Today I had a lesson with Linda, who is 4 years old. She went in for a shot today so they were going to be late. I knew exactly when they would be coming, too. I had been listening to my music, only half paying attention and occasionally glancing at the driveway. At one point I thought I heard them (Linda and her mother) but I didn't see them. Five-ish seconds later I turn and Linda's mother is a couple feet from me. Naturally I jumped.
Later on in the day I was watching Summer Wars on TV (It was very difficult because there weren't any subtitles, but I had watched it a couple times before so I could guess my way through). I went downstairs to grab some food and came back upstairs. It was at a point in the movie when no one was speaking so I grabbed the tea from my bag and heard an old woman speak Japanese. I jumped... and then realized how dumb that was because obviously it was part of the movie - there wasn't actually an old lady in the room.
On my way downstairs to grab food I was in the bathroom and glanced at a box that held random bits of junk, as I usually do because.. I don't know, it's there? And I noticed an English mistake that I hadn't before. I've been here for over a year, using the bathroom daily, and I'm just noticing this now.
"The garden is green with grass, hearty welcome to you!" Is what I thought it said.
"The garden is greeen with grass, hearty welcome to you!" Is what is actually says.
Speaking of English mistakes, I saw this on a shirt in the mall: "Love will find away!" So close, shirt makers! Just separate the "a" from "way" and it'll be... well it'll be correct English anyway.
