Rugby is not a cure for a chest infection

In writing my last blog post, I managed to miss dinner. I therefore had to try and put some food together out of cereal, yoghurt and an orange. Nutritious!
My sister came to the rescue with the legal system dilemma and she provided me with an outline and a handful of interesting facts. I say interesting, the class looked horrendously bored the whole 10 minutes. Another teacher has asked if I'll do a class on the UK legal systems. Why are they so interested???
I only had morning classes and so used the time to catch up on some sleep. 8am starts are not conducive to a full 8 hours sleep. I'm surprised I wasn't horrendously grumpy with my classes!!
In the evening, I went for dinner with the assistants in Dornbirn, which was followed by a few drinks and a lot of drawing on people. There were various designs, all pretty random. I mean the dark mark (Harry Potter) topped with a hat, plus I have no idea why I wrote a bible quotation - I'm certain there was a reason! It was a fun evening, even if I ended up getting a much later train than planned.
Surprisingly I was up extra early for my 8am start giving me enough time to actually enjoy breakfast rather than gulp down some coffee (eurgh) and take a few bites of some breakfast item. This is usually to go. I have no memory of that class now though. How odd.Oh Thursday was the day with all the rain! I don't think it stopped all day! I enjoyed my afternoon class though. The first thing one boy said was that they had told their teacher we had talked about projects rather than playing games on Tuesday. Haha. Bless! Given the date, I went with the topic of alcohol/drinking. They didn't appreciate Michael McIntyre as much as I'd hoped, or at least the first group didn't.
 I went in to town to try and sort some things out, also to pick up my foreign newspaper. I didn't get paid but I went to ask when I would get paid. Originally they said it wouldn't be until April but I talked them into paying me next week. I just have to provide a copy of my passport. I was sure that had been done already. The schools definitely have one. However, I'm taking it into my own hands and taking it down personally.
Maral and I went for dinner which was nice. I've barely seen her all week. Some of the assistants were all meeting up that night but I really wasn't feeling great and wasn't up to making the effort to catch a bus.
I may have felt a little poorly yesterday but I woke up today feeling like there was a sumo wrestler on my chest. Possibly an infection. I will not be going to a doctor in fear of being given some foul medicine (Beijing 2008 - scarred for life by that 'medicine')
After a quick jaunt to the supermarket this morning, I've spent today wrapped up in layers, if not my duvet, doing a bit of work and watching the rugby. Yelling does absolutely nothing, it just makes me cough more :( kinda worth it though, because Scotland won and England aren't getting a Grand Slam. Get in.
I might snuggle up with chocolate and a film now.
