I seriously haven't slept in the same bed for more than two nights in a row in the last several weeks. LIFE IS CRAZY, but good. I guess as far as last weeks in a country go, this is the best I could have asked for. Visiting tons of people, goodbye parties, trips, insanity. I don't have much time to brood or panic which is nice, but that ( Read more... )

I am all better! No more type A influenza for me! I beat that sucker down >:D And despite the fact that one of my schools decided to have me eat lunch every day for a week straight with the first years who were almost ALL infected with type B influenza (one class had 16 out of 38 kids absent and of course I'm eating off the absent flu kids' desk, ( Read more... )

So I realized it's been like FOUR THOUSAND YEARS since the last time I posted an entery. Ok, more like just over a month. BUT STILL. It is high time I get off my lazy ass and do some posting. METAPHORICALLY. In reality, I'm going to continue sitting on my lazy ass because I've been immobilized by YET ANOTHER HEAD COLD. Damn you Japanese germs ( Read more... )
