Trains, strikes, and cold sores.... Oh my

Okay, so yes, I'm terrible at blogging... My days just are not as exciting as everyone else! I'm in a school with kids from 8-4 daily and then all I want is to eat and sleep... But when I do get the chance I try to explore! 

Just recently we had a long weekend for May Day! My friend Jordan and I met Sarah and her friend Sophia in Amsterdam for a beautiful weekend!! The weather was perfect, and it was just a great relaxing time! Until this massive sore appeared on my chin. 



I know I know, that's gross... Trust me, I look at it everyday! This is the first time I've just wanted to be at home.  I know this sore should not ruin my time, but right now it's growing and spreading and hurts. Also, in Germany people don't really get when they're being rude/uncomfortable....so everyone stares and ask what is wrong and they just get all up in my sore, whose name is Bart.  Totally perfect name because Bart means beard in German. That what it feels like!  So usually I would probably be able to get this under control in the states, but here is sooooooo complicated.  I don't know what medicine to get so I have to translate everything... And hydrogen peroxide ( you know, that stuff you can find EVERYWHERE in the USA even gas stations) is only sold in an Apotheke behind the counter.  So now I'm stressing because I can't find stuff easily and I hate going out in public. This just sucks. 

Oh well, I started teaching this week......I have one class that just stares at me and doesn't remember how to do anything!!! Ugh, so that adds stress trying to get them to participate. Also, being late 3 times in one week has not helped! 

Germany has lovely public transportation but they also have annoying unions who decide they want 5% more pay so they go on strike.  Trains run once an hour (usually every 20 minutes) they're never on time or leave to early... UGHHHH  this week has not been my best week. 
I want to crawl in my bed at home and cry.
