From January 10, 2008 until May 12, 2008 I am studying abroad through Simpson College in Seville, Spain. While taking 18 credit hours I am living with a host family, becoming active in the culture, using my Spanish speaking abilities and exploring Europe. This blog will serve as an up-to-date reference as to what I am doing, the things that I have encountered, and the experiences I want to share.

Know that I miss you all and I hope you enjoy the frequent banterings of my experiences in Spain! I will be home soon enough but for now...¡Hola de España!

Where’s Meridith When You Need Her?

Friday March 21, 2008

I’ve been lucky so far because I haven’t been sick but then again luck always seems to run out. Today was my unlucky day and I am officially sick. I woke up and felt like crap. I didn’t want to move, eat, and talk, so obviously something was wrong! I woke up said, “No way” and I feel back asleep until 2pm. I got up and ate a little something for lunch, and read for a couple of hours. Before Sam left to run she got me a garbage bag, a pack of Kleenex’s, throat drops, some medicine and a juice box for me from her stash from when she was sick. It was nice of her! I feel asleep again and just hung out until dinner. It’s one of those sicknesses where you just don’t feel like functioning because everything is a little achy. Oh, did I mention that I sound like a man? So my super sweet roomies have taken it on themselves to call me Manuel until my voice gets better. Being sick in the States is not fun but it’s ok because you can chill, watch a movie, hang with friends that feel bad for you, get special emergency doctors appointments because your best friends dad basically owns the pharmacy, and things of the such. But being sick here sucks because all you want to do is to go outside and explore but lets be serious, Spanish isn’t easy when I’m feeling good, I can only image how I sound now that my head feels like its stuffed with cotton balls! I’ve started taking some of the medicine that I brought and lets hope that it works quickly! I guess if I had to get sick its better that it’s this week when I don’t have school, but it’s still pretty lame.
