Feeling like dirt

Last Friday I was sick. I was throwing up and having diarrhea. It was terrible. I stayed in bed all day. I was thinking of going shopping at the COEX Mall, earlier, but that idea died. I eventually went to the doctor. I was trying to avoid that, but I still felt bad in the afternoon. I went over. They gave me a bunch of pills and some packets of liquid stuff to get rid of the diarrhea. Koreans seem to medicate people a lot. I generally try to rely on natural remedies, but I really wanted to get rid of that.
Saturday I was going to go to the Filipino church. I hadn't been there before, but there were some people there I wanted to meet. I felt too tired and weak to go, even though I was feeling a bit better. I stayed in my room and slept or read. I took a bath.
This morning I do feel a lot better, thankfully.

Thanks. I am glad too. I am still tired a lot because I am finding it hard to sleep at night. A lot of it is jet lag, and some of it is stress.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
