CPR Certified

The other day at one of my middle schools I caught a bad migraine during the middle of first class.  I somehow managed to crawl through that and 2 more classes before dying in the health room.  Normally I try to carry two migraine aspirin on me because I know that I can get migraines randomly... at least, random as far as I know.

I managed to pick myself up for the last two periods when some firefighters came to the school and taught one of the 9th grade classes CPR.  I participated, and if I understood the teacher right, I'll be getting certification for CPR!  In Japanese!  So for a while, I'll be certified for CPR in both the states and Japan.  Right now there's no difference between the two countries, although I know that in the states they are quickly going towards getting rid of the breaths.  Not sure how I feel about that, because if the reason I heard for that is true, it's a little silly I think.  Supposedly they want to get rid of the two breaths because people in general aren't doing them correctly.  It makes sense, and doesn't at the same time.  Anyway I'm done digressing!

This is some place that you can do something at (vague description because I don't know if it's a shop/restaurant/barber/etc).  Not much explanation needed on why I uploaded it right!  This is in a city called Sendai, which is about 3 hours away from me.  Good old Japanese people and their use of Engrish!




I'll end by showing you two entries from my students' summer journals.  The randomness of the first one is great, while the feelings of the second one should be worth a literal lol.

I went to a bus stop.  I cleaned it.  I was sleepy.  I was tired.

We played the last soccer game.  Our team lost the game to the Oshima team by a score of 9 to 2.  As long as I live, I’ll never forget how bitterly vexed I was.
