I'm Sick as a Dog

---

So since I've been progressively getting sicker and sicker, I finally decided on Monday that it was time for me to see a doctor. And my only options for seeing a doctor were to go to a hospital. The hospital was only about 5 minutes away from my apartment and it was really nice. I went up to the floor where they had regular medical service and I had to check in and fill out some paperwork. A nurse took me into a room to ask me some questions and then after waiting a little while longer I went into the doctors office for the exam. Unlike in the US, the doctor's exam was just him sitting across from me asking me questions. He listened to my breathing, looked down my throat and poked my stomach but that was it. After addressing all my symptoms he prescribed me a bunch of medication and that was that. I paid cash for the visit (only about $80 for doctor's visit and prescriptions). I've been on the meds for 2 days and they're slowly beginning to work but I still feel miserable. I took today off from school to rest and try to get back to normal.

Outside of school and being miserably sick not much is going on. I finally took over completely authority over 2 of the classes I'm in so I'm at least teaching a little bit now. I don't think I have anything else to write about now and if I did, I'm too tired to write it.
