SLEEPLESS and Pirated Movies!

It's now been two days since I arrived home from the Hospital- I'm no longer having "loose motion" or bad stomach pains, but I'm still feeling a little bit weak and VERY MUCH drowsy. For the past two days I've been trying to sleep as much as time allows, but to no avail. I feel pretty awful, and I'm really tired but for some reason my body won't let me sleep!
Yesterday (after laying in bed trying to sleep all morning) I went out with my host mother and brother to get a few last minute things before he takes off for exchange in Phylomath, OR on Sunday. It was a holiday- Krishna's birthday, so all of the stores were crowded with people, trying to take every advantage of the discounts being offered. We spent a few hours looking around for things like white T-shirts, gifts, etc. and then we stopped by the Secretary of the Coimbatore Rotary Club's house to see a design he had created to be printed on my host brother's T-shirts. When we arrived at his gate (a large, red metal one) there were two painted figures that looked something like feet painted at the entrance. When we pushed the gate open, I discovered that there were in fact lots of them painted all along the walkway. My host mother noticed that I was confused and so she told me "those are Krishna's footprints." Later I found out that Krishna is in fact a baby God and his footprints were painted on the walkway to show that Krishna had entered the house, and therefore had brought good luck to the owners.
We spent the rest of the day running errands, stopping only to have some lunch in the same restaurant I first went to while here in Coimbatore (and now I can remember the name!)- Annapoorna. It's a vegetarian restaurant that is famous for it's good food- both of my host parents love to go there! Since I had been sick, I decided to just eat some plain things; I ate some tomato soup, and a perota (pear-O-ta, I don't know about the spelling) which is a thick, doughy bread that is REALLY good!
When we got home at 7:00 p.m. I told my host mother that I needed to sleep if I was going to go to school the next day (my biology class was taking a field trip to a poultry farm). She agreed and allowed me to stay home and rest while they went to some one's house for dinner. Unfortunately, even though I was DEAD TIRED and took a sleeping pill, I couldn't sleep. I layed in bed with my eyes closed for hours trying to get myself to drift off, but it didn't happen. When time came for me to get up to go, my host mother asked if I had slept and I told her no. She allowed me to stay home for the day and try to sleep some more. I layed in my bed for hours this morning, and I only slept for about thirty minutes. This sickness has weakened me quite a bit, and I know that I need to sleep it off but I'm having a really difficult time. When I finally did get out of bed, Surya and I decided to watch a pirated copy of Lord of the Rings that I had bought a few days ago. Halfway through the movie it started freezing, and when I took it out to look at the disc, I discovered that an entire portion of the CD looked like it had melted! Well, that's pirated movies for you- you never know exactly what you're paying for!
