I joined the new first grade students in their second day of orientation in the nearby camp grounds. Who knew they would move everyone to a mountain for an orientation and then keep them indoors the whole day?
I thought it was weird when I showed up in my sports gear while the principal and the school counselor came in suits. Man, this whole dress code thing just escapes me.
Anyway, after having lunch, I was helping bus trays and bowls back to the washing area. Being Japan and all, I was wearing indoor slippers because there is a good separation of in and out. As I was headed up the stairs, I totally wiped out. All the bowls (big and small), spoons and trays slipped out of my grasp and I just fell. Hard core.
I just laid there in a moment of shock and then I looked up to see all the kids staring at me in concern. Hahaha....I felt totally bad and slightly embarrassed.
As I collected the things and my own composure, I realized one of the plastic bowls broke into pieces as though it were ceramics. What the heck.
What a great first impression I made on the students. Hahaha...
