Feeling a Little Faint
So as I have mentioned it's damn hot here. Like I think 35 sweaty degrees during the day, this involves teaching in this heat. So the other day I had two classes
in a row. I was fine for the first class then I went to the second... started feeling a little weak, I excused myself and went outside to drink some water came back and got even worse. So I sat down. Had to explain to the poor kiddies that I was sick. Cause i was feeling faint though I couldn't go anywhere until I was feeling better - so i sat there like an eejit for 15mins while the kids where "Miss, miss are you ok?" I was gone all white, broke out in a sweat, and could barely talk!Eventually I escaped the classroom to the nicely air-conditioned headmasters room. Everyone was so concerned. Later in the evening I persuaded to have an Indonesian massage from the maid to make me feel better. This was all very strange I was rubed with a coin on my back, nice enough, little sore. However,later while I was getting into my pyjama's for beddie boys I noticed my back - looked like I had been whipped! I have been assured that it will go in a few days. Healed me right up though feeling wonderful now, still my fainting episode got me the next day off school and only in the 3rd week more sickies to come I'm sure! Looking forward to rainy season... Cooler weather please. Plus I get to escape to Ipung's cooler city next week as it's holiday time in Indonesia and Muslims will be able to eat like normal again :)
