Today we took our
finals. Right after the final, I use a bathroom that I haven’t used yet in the
school. I was having trouble finding the flusher, so I panicked and pressed a
button. Not just any button though….a red button. Serioulsy, Andrea? Its red,
how could you press it? As soon as I did, I knew that it was not the flush
button. I find the actual flusher and its just hidden by the seat lid…it’s a perfectly
normal flush handle. Meanwhile, there’s a really loud beeeeeeeping on this
floor. There is NO ONE up here, but my classmates, so I just wait. I wait and
wonder what their policy is when that button is pressed. I mean, is an
ambulance automatically called? A lady
rushes through the elevator (14th floor, mind you). I try to catch
her to let her know its me that pressed it. I finally get my point across to
her in the bathroom and “Gomenasai” (Sorry) profusely. She tells me “Daijoubu,
Daijoubu” (Its ok, It’s ok) . I was so embarrassed, but she was so nice and
acted like this has happened before.
Next, a few of us
finally ride the Tokyo Dome roller coaster. I haven’t ridden one in years, so I’m
super excited. I had wanted to go to the Mt. Fuji Amusement Park, which has
some of the best roller coasters, but its about 3 hours away, so time and money
didn’t allow this time (this time ;-) ).
It was totally worth it and gave me a great adrenaline rush to go back to the
hostel and get started on some homework. errrr.
Later that night there
is a farewell party for us at the university. Everyone gives a few words on
their experiences in Japan and how much we’ll miss it here. Then I go out for
one last time with my new friends that I met at Chuo University.
