I'm sick!

Day 68 - Monday, June 7

I woke up this morning and knew it was going to be a rough day. No, not because I had a homework assignment for E40 due the following day. No, not because I had the Religion class essay looming over my head. It was more of the oh my gosh, I think I'm going to be sick kind of feeling. And I was.

Luckily my host family was not home so they did not have to witness me retching into their toilet. I then spent a very intimate few hours with their toilet. I actually alternated between going upstairs and lying in bed and hugging the porcelain. At the end of that ordeal main hurdle I had the option of trying to make it to school and quite possibly getting sick on the bus or staying home. I picked the latter and took a nice nap til 12.

But I did have to go to school, as I had lent Abe my E40 text book and had yet to work on the problem set. So I get to school all fine and dandy, but my tummy-tum-tum was still a little upset and empty as I hadn't eaten anything since dinner the night before. After finding Abe and starting work on our problem set, we decided to make a conbini run where I purchased some Mitsuya Cider (Gross! Bubbles.) and sesame seed cracker stick things. I had to forgo the ice cream to instead settle my stomach, but those two bad boys managed to do the trick over the course of working over the problem set. Which was not fun, nor was finished by the time I left school.

Home (stay). Shower. Dinner. Work. Sleep.

I woke up randomly in the middle of the night to the whine of a mosquito and decided I had to kill it. Two and a half hours, a few blog updates and an outline of my paper later, I have succeeded. I will return to sleep, now.
