May 11th: Coming down with a Korean Cold

SUNDAY the 11th
I woke up feeling Ill and spent most of the day in bed.

MONDAY
I felt sicker than Sunday –hadn’t felt this sick in a couple of years.
Luckily today was the birthday of the Buddha and school was out so I didn’t have to teach. Spent the day sleeping/waking in a sweat.

TUESDAY
Still felt extremely ill but went to teach English at the school. Today was Parent’s Day. The few English teachers were made to go in front of the parents and talk a little –presumably to show our English proficiency and general demeanor. I had to talk with a hoarse voice and also had to blow my nose a number of times, but I think I came off well nonetheless.

I went home and slept fitfully all evening.
