I've realized something recently.
I have had absolutely no (except for a cold that lasted a day) internal health struggles. Yup. That's right. I haven't had diarrhea, a fever, or Dengue Fever. What an immune system! However, what I haven't had much luck with is the external health battle.
- bug-bite turned infection on my ankle (which gave me considerable trouble walking)
- falling off of my bike before even getting to training
- cutting myself with glass (notice these two would probably happen anywhere)
- contact skin dermatitis from strange plants on my left eyelid (not fun)
- contact skin dermatitis from strange plants on my right arm
- etc...
Some of you could just agree that I'm a clutz and physical injuries are bound to happen to me, but I swear, my skin just doesn't like this country (or DEET).
Hopefully my body will grow used to this place and then again, maybe not.
Talk to you soon,
Garrett
p.s. I just potentially found a temporary tutor. Whoo! I will be happy to have an actual tutor rather than relying on myself as I have the past 5 weeks.

Eeesh! I HATE bug bites *shiver* Hang in there! If it makes you feel better I've been sick (internally) six times this semester; first time working full-time with kids....
ReplyDeleteI suppose between the two of us we've got one healthy immune system and one bug-bite-free epidermis :)
Haha that's just what I was telling my friend here who's had internal problems as i've had external.
