Long Time No See...

My oh my it has been almost a month since my last post.

Although it has been a good month so far it has also been difficult because I have been sick for pretty much the entire month.  That is a reason I have been absent from the blog for so long.  I just haven't had the motivation to write much.  I just feel so worn out most of the time.

I went to the doctor at the beginning of the month and he told me I probably had bronchitis and prescribed me a 4 day supply of pills.  I have no idea what the pills were.  I was basically told to take about 16 pills a day.  I did it and I have to say that I don't feel like they helped a whole lot.  By the end of the 4 days I was still coughing a lot and blowing my nose a lot.  After a few days it seemed as though things might be clearing up but last Friday my symptoms returned (literally the exact same ones) and I felt utterly exhausted again.

I really had no desire to go back to the doctor again and get another huge binge worth of drugs.  So I have stuck it out this week.  My symptoms have stayed about the same for most of the week.  Usually in the morning and evening I feel pretty good but if I go to work or something I will start coughing lots of stuff up and blowing my nose a lot for most of the day.  Hopefully I don't get pneumonia.

Oh well I suppose.  I will see what happens in the next couple of days.

So that is where I've been for most of the month, in a perpetual state of exhaustion and sickness.  I think culture shock, work, and just some life issues are all contributing to my exhaustion and sickness.

Nevertheless life is still good and I'm still having fun :D

I've gotten to eat some really great food.  In fact I had Chinese food in Korea for the first time tonight and I have to say it was pretty tasty.

The other day I got to see a friend for the last time before he moved back to America.  I felt really happy for him and yet sad to see him leave as well.

I've gotten to help at quite a few orphanages over the last couple weeks which has been exciting and challenging.

This evening my school had two Music and English Festivals (each 2 hours long) in one day that my co-teacher and I had to host.  Preparing for them was often a stressful time for him and I because it seemed as though things would get sprung on us at the last minute and we would have to change our material on the fly.  That is kind of a vague example but suffice to say Korea is a little bit different than America (haha) and sometimes it's hard to deal with those differences.  Some of the time I was preparing for this presentation I felt like I was kicking and screaming with stress while all the while trying to be a good servant for my head teacher.  I'm glad it's all over now and I'll probably be a better person having had to go through the experience in the long run.

Anyways God is good.
