Those lyrics from a song come to mind as I attempt to describe the state of my spirit today. It has been almost a month since my last post and so much has happened within that time. I will try to sum up what has been going on. My apologies for the delay as I know that I haven’t been keeping in touch very well! I’ve finally got the time and mental stamina to crunch out one of these bad boys. So here we go!
It is interesting how I find it difficult to share about things that can get me down. I love elaborating on stories of my “adventures” and the fun things I get to do. Yet the darker times of life seem to want to withdraw from the public eye and be forgotten. What I am trying to say is that I have been sick. A lot. Since arriving in Korea over a month and a half ago, I have had maybe one full week where I felt strong and healthy. At first I just had a bad cold. That lasted for about 2+ weeks soon after getting here. All the other new teachers at my school got sick as well. For some reason, all the transitioning and being around little kids’ germs turned out to be the perfect recipe for getting sick.
