Chickpeas and Dirty Knees.

I'm back in Korea and so far it has been a rough two days. When I first started to travel my jet lag wasn't too bad. Now, it hits me with a brutal force every time. I feel like I'm swimming in my head, my body is sore, and I just want to sleep. Also this time I got a fun little clot. Now I'm taking blood thinners and I get to go get tested again on Thursday. No danger. It isn't serious. The doctors always tell me that here... They never think my pain is worth anything lol.
But good new... My blood pressure is normal... I guess being sleepy is good for it or something. Oh well, Now that I'm back I have to be healthy again. I'm actually doing good. The old me would have eaten every snack I brought back from America in the time of one hour. I have yet to touch anything, but a mini candy bar. I'm telling myself it is okay to eat something I like as long as I don't be a complete pig about it... Working so far! I suppose I'll have to put tuna or something in my mac and cheese... LAME!

So this summer camp is a bit different from what I am used too. Last year my school bought the books and I just taught and had lots of desk-warming time. This year my school is only having 4 days of summer camp, but we have to make the materials. The teachers are having me draw 24 world maps. I told them that I'm not good at drawing so hopefully they are too disappointed about how awful they look. I tried to make a pattern and trace... Apparently the world is hard to trace. I wish they would just spend the few dollars and buy some maps.
Also I'm writing the scripts for the conversation next week. This I like. I would rather write than draw any day.
I also have babysitting. Today they wanted to add another babysitting class, but when I went they told me to go downstairs. There wasn't another class. It was my 3 o'clock class. So I went away and called my coteacher. So, the head of teachers is going to come and tell me what is going on sometime today. He doesn't speak English and he thinks I understand korean... This will be interesting. I really wish they could be more organized, but I would just be wasting thoughts.
After this week, I hope I will be over this jet lag and I can start my writing samples. I need to be finished after I get back from Japan so I can send a sample to my references. Maybe they will get a second draft...
Anyone want to edit? ;)
