Today I went to my elementary school and played soccer with a bunch of 2nd graders who kicked my ass. I found out just how out of shape I am when I was huffing and dying at around the 5 minute mark. Even before I got winded though, the 2nd graders were still playing better than I was. I need to start exercising so I can whip their candy asses and show them who the man is!!!
In the 1st grade class I had today we were going over basic greetings. We went over "Hello, how are you?" and we walked around the classroom asking each other. I went up to one student and asked "how are you?" but he didn't understand, turned around and yelled "OH MY GOD!" in English and ran away. Kids these days!
I found I have a habit of thinking of a few things in order when I see a little kid who is a lot younger than I am. First I try to imagine what they might look like when they're older, like in their 20's, and then I wonder what kind of job they might have. After that I always think back to when I was that age and think "I don't remember us looking this young." In 30 years I'll probably look at 25 year olds and think about the same things. Sigh...
One girl in particular catches my attention, because I would be willing to put some decent money down that she will end up something similar to the picture on this honorable text's right. I wish I could keep tabs on all the elementary school students and see where they end up in 20 years. Yes, I am judging books by their covers and it is fun, so screw you!
FYI: If you don't know what's up with the girls in those pictures, they are called gyaru and they are girls who generally only care about living carefree lives, not working or doing anything really, dyeing their hair and wearing wigs, fake nails, and whatever else they can get on themselves that is fake. Also not sure, but it sure looks like they spend a few hours in the oven each night. If someone is reading this and can confirm, that'd be cool and much appreciated.
It's started getting cooler which is awesome. I hated swimming in my own sweat every day, so even if it starts freezing I'll be fine with that.
Found out they are taking a sizable amount out of my paycheck for my pension. It would suck except I can get that all back when I leave, so it's like an extra savings account that will add up to almost a month's salary at the end of one year. SCORE!
