Me at Sunshine City with Hello Kitty and Totoro
Today we were required to get a health check so we could use the gym at the school. I imagined we would just have to get our height, weight, and eyesight checked, but in reality it was much more aweful.
First, we had to do a urine test. This made no sense to me, because it is not like they followed you to make sure your pee was your pee. So basically, I have no idea what it was for. And, for some reason, I failed!!! There MUST be something wrong if I failed the test. Apparently, I has too much protein or something...So I have to go back later and do it again. They said I either had a serious kidney disease or I was a little tired. (?) Riff Raff!!!! Also, the pee handlers wore no gloves or anything...kind of unsanitary....
Next, we did an eyesight test. They gave us this paper that explained the procedure, which included turning a triangle to make it turn in the direction of an open circle...We were all confused by the Engrish instructions. When we got up there, it was a basic test where you tell them which way the E was pointing. I have no idea WHAT they were going on about.
After that we did the standard height, weight, blood pressure, but then we had to do a chest xray!!!! This was aweful, we had to get in a van, remove our bras, and stand in front of this machine (no lead protection....) I never thought I'd say this, but I miss American physicals.
When this was finally done (nearly 2 hours later) a goup of us went to explore Ikebukuro, which is just north of our school. There, we went to Sunshine City, which, beleive it or not, used to be the prison for the class A war criminals after WWII, but now is a GIGANTIC shopping mall. We saw a bunch or shops (one was even dedicated to Totoro), but it was all way to expensive.
I took a page out of Sonya's book and bought Harry Potter in Japanese. I know it will take me an hour to read a page, but it will be good practice. :)

Maddy! That physical sounds terrible! It sounds like they don't really know what they're doing. I hope you don't have a horrible kidney disease.
Love,

Well my reaction to the whole physical was to laugh until I lost my breath. That was hysterical only because I can hear it all being said in your dear, sweet voice. And I can just hear the horror when you talk about the pee handlers. *LMAO
Well, I am sure you just need to be drinking more water to flush your system but I will read on to make sure you are all right.
Hey, M, I bet even the pee handlers don't eat glue.
See if there's a high tech solution for how to deal with that little task!!
