Countdown to departure: 3 days
Countdown to culture shock: 188 days
Most of the posts I've thought about making on here (and I imagine most of the posts I actually made) have either been about my emotional state or vaguely worded revisitings of the plans I've been struggling to make. Now, with three days to go, job quit, visa obtained, medical insurance (almost) purchased, I actually (maybe) have something substantial to report: I fear I'm getting sick.
It's a wonder my immune system has held out so long, battered internally by the upheaval of the past several weeks, and externally from working in a pharmacy (for crying out loud). And now, alas, I went to bed with a sore throat and have woken up with a moderately sorer one. So with this and this and a bit of this, I'm doing this and hoping I don't have this.
