Day 19, Slight embarrassment

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.
