My first cold/tiredness/being sick of food/lack of fruit/leaving all the pills (I'm not sure which one is the reason, they might be combined) is in progress. Having self-help coded by being raised in Poland (you don't go to doctors there unless you're REALLY sick), I've started popping Vit C pills and sleeping 15 h a day. It's the third day now and I've decided to try the last resort - antibiotics (no need for prescription, blessings on Afghanistan's medicament policy). Cancelled helluvalot classes coz I simply couldn't get up and couldn't picture myself in the classroom bubbling for one hour.
As always in a situation like that, all I want is to go to a warm place where somebody will take care of me (in other words - neverland) or to die.
All the darkest thoughts are being created in this state of mind so I really hope it's just a common cold and it'll go away after another day or two.
The weather doesn't help, as it's been snowing for the last few days (in the mornings/nights only, but still) and it's freaking cold outside. Inside the stoves have been already installed although they are operating only at night or mornings, when the cold is the harshest. For instance, at the moment it's around 3 degrees outside and the night will be -12. The altitude (2800 m) adds to the dryness and cold. So staying in a warm room is not an option, either...
From the more positive side; the local radio from the center of the province came to Lal come days ago and insisted on an interview with me, and my work here. Firstly, I refused (both, don't want to make this volunteering any big deal, and for safety reasons - don't reveal your identity or location to masses in Afghanistan), but then (being under slight pressure) agreed. The result was a lousy article with false statements (quite common in this field, however it was my first encounter with journalists and I didn't know somebody can lie that much), such as "the Farsi words I know are suicide and explosion (wtf?!)", "I've been in Ghor for 5 months", "I have brown eyes and green eyes" (lol, points for the vision of an eagle).
Above all, they have posted probably the worst photos of all the shooting (thanx!).
I'll post a link to it, although I don't recommend reading :P
