Last night I walked into the bathroom and bent down to pick up some laundry. This huge, horrible, cockroach jumped out of the pile of towels and I dropped whatever I was holding and screamed. I must have sounded terrified as Marty nearly dropped my laptop in his haste to come to my rescue. I managed to hurt my left foot whilst jumping around trying to avoid the cockroach.

I was talking to Ohata-sensei about insects today and she told me that my home was very natural. She also said that if I can see 1 cockroach there are probably another 20 in hiding. And she told me that they like books!
