I was laying in bed today, sick, and I thought to myself, "Maybe I should do a blog post..." Here's what you'll see in this blog post: I'm sick, school stuff, health issues. Let's get it started, this might be rather boring.
Oh hey, I just remembered half way typing this, that it's my one month here in Taiwan! I've had a blast here so far(but the last couple of days).
Alright, first thing, I've been sick for about a week. Let's just start going through the week. Monday I went to school, doing decent, but a little ill. The day was OK for the most part, till after lunch. For lunch I went to a place called Saizeriah(sp), and it's really good, cheap food. I like it a lot, so do the other exchange students. It's like American Italian food. So it's pretty good, since I'm kind of used to that. Meals range from $60NT($2USD)~$200NT($6.33USD). It's cheap, and delicious, there is unlimited drinks for $1USD. So if you ever visit(I'm talking to you birth parents, and blood related siblings)! After that I went to a food place, and found some rice flour bamkuchen(I think that was it), and got excited and bought it. I found some strawberry marshmallows, with strawberry filling for $1.33, and it was delicious. So I ate the apparently gluten-free(I'll get on that subject later), and I had an über bad reaction to it, and rested in the infirmary, then went to class, feeling really darn sick. I didn't go to school on Tuesday. Wednesday, everything was ok, but I was feeling ill still, starting to get a bad sore throat, enflamed tonsils, migraines, other stuff. So I go to my other classes,(the schedule for this day was the same) and continue through the day. I didn't go to school Thursday, and Friday. I slept all day those days, and kind of got around today, since I had some medicine in me. Still feeling a bit bad though, but I'm not as bad. Up next is escuela!
I really like my classes, and I've met some awesome people. Though I'm going to have a hard time remembering names, and I already have forgotten a few(I'm sorry ^^;)... Anyways, all my classes are awesome, I switched out of some, and my new ones are: ...I forgot a few, but I have ESPAÑOL as one of them. That will be a fun class, plus I think it would help me a bit if I did learn Español, so I'll be learning Spanish, instead of Japanese. Other than that, I might be joining the cooking club, or interact club. Or both if I can. Anyways next topic is my health.
Well, my diabetes is good, so blood related family members, calm down. It's something I kind of self diagnosed myself with, so it's not legitimate yet. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm celiac, ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001280/ ) there's the link to sum it up. To simply put it, if I eat gluten(wheat, barley, rye) I will get bloated, be constipated, throw-up a lot, and have a bad time. Ummm, I think that's it, so I can't eat bread or anything like cakes and cookie and stuff unless I make them with gluten free cooking flours. When I get back to America in 9 months I will see if I really do have it, if I don't I will really question why I don't, because it can't be cured, and I was having most of the symptoms. Anyways that's it about my health.
Ok, so NEXT SUNDAY I will post a freaking vlog, whether I like it or not. I will get my butt around to it, sometime during the day, whether it's in the middle of the day, or at night! So prepare your eyes, and your ears(it might be a crappy audio quality). I think it will be OK, if I have to, I will use my stupid gaming head phones, (I brought them for skype calls when I don't use the camera, because it makes my voice better), or my iPod ones hahaha. Oh well, just be ready! I will have a vlog post on Sunday! Mark your calendars, prepare your tissues for the tears(aimed at my family), and uhhhh, yeah. See you guys Sunday.
