Sick... :'(

Yeah that 'sore throat/cough' was definately a sinus infection. Yeah... well.

Thankfully, a Polish-speaking friend helped me get some medicine yesterday afternoon, and after a miserable day of still making myself go to classes today, I think I might be recovering. At least, I hope I am recovering...

I am not hacking up lungs anymore. I do have a fever, I believe, with no thermometer it's hard to be sure... but I do have earaches in both ears. I also have a runny nose, which is not fun in a country that does not appear to sell things like "Puffs Plus" lotion-y tissues. My poor throat is clearing up, which means that I am now able to feel how raw it's gotten over the past few days. And since all medicines- even aspirin and cough drops- are literally over the counter, and the people who work in these pseudo-pharmacies usually don't speak English, I might need to ask for help to buy a couple of packs of cough drops.

***Moral of story- Cherish WalMart.
And CVS. And Rite Aid. And Eckerd. And Walgreens.***

But good news. My last class of the week isn't until 5pm tomorrow, so I can sleep in (as always)!!!! :)

Then it's the weekend.
