Hello everyone,

This past week has been very uneventful. Why you ask? Well I have had a bad cough, muscle aches, fatigue and a slight fever since Sunday. I went to the doctor on Thursday and found out that I have a mild case of bronchitis. The doctor gave me some antibiotics and said I should be better in a few days. I hope so. I am constantly coughing and have no energy to do anything.

Over the past week I have just been chilling in my room trying to make the most of it. I have only left the hotel to go to class and the doctor. I have however got caught up on all my American TV shows and am starting to watch any movie from 2014 that looks decent.  My friends have been very supportive and come to visit me often. I don’t want to get them sick, so I don’t spend too much time with them, but it is nice to have some human interaction in my day. Being an only child, I am used to this alone time, and it has actually been nice to just relax and unwind from this nonstop adventure I have been having since I arrived.

My mom will be coming to visit me over Easter break (my spring break) and we have been planning a trip around South Africa. I’m really looking forward to seeing other parts of the beautiful country and its numerous wild life reserves. Other than that there is nothing exciting to report. I wish everybody the best back home. I miss you all!
