Just another day

Yesterday at one of my schools, I got a blood nose. I know, exactly what you want to read about.
I got up at 6am and caught the bus at 6:50 out to a tiny mountain school in the middle of nowhere with 8 students and a fantastic English teacher. I mean, this guy is great. He only speaks english in the class, he's patient and funny. And the students' english reflects that. They are really fun to teach.
Anyway, I'm sitting at my desk just going over my lesson plan, when my nose starts running. It's really rude to blow your nose in public, so I just keep sniffing. And my nose keeps running. Eventually, I start to get worried / annoyed, so I grab a tissue and wipe my nose. I look down and the tissue is red. Me being me, I didn't want to cause a fuss, so I just sat there with a pile of tissues until it stopped. It made me paranoid for the rest of the day, too.

In the end, I decided it was because of the stress I'm under. I mean, yesterday, I didn't finish until 2 o'clock in the afternoon! Hello? How am I meant to deal with that sort of pressure!?! But seriously, it's pretty good here. Everyday is different, that's for sure. Some days I finish around noon, others I'm still at school at 5. The worst thing is, I don't have a lot to do once I have finished lessons for the day. I usually prepare lesson plans at home where I can check text books and the internet for ideas, etc. but its really bad form to not do anything at work. My biggest challenge is not to fall asleep! Like I said: pressure!
