How did I spend my Independence Weekend?

Stuck in my apartment with Strep Throat! Not exactly the most fun way, but I certainly got the rest that I needed. And since I had a fever, I was plenty warm even though my apartment is freezing! :) It's definitely a different experience being sick overseas. First, you don't really have to go to the doctor. If you know what you have you can just go to the pharmacie and get medicine. It's so crazy to me that you don't need a doctor's prescription for stuff like penicillin. Second, I don't have a TV or DVD player yet so I just have to be sick the old fashioned way and either sleep or read, which is not near as fun as zoning out in front of the TV. Anyway, I just wanted to send a little update on how I'm doing and wish everyone a great Thanksgiving. God has blessed me with so many things to be thankful for this year, an amazingly supportive, thoughtful, and caring boyfriend; two great roommates that make living overseas a little more bearable; the ability to laugh at the crazy situations I get into over here; and of course friends who care enough about me to read my blog! I hope you have a wonderful day!
