So I am a little bit devastated today. Tomorrow is the start of the conference in Kobe, in the swanky Portopia Hotel where I get to share a room with B!

And what for?? Everything is ruined! This morning, the Curse of Eve struck me down.

It's so unfair.

And I have about a million pimples right now. I'm a TEACHER, I am 25 YEARS OLD. WHY do I still get pimples like a 15 year old? 

and why can't I stop picking at said pimples?

PS Have I whinged about Kijima recently? She really does my head in. Her English is crap but she refuses to tell me stuff in Japanese- even though 8 out of 10 times I could understand what she is trying to say in Japanese. So, I wrote a lesson plan and translated it into Japanese for her hahaha. It's a pretty big insult to do that to an English teacher, but if I don't be mean to her subtley and have a giggle to myself I might end up just slapping her or something.
