>_< COMPUTERS! - Thursday Oct. 18, 2007

One of my classes didn't go so great today! I have a second grade class that continues to get more and more disrespectful. I think a big part of it is because the teacher has all of the boys sit on one side and all of the girls on the other. The boys are the ones who don't listen. I'm working on figuring out that one. My initial reaction is to not allow the sexes to be split up like that.

I went out to eat with my host parents for lunch. My host mom came to pick me up at school, and we went to the same restaurant I went to for dinner last night. Today I ate 떡만두국 instead. Julie pushed back our tutoring time, so my host mom took me to the hospital to have my back checked out. It's not getting much better, so I saw the doctor again today. He gave me a prescription that I'm supposed to take, and if my back is not better by next week, I have to go back in. I had physical therapy which ended up taking too long, so I had to cancel tutoring for the day.

I found out today that because my host family and I share the same IP through wireless internet, their computer also caught the virus. It just randomly wouldn't turn on today. I'm not incredibly sure how a computer just doesn't turn on like that unless their computer had ZERO anti-virus protection. Anyway, I feel horrible!! I know I couldn't do anything about it, but I feel quite responsible. They lost files and pictures from about a year and a half!ㅠㅠ They're still seeing if they can save information from it, but the computer company and a friend of my host father already tried without success.

I spent a lot of today studying and hanging out with my host family. My computer is at school, so it was kind of nice not to have the distraction from the family. It makes me realize that when I have my computer, I don't spend as much time with the host family. I will keep that in mind for the future. I did, however, have to go in my room and shut the door when my host sister came home. I had somewhat of a stressful day, and as much as I love my host sister, she has the ability to stress me out even more if I'm already in a stressed out mood. She started driving me crazy today, so I decided to separate myself from her. There were times when my sister in the states would need to get away from me and vice versa, so I just see it as a normal sibling relationship. My host bro and I get along well, but I don't see him as much as I would like to. I see my host sister much more often.
