I'm a sicky

Saturday, September 6th—Wednesday, September 10th

So I’ve been sick this whole time. Awesome. But a few cool things have happened:

1-I found out that Pharmacists actually know a heluva lot about what drugs can help cure your sickness. But they apparently don’t know what cures mine…or how to give me proper change.
2-I actually made an awesome dinner on Tuesday (chicken stir fry… yeah, it’s easy, don’t judge me). It was like a Bob Ross Painting…everything just kind of came together at the end on this wonderful canvas that was my dinner plate.
3-I got to take a tour inside Westminster Abbey, and wooooof. It started to be built in 1066, so… 942 years worth of history in that place. Tombs of old Kings, Queens, Handel, Darwin, other neat chaps like that.
4-I straddled the Prime Meridian. Badass.
5-We tried to catch the mouse about 10 times and have failed miserably. This past time he ran out right in front of us, slipped around on the kitchen floor and flew behind the washer.
6-We got to meet up with a professor from IC and have dinner and tasty beverages. Good times.
7-I had my first euphonium lesson with my teacher, David Powell. He’s a pretty awesome tuba player and a great guy. Should be fun to study with him.

Hopefully I’ll become healthy again soon and be able to partake in crazy London antics. More on that later.


Friday, September 5th
I spent the entire day on the couch being sickly. At one point I took a shower and went across the street to get some medicine and food (10 oranges, 10 clementines, 2.75 liters of orange juice, and a liter of apple juice). The cashier did not like me very much as I was very out of it and wasn’t giving her the correct amount. At least it rained all day and was miserable, which made me feel less bad staying indoors. Also, we have a mouse in our apartment and Eric is going crazy trying to catch it, since it seems to fancy his room. We thought we found his hiding hole, but apparently that wasn’t it as Eric found him running around and complained about there being a rip in the space-time continuum.
