Blue eyes, why are you blue?

I'm feeling a little blue lately. I get so frustrated with my body in China. It's like it doesn't have an immune system. It comes into contact with one germ or virus and melts down. Or maybe my immune system still has to adjust to all these foreign germs.

Anyways, I have no clue what is wrong with me. I came down with a high fever and chills on Thursday night. I rested for most of Friday and the weekend. My fever is gone, but now I'm so exhausted. I feel like I got hit by a bus. I can barely lift my arms and legs to walk, let alone get to class. But somehow I've managed to get to classes... I've never felt so tired in my life. And I don't really feel any worse or better. Just the same. Oh, plus I have a headache and sore throat now. Your thoughts are always appreciated!

I taught my students the word "pep." I feel like I don't have an ounce of pep or energy. I don't mind being sick so much, but when it totally wipes you out for several plus days, I start to mind. I'm here to build relationships and teach engaging lessons. But I can barely make it to class, and can't bear to eat or talk very much. It's a little challenging...


(A little stuffed animal a student gave me. It makes me smile. It sort of looks like a germ. Maybe that's why I'm sick?)
