The plague is almost dead

Today I felt much much muuuuuch better. I had an appetite again, my fever & headache were both completely gone, and I was able to help my grandma make Christmas cookies! I am still super weak, but that's what happens when you don't feel like eating for two days... But I am staying at home tomorrow.

It also happens to be my dear friend Kiley's Sweet Sixteen! Birthday shoutout to you:)

I also got to Skype with my family! *insert embarrassing screenshot here*-just kidding. I promise once I'm back in school the posts will become a teeny bit less boring. Promise. Goodnight!

Die, plague

Today I again felt a bit better, but definitely still nowhere close to 100%. I was hungry for the first time in three days, which was good. My fever went down more and the only thing that really bothered me was my massive headache. But tomorrow I might make Christmas cookies with my grandma! Yay!

*cough cough*

So today I stayed in bed again, I felt a little bit better than yesterday, and my fever went down and then up again... So my grandma gave me some medication. Usually I don't like taking meds for smaller illnesses because I think it's better for your body to fight by itself, but this definitely helped me, and I don't have a headache or a fever anymore. I have exactly 96.8. I also got to talk to my parents on the phone for a few minutes tonight-yay! Also, a giant congratulations to Papa & Brenda!

Yeah, it's definitely the plague.

Today when I woke up I knew I wasn't going to school. I had a massive headache, I felt all shaky when I stood up, and I had a temperature of 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. So I stayed in bed all day. I slept 11 hours last night and slept about 6 or 7 more today. But I'm feeling a little bit better than this morning. Looking at my phone makes my headache worse, so I'm going to say goodnight. Happy Thanksgiving! (It's not celebrated in Switzerland, obviously)

It's the plague

Today when I got up I already felt not so 100%. By the time I got home from school I was basically dead. I'm so tired, I'm going to bed at 8pm. I'm pretty sure the entire population of Zurich is sick. Ew. 

But singing was fun and I got a 6 (best/perfect grade) for my English participation in class.

Silly teacher

Today was another average day, except my math class in the morning was canceled 30 minutes before it started... And it was supposed to be our first day with a new math teacher. So of course I was already at school and I just had to wait until next period... Oh well. Everyone else in the class was there too. 

I also attended the singing workshop again, and I'm so excited for Friday and Saturday! Yay!

Singing workshop

Today was an average Monday, except after school I got to go sing for two hours in a choir directed by a man called Freddy Washington. He has done multiple workshop-type things in the past at the school I'm going to, and apparently this is his last one. So I got super lucky! He seems really nice, and what's best about the whole thing is that it's a choir composed of people who actually want to be there to sing, not because it's an easy A. The workshop is mostly gospel music, and it's every day this week with a concert on Friday and Saturday. It's going to be an awesome week.

Suuuuuuunday

Today I got up late & did chores & homework pretty much all day. My grandparents had guests for a few hours, and so I finally got to meet the adorable old lady who knits me slippers every year! Just because she is friends with my grandma she has knitted me slippers for the past few years and it's so sweet.

I also did a drawing (obviously inspired by the movie I saw last night...)
And I Skyped with the Katie Bug!!! Miss you, girlie! <3

Mockingjay!

Today I got up late and did assorted chores throughout the day. Then at 8 I went to see the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay Part 1, with my class. It was so good, even though it was in German... :/ I got home really late though... But I can't wait for Part 2, especially because I'll get to see it with my friends back home. 
Something that I found super duper wacky about the movie was that there was an intermission! They literally stopped the movie right in the middle of a sentence and started it right back up again after 15 minutes. It was so weird. The reason, of course, is money... Everyone gets up at that time to get popcorn and snacks and such. Apparently all movies here are like that. Gah.

Friday! Week 13!

Today was an awesome day:)

I wore a pair of jeans I ripped with neon tights underneath and I got a bunch of compliments, which made me happy.

So... We thought that our music teacher was sick so we left... Turns out he was just late. Oops.

Next week I'm participating in a singing workshop! Yay! We practice every day for one week and then do a mini concert on Friday and Saturday. It's going to be super fun:)

Also, what is up with Apple & my internet?! This is not normal...? Yeah, no. The update can wait.
