back by popular demand....

hey ya'll - well break was nice, but i am glad to be back here too. the way back to torreon was a long one, but i didn't mind.

i took a plane from philly to atlanta and literally had to RUN to my next flight which was across the friggin airport. that went to san antonio. from san antonio airport i took a taxi to the greyhound station and then hopped a bus to laredo, texas. by this time it was like 3am.... i was sleepy, but i was ok with it. when i flew home from mexico to philly i was really weirded out by the fact that i could be in two such drastically different places in such a short amount of time. i enjoyde the scenic route back. from laredo it was about 12 hours more on a bus. i can't imagine anyone that would ever be a good travel companion for that long of a ride, needless to say i was glad to be by myself. it didn't hurt that i was sitting next to a super cute lawyer that talked to me the entire time.

so i left philly around 5pm on monday and arrived to torreon by 2pm the next day. since then we have been doing nothing but catching up and getting ready for parent teacher conferences.

well that was last week, but this monday i woke up for school extremely itchy... by tuesday my whole body had broken out in a red rash. i clearly decided i could not go to school and was seen by a doctor. he gave me some allegry meds and was done with it. unfortunately, it was not an allergy to anything, it was my body telling me i had food poisoinung (salmonella) and a parasite.... yuck, i know... needless to sya the rash came back as it was not allergies and i insisted that i go to the hospital on wednesday morning.

so there i have been, in the hospital around the corner from my house, spending my days until saturday around 2pm. i cam home yesterday, but im still obivously not 100%.... the hospital care was phenomenal and the doctors and nurses were super nice and attentive which was comforting.

so i contacted my parents and the only thing that was really getting me through my first time hospital stay was thinking of my sis livi, cause she has been in and out so much of the hospital. she was keeping me strong. of course when i tell her on the phone she is my inspiration and i know i will be ok bc she always is, she responds "yea, but my first hospital stay wasn't alone and half way around the world..." haha, so much for the compliment.... it made me laugh :) anywho, thats what ive been up to down here.

great seeing everyone on break, i'll let you know what my plans are for after june as soon as i figure it out myself!!!! big plans for the next half of this year to come soon :)
