Sept. 24, 2012
Woke up this morning and my throat was completely raw. It
hurt to swallow and felt like I hadn’t had a drink of water in 6 months.
Apparently, I have not improved. I went to class anyway. Today, the teacher had
four tables set up each with a different worksheet. We had to work our way
around the room. It was a good review for our final exam on Wednesday. We also
ended class early for yet another assembly. This time, it was with the head of
the language division and he told us about the language courses being offered
this semester. I also found out
that I am not the only sick person in the international student group. During
this assembly there was a lot of coughing, wheezing, sniffling, and nose
blowing. I counted at least 10 other people who seemed to be suffering from
something. After this, I went to the library to check emails. I had planned on
going in to town to get cough drops, but started to feel really drained.
Luckily, I had asked Sarah if she had any leftover medicine from when she was
sick, and she gave me a lot of stuff. I decided on going to the Lidl (the
grocery store closest to campus). I got orange juice, chicken soup, and some
sort of cough drops called Fisherman’s
Friend.
They aren’t Halls or Ricolla, but they get the job done. I
also splurged on some sweets. I walked through the aisle and they caught my
eye, I thought to myself, I feel like crap, these look delicious,
they’re on sale, I’m getting them.
They turned out to be really good, and maybe the orange
filling will boost my Vitamin C level. I also opened my second Kinder Egg
today, and since I know you are all dying to know what the prize was, I took
some pictures of that as well.
Luv me buddies? Definitely not as cool as my wolf, but it
entertained me for five minutes (it was a hard puzzle, ok?) That's if for now, Schüss!
German Word of the Day: Der Orangensaft- “Orange juice” If
you just brushed your teeth, don’t drink der Orangensaft.
