(no subject)
My voice is still nearly nonexistent.
Yesterday I tried to teach as usual a la Silent Bob (lots of faces and gestures.... little else) and it didn't go so well, so today I went with the old teacher standby of (drum roll...) A VIDEO!
Actually I was good and showed them "The Cat Returns", thus exposing them to international cinema and the like. The English dub on it was surprisingly good. I love this movie, but by my fifth class (and second to last period) I was getting a might tired of seeing the first half over and over and over. I can't think of may other films I could watch 6 times in one day and not want to burn afterward though, so just being a might tired of it was pretty good actually.
My stupid doctor still won't give me any more antibiotics so soon after my last two prescriptions (I called up yesterday to beg for meds and was rejected). I went to Walgreens this morning on the way to school though and stocked up on all the over the counter stuff I thought would help. I ended up walking into school with this massive sack of meds and tea and honey and such. It seems to have helped a tiny bit though as I'm not coughing as much now as I was this morning. Hopefully I'l be able to make enough of a recovery to be able to talk whilst I'm in Toronto.
I'm off to take a nap now.
