It's official

Yup. "There is no doubt that you have strep throat" said the German doctor with certainty. At least I get meds, and the rest of the week off. Hopefully I'll be better by the end of the week though. I can't believe I got sick in like the first week that I got here. It was weird though that I got strep throat instead of pneumonia or hypothermia or something. I was looking stuff up on the internet afterwards too, because I have nothing better to do now than sit around the house, and found out the vitamin d deficiencies can lead to a lot of different problems, such as influenza or bone diseases and such. Scary. I wonder how they would write "Vitamin D supplement" in German...

Oh no!

Today started out well. We were able to get a ride to the PX where the shuttle in Graf left for Vilseck. The bus driver was really cool too. Even though we didn't have our ID cards yet he gave us a ride and even dropped us off right in front of the train station. The bad thing is though, that whole morning I had been feeling kind of sick. Then, while we were in Nurenburg, I was freezing almost the whole time. It was terrible. We got to see the Kaiser Castle though, which was pretty, and we tried to go to the Nurenburg documentation trials place but couldn't find it :( After that we bought some postcards and headed back to base. With a few minor mishaps. First we got on a train going in the right direction, but I guess we were supposed to switch trains at some point in time because we ended up in Schwarsdorf or something which was apparently really close to Prague. We got the trains figured out eventually but I was miserable and fortunatly we were able to get he guy who drives some of us to work to come pick us up at the train station. We were able to stop at the store after that and get some neccessary toilet paper and such. When I got home we took my temperature and I have a 101.8 degree fever :( Not really my cup of tea. Hopefully things will get better later this week. Till then...

I guess I should write a happier post

The rest of this week has been a lot better. I've mostly gotten over jet lag and have started working with the kids. They are... a hand full to say the least. I have been working with kids for like half of my life and I have never seen them as crazy as this. They definitely keep us busy but least at the day goes by super fast. The first day we were here we were able to go on a little tour of one of the towns around base. It was pretty neat. We got to walk around some and visit this cute Greek restaurant and a really nice little chapel that was super close. At the end we were able to go shopping for some groceries. I only bought a little becuase I thought we were going to have another chance to go out again and shop but now I don't know when we will be able to do it. Our PC is trying to figure out what the schedule will be for shopping but I don't know when we will be able to go out next. It is super annoying that we aren't able to use the commissary, after all, all the bases outside of Germany don't have that regulation, but the German market isn't that bad. It's not like the food isn't edible. It tastes fine really. Not necessarily any different than an American market. Plus it has a lot of American stuff too. This weekend I have to work Saturday, but I do get Sunday and Monday off. My roommates and I are hoping to get some cleaning done this weekend, and hopefully we will be able to go to Nuremberg this weekend too.

Uhhhgggg...

Ever since I got here I've been miserable. Not because of the cold either. It just kinda sucky. The place we are staying in isn't bad I guess. It's super yucky though. Like dirty everywhere. I'm super skeptical of the sheets, there is mold all over the bathroom, and the leftover food has "food poisoning" written all over it.
The plane ride was ok. SUPER long, and I didn't really get to sleep a whole lot, which was probably good for the jet lag, but it didn't really work out for me because the first night I was here I only got like four hours of sleep. Also, when we got on the plane to go to Nuremburg, we were just sitting in it for like an hour and a half until we actually took off. Then about mid way through the period of time where we were just sitting there, this guy comes from the back with a fire extinguisher. Then one of the flight attendants says that we will be delayed another ten to fifteen minutes because they were missing a piece of equipment... just what I needed to hear.
I have a single room so it's super lonely :( There are like yucky stains on the cabinets and dirt all in the closets and stuff. Feels like I'm in prison... think happy thoughts!
Today we have our first meeting. Hopefully things will get better. I'll write again when I actually have something good and interesting to write about. sigh....

I HATE AIRPORTS!!!!!!

Especially the Swiss ones. And especially when they can't speak English. First Camp Adventure gives the wrong number to call and then they can't find my reservation number or my ticket number. I swear, if I don't leave on Sunday the 16th at 7:45 pm I am going to throw a hissy fit. Well maybe not, but I will be very angry.

I don't even have my tickets yet

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! I should be leaving in about 2 weeks and I still have no idea what my exact dates are for my trip yet and when my tickets will be coming. Up until yesterday I was not really either nervous or excited. Now I am freaking out D: There seems to be so much I still have to do but I can't really do any of it until I can get more information from Camp Adventure which won't even get here until sometime this week hopefully.
I'm not so much nervous about going to Germany and being there. I am excited for that. What really gets to me is the plane flight. Who know what kinds of thing could go wrong there. Hijackers, faulty engines, turbulence, bad food, my luggage gets lost, I get lost.... aye aye aye. Plus what about natural disasters? (that's for you daddy :) Having faith that God will keep me safe would be a lot easier if I already knew I was going to live till I was 90.
My room is a complete mess. Half my clothes are sitting out around my room waiting to be packed, two suitcases sit open on the floor half full of things I don't even know if I will bring yet, and I still haven't even unpacked everything I brought back from my dorm. Ohhh procrastination.

My nervous face waiting for all of my information to come in before I leave.
