it might help your patience with your kids too. You will get to see just how good your kids are compared to the Primary kids.
Mom thanks for the words of encouragement. I really needed them. I miss talking to you everyday and having my venting time. It makes me miss you and dad and Timmy (shocking). Sometimes just another body in the room makes you feel like every time will be OK. I hope all is well with everyone.
I need to try and get so sleep so wish me luck. Love you all so much, and apprecicate all that you do for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Becky
