Quarantined

So as if it wasn't enough to be left behind as my family goes off to cruise Mexico, I got to be quarantined to be bed for the last 48 hours. Why you may ask? Well that is what I was asking myself with the headache and sore throat until it hit me I might have strep. Since the health clinic was closed by the time of this realization, I decided to self treat. Grabbed some tylenol and then got some popsicles and cough drops from the creamery.

Then the next morning, being the big girl that I am now, I called to set up my own appointment at the doctors as soon as I could get in. Luckily they had a cancelation for an 11:00 appointment so I was going to miss dance (as if I could dance anyways!) and then had to walk my sick self to the clinic. That was fun.

In case you sensed the sarcasm there, I actually got something beneficial from going to the clinic. I got to be weighed and for the middle of the day with shoes and a jacket on, and still no Freshmen 15 for this girl! (Although I lost 15 lbs first semester, now I put back on some more with dance- you know how much those delts can weigh!!) I also got to see a nurse practitioner which was way cool since she did everything the doctor would do! She swabbed me then I went to the lab to get tested and sneaked a peak at my results on the way back. Strep Test A- Positive. Wooohooo! I actually was slightly excited because at least that meant meds!!

Then, also being the big girl that I am, I went to the pharmacy to pick up my own medication. (Which is now $7 without insurance charged to my route Y account Mom and Dad if you want to get that insurance info... so maybe I am not that big!)

Then it was back to bed. I like slept on and off for like four hours until I realized I still had to give my final oral presentation in English. Luckily, I think I got some sympathy points from my professor and she even emailed me after saying I did a good job so that was good! On the way back I treated myself to a Jamba (I was starvinggggg!) Coldbuster hoping that all that "Vitamin C" make actually make a difference. Then back to bed.

So now from being in bed I am both behind (need to make up a dance class and reviewing for chem) and ahead (in desperate housewives, blogging, reading the book of mormon- just finished reading it for the 3rd time! Well, need to go back to like 6 chapters in Alma my class last semester didn't get to!)

So hope my family is safe and having fun because I am sick and stressed :) Luckily today I am no longer contagious, starting to feel slightly better, and am going up to see Zorro with grandma and grandpa :) What is inconvenient though is now I have to come back Friday morning just because I need to go to dance cuz I already missed yesterday for being sick and am running out of time to make up 2 days!! So to make the hassle of this more productive, I think grandma C.C. is letting me drive her car back down to provo Friday morning so I can go to classes and then take a load of my stuff back up that afternoon. Getting a head start on packing will be nice for sure! Can't believe last day of classes is next Wednesday, then finals, then rushing to pack and catch a flight home then turn around to catch another flight to London! Holy craziness... But on the plus! I am not contagious!!! :)

Going to try to make it to my classes today. I woke up really early on my own today (8 a.m. haha) and still have an hour and a half left till Chem. Luckily its Thursday and I just have 3 back to back classes then a chem review so I am just going to try push through it.

Mexico sure sounds nice right now.
