I’m Allergic to America
Literally. No joke. I’ve been here for three years and have developed two chronic disorders (one of which is a serious neurological condition) and possibly at least one of my wisdom teeth are starting to come out according to my dental hygene student friend.
I like it here though. Ain’t complaining of anything else but my health (and these damn mutant bugs). I got a year left, hopefully. So don’t bother saying “If you hate it this much then LEAVE!!” Because I AM leaving. No doubt about that. I’m getting my degree and am not going to look back twice. This doesn’t mean I don’t hate it. I have people that I love here and will probably visit a couple of times in the future and attend weddings and stuff.
I just thought it was funny that nothing ever happens to me in Kuwait, thank God. But it’s always over here. I’ve been to the emergency room twice in two years, nothing serious. Things could be a lot worse though. There was a Kuwaiti kid that was kidnapped some time ago. He was released safely.
I’m safe (generally, never 100%) here in this little college town. Where it is almost deserted for the summer, with nothing to do, everyone is back to their hometowns, I’m here, bored outta my mind.
The point is, even diabetics enjoy cake sometimes.
