Simba... This is so totally your fault.
May. 12th, 2009 11:49 amSo, as you all know, I went home for 10 days during Golden Week. Was in Hawaii, Seattle, and again in Hawaii before flying back to Japan. Got to see all (well almost all... sorry Whit...) the people I meant to see while I was there and turned out that a crap ton of people missed me more than I thought. One of my roommates is moving back to Hawaii (from Seattle) in June but told me that she'd stay in Seattle if I moved back. One of the underclassmen said that if felt like her Seattle family was home again... It was really nice seeing everyone.
But it also turned out to be a not so event-free vacation as well. Got into a car accident. I wasn't the driver and it turned out to be the car's fault more than anything. Considering that the front passenger seat is supposed to be the most dangerous, I walked away with the least amount of injuries. The driver hit her head on the steering wheel (yeah... our seat belts didn't hold us in very well and the airbag didn't deploy until the second hit) and her knee hurts when she walks. The girl in the back seat had been leaning forward to ask a question when we hit. Nothing serious... She'll be on crutches for a while but there was no fracture.
The car is gone and beyond repair. No, it wasn't a car/car accident (again. REALLY LUCKY). It was more of a Car vs. Onramp Rail kind of thing.
So, what's the lesson people? If you live in a rainy/wet place like SEATTLE, have good tires!
Funny thing, that's not the end of my wonderful vacation (which I'm still really glad I went on). I came back to Japan Sunday. Monday was a holiday for my school. My supervisor told me I should stay home today. Just got a phone call saying that they would like me to stay home tomorrow as well. SWINE FLU people... Japanese people are very worried about SWINE FLU spreading to Japan.
Ok. Granted, I had a runny nose Sunday night when my supervisor called to ask how I was doing, but my body's tired and I've been jumping time zones for the past week and a half. On top of that. I'm allergic to dogs. Especially long haired dogs that like to shed... a LOT. I slept over Laruku's house Friday night and woke up to Simba lying on top of me. My eyes are still itchy. Anyway. Not actually sick, but I'm stuck at home til they decide otherwise.
