I woke up this morning and didn't feel like death, yay!!!! I think I definitely needed a day of rest just to stay away from as many germs as possible and hydrate all day long. My throat is barely painful now and I still have a little bit a of a cough, but I'm taking a general antibiotic that my doctor gave me before I left. Thank God for that one! I feel really lame because 1) it's our day off and 2) it's Friday, but I still think I may stay in just to get this knocked out. I would much rather be partying it up tomorrow on the streets of Paris for Bastille Day! So I apologize if my posts are a little boring for the moment.
I tried a new experience yesterday with the copious amounts of time on my hands. I did some laundry in the bathtub. My roommate Emily has been doing this for all of her stuff lately, so I thought I'd give it a try. I can easily say I will probably never do it again. It took FOREVER. I'm glad I had all freakin day because it almost became a 6 hour ordeal. Alas, all my clothes that needed to hang dry got washed and I didn't have to lug them around from the laundromat to my apartment. Now I guess I just won't wash these clothes again until I get home.
Besides this cold or ear infection or whatever it is I have, there is only one thing slightly bothering me right now. It may be because I've been cooped up in the apartment, but I'm starting to slip back into the homesickness. I finally got to Skype again with my mom and Andrew, and I just really wish I was with them. I wish I could be there for my mom as she has all of her tests done. I wish I could be there with Andrew as he's getting settled into Fort Worth before he starts med school. Maybe its for the best that I am gone though. I'd be contributing nothing and would probably get in the way. Especially with Andrew, I'm starting to feel needy I know he doesn't have the time for it. I miss my family and loved ones very much. I just need something to snap me out of this and get me back running around this city. Fingers crossed that it will be tomorrow and all the festivities that are going on!
As for now, I'm trying to focus all my energy on resting and finishing homework so I can bust outta this joint all weekend. Here's to recovery!
About Me
- Allison
- Hi, I'm Allison! I am a fun loving, adventure seeking, music and cooking obsessed 23 year old. In December of 2012, I graduated from Texas A&M University. This was a bittersweet achievement for me. On one hand, I entered the real world to hopefully out all my training and skills to use. On the other hand, I left the best place on earth where I had some of the best experiences of my life. Now I'm living in Houston working with Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Join me as I make my way out into the world without my safety net of college, and hope I can adjust!
