volleyball and stuffs
So, today I went to Tokyo Gaijins volleyball. It was... eh, not the worst I've ever been there but it wasn't particularly great either. I guess it's just that I don't really feel like I fit in socially there (which isn't that big a deal as I'm not there to make friends, I'm there to play volleyball), and it gets more frustrating when they seem to think they should play around me, and never set me, and so on. But at least I got to run around a decent amount and so on, which was the point, I wanted exercise. We had 15 people, so just two teams the entire time. It was mostly Japanese people though, which isn't too weird as it's the holidays now, but...
On the way there I stopped off in Akihabara to print out some 2L prints of photos from my last day of school yesterday (but couldn't find a reasonable frame for what I want to do; I think I'm going to handmake a photoboard to hang up here), and I got dinner at the kaitensushi place at the top of Yodobashi, which wasn't so bad, probably because it was too crowded for them to be condescending.
Funny part: on the way out of Yodobashi I hear a "Whoa, Deanna" and it's one of my 3rd-year girl students from the JHS. I swear that in my 9 months working at Arakawa #7 JHS, I had never run into a single student of mine outside school -- well, not outside a 4-block radius of the school, at any rate (I don't count seeing them walking to/from school, or having seen some of them riding their bikes near school, or the one or two times I saw a student or two at Oku station on my way home). So seeing her and her mother in Akihabara was a pretty crazy coincidence.
Anyway, after volleyball I came back to Akabane, and was starving, so I got dinner at McDonald's since it was kinda late. I got a Chicken Tatsuta sandwich, which is... I dunno, it's like a weird Japanese kind of fried chicken. I didn't particularly like it though, to be honest.
I've been watching DVDs and playing PP and looking at train maps for the last few hours. Trying to figure out a good Seishun 18 trip to Obama City -- right now I'm vaguely looking at also seeing Matsumoto Castle and Hikone Castle (and Lake Biwa), as that would add Nagano, Shiga, and Fukui prefectures all to my visited list. Trying to figure out a good train path that also doesn't totally screw me if a train gets stopped due to snow. I was originally thinking it'd be fun to run the Hokuriku again but I think that might be pretty far out of my way.
You know, I didn't realize Maibara is actually in Shiga prefecture -- I've been through there twice, but never actually left the station, so I'm not sure I count that as a prefecture I've been to.
