...of my previous post about overcoming loneliness. Tonight I am feeling pretty lonely. It's cold, I have Elementary to *look forward to* tomorrow, and that's basically it.
I actually did have a nice day at Junior High though. My supervisor came to watch one of my classes, and that went pretty well. The kids that I eat lunch with got the courage to ask if I had a boyfriend. When I said yes, one girl broke into a chorus of いいな、いいな、いいな (ii na, ii na, ii na - sort of like how cool!) for about two minutes, but it was genuine, so I was happy. One of the boys called her stupid for saying it so many times, but she wasn't offended, just replied back that it was pretty nice to have a boyfriend. They asked for his name, how old, etc, and I promised to show them a picture next time we had class together. As it turns out, I saw one of the girls after school and showed her a picture of Dede and I on my mobile.
But yes, there are some days when you just can't get over this feeling. Every morning I wake up brings me one day closer to November 18th. Tomorrow will be 35 days, which in reality isn't that far away. I've been here longer than that. But still, it'd be great to talk to him again. Unfortunately the internet is expensive for him so we don't Skype as often as I'd like...
