Health Exam

I'm currently battling various diseases it seems...I was feeling pretty sick Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday I went to the Seoul Medical Center to get my health exam so I can apply for my ARC. It was super fast. First they weighed me, took my blood pressure, checked my hearing and eyesight, and...measured my chest. Don't know why. Then I had a chest x-ray, then they took blood and urine samples. I was out of there in a jiffy. Had to bring 2 passport photos, 65,000 won, and my passport. There were 2 old guys that spoke English-very friendly and probably very bored.

Last night I noticed some white stuff (exudate as Dad said in his email...) on one of my tonsils so I took some pretty awesome macro photos and sent it to Dr. Dad. So tomorrow morning I'm going to go to the clinic near my school to get a throat culture done to make sure I don't have strep. Exhilarating, I know.

This week has gone by pretty slow because I've been feeling so bad. Also, I'm so ready to stop having to turn in my lesson preps! It takes me the full two hours to do them the way Sora wants them, so I have no time to come up with fun things to do with the kids. So that sucks. Today I did have a little extra time and printed up some items so the young ones could move them around on the board to make sentences (i.e. "The green building is taller than the blue house.").

For lunch today I went to Pizza School where pizzas are 5,000 won. I think I might have accidentally conveyed to them that I am British...hmm...more on this later, I think.pictures of the aforementioned snow. this was the day after
