Thursday, October 29 2009

So the week is at an end – a little bit later than normal with several extra classes being added. So too is the breathing of blackboard chalk. At least for another couple of days.

It really worries me. I wrote about it before; the health worries I have in China. Now this whole week I had to write with chalk and then erase the blackboard and now for the last two days I’ve had an achy throat with intermittent coughing.

Mahkam advised me to simply not write so much, but that’s not my style when I’m teaching. I walk through the class, I talk, I have students do exercises and I write examples and such on the board. It’s just what I do and it’s hard to change.

Meanwhile – though I might be imagining things – I’ve started getting winded simply climbing up the sets of stairs to my apartment.
