Ugh.
It has been a few days since I last posted, but I have had a pretty good reason for staying off of here. I have definitely been sick since Friday afternoonish. I'll fill you in on the details, but I'm pretty sure the reason was because I have been running around the city on a Spaniard's schedule till the early hours of the morning, and not catching up on all my sleep, and just adjusting to this new setting. After I posted on Thursday, Megan and I decided we should go to the Sutton Club. We had heard it was an excellent, classy place, and since there was no cover charge...why not? We would just go for a little bit; plus, it was within walking distance. We went and danced, saw a few people we knew, but it was primarily locals. Before we knew it, it was five am. Haha, so much for staying for a little bit. On Friday I wasn't feeling too well, but I figured it was from the lack of sleep, but my throat also hurt. By Friday evening I really didn't feel so well, and Friday night...basically for the night and most of Saturday, I had the "I just got run over by a train and then set on fire" feeling. Flu, maybe? Not only flu, but also coughing and sneezing and sore throat and cold symptoms. It doesn't help that the cafeteria serves all greasy, weird food that is NOT appetizing to a sick person. Last night after dinner, Megan and I decided to try and find a farmacia, but it was closed. We went to the gas station instead and bought sprite, orange juice, yogurt, and cough drops. Now it's Sunday, and I feel a little better, but I don't know if I'll venture outside yet, unless it is to find food that I can actually eat!

And the guy at the gas station recommended "sweet cakes" for a cough! Who knew sweet cakes were actually throat lozenges?! :)
