So I've finally developed a full-blown cold, complete with chest congestion. I'm trying to take it easy, but that's hard to do when one teaches 6 classes. Taking a sick day around here is more trouble than it's worth -- tons of red tape and every class missed needs to be rescheduled for a later date. It's almost like they want to kill off foreign teachers or something.
But, my students are very sweet. They are concerned about me. One of them, upon hearing my croaking voice and my hacking cough, said, "Runningburro, I have some Tylenol in my dorm room. Maybe I could go get it for you?" Another wanted to make me tea with honey. Many of them told me that I should go home and get some rest -- which I intend to do right now.

The former native Chinese speaker swears by propolis (is that how you spell it? It's bee's wax ...something or other....) as a way to prevent colds. It seems to work for her, and I've tried it when I've started getting colds. It seems to help...
