resfriado

After years and years of being TOTALLY AWESOME, my immune system is failing me in Chile. (To be fair, it probably has something to do with the fact that I stayed out dancing until 4:30 AM on Friday night. Lo siento cuerpo!) All I have is a cold, but it is super boring because I've basically just been in my bed for three days in a row. Luckily, I don't have classes on Tuesdays, so I have the whole day to recover. I've been eating soup and drinking hot water like nobody's business, and soon my host mom is going to the pharmacy to get me some cold medicine. So hopefully I will recover pronto!

Oh, and if anyone wants to send me get-well cards/postcards/chocolate, here's my address in Chile:
Marie Schow
C/O Profesora Raquel Epullanca Oyarzo
Casilla 567 Centro de Idiomas
Oficina de Estudiantes Extranjeros
Universidad Austral de Chile
Valdivia, Chile

(I heard it takes 15 days to get mail to/from the US, so any get-well cards might be outdated... but still, chocolate!)
