Sick again…T_T
Yep. I swear I don’t get along with Korea’s weather, well not when it’s super hot or freezing cold. I caught a cold again. This time was worse like I barely wanted to go to work yesterday. I didn’t want to eat lunch. That and when a student pointed it out they realized that I’m sick and not just homesick. I was like -.-. So they took me to the doctor. Got a shot and some medicine. Shockingly everything was like than $7 and spent less than 30 minutes with everything. Now I know there’s a doctor less than 5 minutes walking from me. Woo~
I feel way better than yesterday but still kind of blah. Which sucks because I have a concert to go to Saturday that I’ve been waiting forever to go to. T_T Got my ticket and everything. But now I have the coughs again. Really sucks. I’m not in pain like yesterday though.
That was horrible. I couldn’t stand or sit long without being in pain. I was freezing unless I sat in the sun. It was a mess. They canceled my classes and let me go home to rest. I was so thankful.
This morning everyone was asking if I was feeling better. At least they care that much not to work me to death. They are good people. Though now they are watching me closely especially since my co-teacher said I’m homesick. I never really thought about it but I am. I mean I miss my family, driving, certain foods, my books, and being able to do simple things without feeling like I’m playing charades all the time. Then the holidays are coming up too.
Then they of course they said I’m still a baby. I’m the youngest (unless new dude is younger) out of everyone. AND I don’t have any friends here in Yangpyeong. Not one.
I know some people like the guy who owns my apartment, the furniture store, and the cell phone store but I wouldn’t say we are friends. I don’t even know his name. Banker guy is just that, banker guy we aren’t friends. I finally see some foreigners in the grocery store next door but we have never spoken to each other.
I met two pretty good people from open class that I keep in touch with and was introduced to two more people. But they are couples, so it’s kinda weird and once again I’m the youngest. I’m not use with being the youngest. Plus they live somewhere else.
Then there’s my closest friends here Keri and Narai. But they live in Seoul, I have to spend almost 2 hours if not more on the subway. That’s about it. I have a friend from college in Busan, but that’s way down south.
There’s no boyfriend, so yeah I’m kind of a loner *cues CN Blue’s song “I’m a Loner”*.
It’s not easy making friends in Korea. You can’t just go up to a person and start talking. That’s weird and I don’t do that. Ok new guy was an exception but I work with him…shockingly he’s the only person I actually asked their name at work. *sigh* the rest I found out slowly throughout the past two months. Plus I have horrible Korean and most don’t speak English or won’t speak it. So yeah, he was a rare occasion that probably won’t happen again. But there are moments where I actually sit and realize I have nothing so it makes me homesick.
I love Korea, I do but some times I wish I was home. I knew it would come, but not like this. Then the fact that I keep getting sick is not helping my emotions along with the issues of getting home (here in Yangpyeong). Being stressed while missing home and then weather I’m not use to got to me. *sigh* I shall go with the flow and see where it takes me.
Oh and new guy totally knows more English than he’s letting anyone know. I will find out…
Until next time~
