A wonderful morning surprise

Last night after work I got home at about 5:45, had a Chilsung Cider and two chocolate chip cookies and took a nap. I had planned on waking up an hour later to go to emart and buy some lightbulbs because the two in my bathroom blew out and I had spent the last two days without any light in my bathroom. Makes showering/make-applying/hair fixing a bit of an experience.

Unfortunately, I work up at 9:30. I checked my e-mail and facebook, texted and phone-called bekah, and then promptly went back to sleep.

You see, I've been pretty sick lately. Not deathly ill, just a fairly bad cold. Also, I bit the inside of my left cheek, and it's not healing very quickly and it hurts a lot. So I figured I would take sleep when I could. As such, when I woke up, I still had no light in my bathroom, but I was feeling quite refreshed.

Found out that my Family Mart restocked their Strawberry milk, and then got to work to discover that Ali wanted to gchat. And so we got to do video at my school and she saw some of my students and it really was pretty great. I was very happy, and all in all, it was a very good morning. Let's just hope my afternoon and evening will continue being equally great. *^^*

As an aside

All 7 of my prescriptions came to a grand total of 14 USD.

Thank god, because my doctor vists weren't all the cheap (cheaper than the states, but with blood tests and xrays and everything, still a bit pricey... maybe 50USD)

I'm already starting to feel better, and my eyes aren't hardly pink at all. I wonder if I can start wearing my contacts again. So sick of glasses already.

Sick

I went to a hospital today because I have been sick for the past three weeks. After three hours of waiting, an eye examination (in which the korean woman who helped translate was thoroughly appalled by my unassisted vision test performance. I couldn't see the biggest line and had to step forward twice in order to read the largest line), a general doctor exam, a chest x-ray, and blood tests, the doctor determined that I do not have H1N1, but instead am merely infected with allergic conjunctivitis as well as chronic bronchitis. Here, the doctor was in total disbelief that I don't smoke, but still have chronic bronchitis. However, he explained, there is no other reasonable diagnosis, plus the pollution in my area has been known to cause bronchitis.

This is my pink eye. It is/was itchy, but the eyedrops help:


I got prescribed a whole slew of antibiotics and extra strength painkillers:


I must take 4 pills three times/day, plus 10 mL of this horrrrrrrible cough syrup 3x/day, PLUS eyedrops SIX times/day, plus I have an inhaler for the tournament in Thailand, in case my bronchitis causes my asthma to flair up. On the up side, I get to go home at 11:30 every day for the rest of the week due to my sickness. This means I can sleep more. And maybe plan better for the rest of winter camp?

I am playing hot potato tomorrow. We are learning about Ireland. See the connection?

A lot has been going on. But I'm sick and so I don't really wanna write about it.

Thomas came and left.

I had two days of winter camp. Next week, new winter camp with my favorite students at my school. I hope it doesn't suck. I haven't planned anywhere near enough. I just want everything to come together with no work.

Listening to a fuckton of hip hop.

I fell in the snow the other day in Gangnam. I think I hurt my knee, but not that bad.

I found out things that I probably shouldn't have. Said things today I shouldn't have.

I took a 40 minute nap at work after eating. It was awesome.

New Years Resolutions:
1. Lose 10-15 pounds. This is less an aesthetic goal than a well-being goal. I don't really care about being thinner (which isn't to say I wouldn't mind being thinner) but I really wanna get toned again. I want to drop some of the weight I've picked up since graduating. Part of this goal is going to the gym and forcing myself to run. Even in cold and snow. Seriously, I need to grow a pair and just do it.
2. Find someone to throw with at least once or twice/week.
3. Quit thinking that the only way I can be happy is via intimacy with men.
4. Cook at home at least two or three meals per week. Really cook. No more grilled cheese, and less eating out. As it stands, I eat out at least 5 times per week, usually more.
5. Lesson plan more in advance.

These are vague and most of them have no planned means for following through, but seriously. I have got to get my shit together. I'm in Korea and I'm spending an offensive amount of money every week, and I'm saving virtually nothing.

xoxo bitches,
