Something I love about schools in Japan

Pre-story to what I love:

So I caught a cold two days ago and have been feeling rather crummy. The cold is very very inconvenient as this weekend I am planning to be very busy with a trip for my history class on Saturday and a trip through JUSCO on Sunday so I really can't afford for my cold to get worse.

I did the "wear a mask on the train" thing so I wouldn't spread germs....but it's stupid because it doesn't actually work and my glasses kept fogging up >.<  So unless I am hacking my lungs out I am going to avoid that as much as possible.

 Because I was feeling really sick and worried I caught something pretty bad I went to the school's clinic

One of the nurses spoke English so she help me etc. 

This is when she takes my temperature and I find out I am running a slight fever (and it was in Celcius so I really have no idea what it was)

So she gives me directions to a clinic down the street where a doctor speaks English in case anything gets worse (since it is probably just a cold)

Now for what I love:

Then she asks me if I want to sleep (YES) 

I think it is typical for campus clinics to have a few beds where students can rest, our school has 6 beds. All of them have curtains so you can sleep in the privacy of your own little haven.

And the mattress was way better than the shitty one that came with the apartment ^_^

Having beds available for students makes a lot of sense in a big city where many students get to school via public transit which might  take them 30 minutes to an hour (or 45 minutes like me!)

So being able to sleep saved me from possibly passing out on the train home

I love that there are beds there!!!!! <3<3<3

And when I emerged from a wonderful nap much refreshed and (probably) fever free they all greeted me with a smile ^_^  

And then told me to drink energy drinks (for the electrolytes!)  and wear many layers to keep warm  haha

Nice people
