December 17
Monday
I woke up today wanting to exercise, but I accidentally hit the disable bottom instead of the snooze. I woke up with Heather saying, it’s almost 6. I really wanted to exercise this morning because hadn’t all last week. I had diarrhea (sure you all wanted to know that), started last Sunday morning. The situation was so bad that even anti-diarrhea pills didn’t stop the flow. At first I thought it was the new restaurant Katrina and I tried the Friday before Sunday, then I thought it was the water we got at the very beginning of the year; it was filtered though. I couldn’t pin point the instigator so I just dealt with the problem as much as I knew how to. This last Saturday night I couldn’t handle it anymore and sucked up my pride and asked Fay. She referred me to the doctor on the compound; she said I might have had some kind of worm in my stomach. So Sunday afternoon I went to the pharmacy and picked up my savior. It was weird not to have a prescription from the doctor. All I had to do was write down what I wanted in English and tell them how much. Very easy, a little to easy…. The good thing about, it only cost 3 thousand rel, which mounts up to 75 cents in America. As of today I don’t have any diarrhea, but I’m backed up. Whatever, I would rather be held up than let the damn go.
Also on the agenda for today I got a present from Sarat. I was actually surprised. I am always yelling at him to sit down and listen to Teacher Liz. This present is very special to me. One that I will not ever throw away, or lose my accident, it was a Farris wheel. But you put a wind mill looking kind of thing into a hole and turn. The turn makes the little bears, which are on the ride, move, while playing Mozart (thought the Mozart thing was a little random, but whatever). I was really excited, it made my day!
My kids have been giving me gift since the beginning of December. Since I can’t really decorate my desk with pictures of home or little gifts I get because my room is not all that secure. So I compensate by decorating my desk with little notes my kids pass me. Like: I Love you Teacher Liz, Teacher Liz I love you girl I miss you. I love you Teacher Liz. Teacher Liz Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Samnang was the first to give me something, the rest followed. Since Sopheaktra understands English the best, all the kids ask her how to spell and write. Mostly they have her write it and then pass it off as their own. None the less I love it. It makes me feel good my kids love me.
Last week I asked Pros (Teacher @ CAS) to draw a picture of my kids and I. I want to frame it when I get home. These kids are my life now and I’m not looking forward to leaving them. I need to get a group picture while Yeema is here. She has been such a great assistant and will not be left out of the picture. I want to give Yeema something before she leaves, but I don’t really know what to give. There’s a book store here that’s the closest to Barns and Noble we have. I was thinking of giving her a book of quotes or something. I’m not sure what to give. Maybe when I get the picture of the kids, I will give her a copy, but Pros was saying it won’t be done for some time. I don’t know yet, but I know this Friday we are going to have dinner at my house. My plane doesn’t leave until midnight, so I have time.
That’s my day in a nut shell. Nothing much more to report, other than leaving for Korea this Friday; can’t wait! We are going to have so much fun. I still have yet to call Gatz to inform her when I will be arriving. Maybe I should do that….
