Day 17 - Barely Making It

June 17 – Barely Making ItThe walk to class is actually getting easier and easier by the day. But today, I should have known something was wrong. When I got to class, I was a bit more tired than usual. About 30 minutes into the class, I was miserable. I knew I was sick. I was cold. So I sat by the window where the sun shone. It felt better there. I took some Tylenol that I had brought with me from the States for cases like this. I thought I was not gonna make it through class. Anyway, it may have worked because by the end of class I was feeling so much better.

Boy was I wrong by the end of this day. I was miserable and my throat was hurting so badly. During dinner, I told my host mom that all I wanted was a quarter of the pizza because my throat was killing me. But she wouldn’t take that answer. Urgh. So, I put myself through hell and ate half (a medium) crispy pizza. I went to bed at 8:30pm after gargling hot water with salt, uberbrushing my teeth, flossing, and taking meds.
