Ten days have gone by with no posts from me. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of fun for me to have during those ten days. Most of my time was spent putting in 12-hour days at school preparing for the final classes before the midterm exams start next week as well as creating the actual exams.
And to top it all off, I got another nasty case of food poisoning last Tuesday night. Luckily (?) I have had it several times now, so I know the symptoms very well. I was woken up at midnight with... well... let's just leave it at "symptoms that involved frequent trips to the hong nam (it sounds so much better when I say it in Thai!). An hour later I was visiting the usual doctor, getting the usual five different kinds of medicine, paying the usual 500 baht (US$12) and heading home. The entire next day was spent in bed. Since I caught the illness early this time, I only lost one day, even though a week later I still feel a little tired.
But now things are looking up. I turned in one exam today and the second is waiting for my collegue's approval. Also tonight I was able to finish my posts from Vienna (here and here).
I have a three-day weekend this weekend and a two-week vacation in October. That means I have two (yes two!) trips coming up in the next few weeks. Looks like better days are ahead of me!
Glad you made it out of Vienna! Eek to all the piled up work.
