I'm tired! This past few weeks have been so incredibly busy that I just want to sleep. It may also be the reason why I have a Temporomandibular (TM) disorder. As last year I spent time with the master of self-diagnosis, Abra, I too can now diagnose myself using the internet! But really I have found an accurate diagnosis. I have shooting pain by my ear at the top of my jaw on the right side, to be technical, pain in my Temporomandibular joint. Man it hurts, I should go to the doctor, but knowing Japan, I'll probably end up in some crazy head brace, or at least a crazy jaw brace, and that would just be damn stupid. my.webmd.com says that:

The most common cause of TM disorder is tension in the muscles that control the jaw, such as tension caused by clenching the jaws or grinding the teeth, and muscle tension in the neck and shoulder.

I think I may well have been stressed, first with that damn Japanese exam, and then having to do the damn "Reinventing the Textbook" presentation with Kenton and Gerard! Honestly, we were so ill-prepared, it's amazing we pulled it off, and even then it wasn't pulled off well! If it wasn't for Kenton cracking the jokes and refering to the JTE as "my baby's mumma!" at one
stage it could've been worse! Gerard I think definitely contributed to my TM disorder cos he had this idea of ripping the "What's this..." origami page out of the 1st year New Horizons and making origami with it and the kids saying, "What's this?" I was freaking out! It's not that I
didn't see the humour in it, I just didn't think the JTEs and some others would! So he had Mary's old textbook, and he was all set, with me being the only one to know of his stunt! Luckily, he changed his plan and had a false page in it, and pretended to rip it out. Thank God he did, cos some of the faces on those teachers were not happy!

This weekend Louise and I are making Christmas dinner for J-friends, and then I can't believe it, we are all off to Vietnam on Wednesday! Honestly it has come by so incredibly fast this year, and so much to do still! So much shit to clean up and stuff to pack! Better get to it...
