Journal for 2005-10-5 Wed..
Weather: Cloudy   Plan: Akana Ele.

I had a cold on Friday, but it hadn't turned bad yet. The kids at Akana Ele. were just as hyper as the kids at Kijima Ele. I had a lot of energy when I was teaching classes, but during the breaks, instead of playing with the kids I rested in the teacher's room. Teaching at elementary schools is my favorite part of the job, so next year I am going to try for an elementary school-only ALT position. I'll do my best next year, too!
Monday was my super cold day! I felt fine in the morning...or so I thought! I was teaching the 9^th graders in the 1^st period when suddenly I got a headache, and a fever. The Cold demon hath returnth! 2nd period was free for me, but I sat at my desk just getting worse. I had a temp. of 37.5 degrees so I went home for the day. I went to see Dr. Wada in Akana. In the afternoon all I did was take my meds. and sleep.
Tuesday, my cold was slowly fading away. I only taught one class, but for saftey's sake I went home after lunch. I have lost my focus this week. I want to study hard like I did in summer vacation starting next week. My plan to become a Foreign Service Officer seems like a a dream of the distant future, so it is difficult for me to continually pump myself up for it.
Today was the City/County New Player Sports Tournies so only the Brass Band students and the 9^th graders came to school today. I still have a cold, but my fever is gone, my head feels OK, and I have stopped sweating as much. The medicine that Dr. Wada gave me really seems to have helped, although it tastes pretty disgusting. I have stopped exercising because my stomach still hurts, but if I am feeling better tomorrow, I will start it up again.

平成17年10月5日の日記
天気: 雲　行事: 赤名小

金曜日、風邪を引いていたけどまだ大変ではありませんでした。赤名小学生は来島小学生と同じ元気いっぱいです。授業で僕は高いエネルギーで教えたが、休み時間子どもと遊ぶの代わりに職員室で休憩をしました。小学校に行くときはとてもたのしいから来年度島根県内小学校ALT仕事がほしいです。来年度も頑張ります！
月曜日はスーパー風邪の日でした！今朝、気持ちがよかった…と思いました！１時間目３年生の授業中当然に頭痛があったり、熱があったり、風邪の鬼を帰りました！２時間目は休みが机でダンダン悪くなりました。体温は３７．５度なので家で帰りました。赤名の和田先生に行きました。午後、薬を飲んだり、ずっと寝ました。
火曜日、風邪はダンダン亡くなりました。一つの授業だけを教えたけど安全のために昼のあとで家に帰りました。今週フォーコスが余りありません。もし、来週夏休みと同じ一生懸命に勉強したいです。僕の外交官の予定は遠く未来みたい夢なので、毎日ずっとわくわくするのが無理と思います。
今日は市・郡新人戦なので吹奏楽部と３年生だけ学校に行きました。まだ風邪を引いているけど熱がなくなったり、頭が全然OK，と汗が出ないです。和田先生にもらった薬は本当によかったと思うけどちょっと気持ちが悪いです。まだ原が痛いのせい、運動を止めるがもし、明日元気になればもう一度やります。
