I had every intention of updating here yesterday night, but I got in rather late and was very, very tired, so I decided today would be a better time. Had newspaper reading and grammar in class yesterday, and it was a little difficult to make it all the way through, just because I've been hoping for the end of classes for the week for a while. Haha.
Anna, Bart, Stacy, and a boy she met went out for dinner yesterday night, so Emily and I decided to go out down to Nevsky Prospeckt. We had a really great time, and found a lovely little coffeehouse/cafe place with upstairs outdoor seating. They even had wonderful fleece blankets in every chair so you didn't get too cold. I ended up getting a salmon salad, which was delicious. Emily likewise got a salad. We ended up sitting there chatting and such waaaaay later than we thought (thanks to the fact that it never gets dark here) and so we aaaalmost missed getting in the dorms before they lock up for the night. Luckily we didn't, and I went to bed quite content and happy.
However, this morning I woke up at around 8 (naturally, because I actually could sleep in today) with lymph nodes the size of golf balls, almost unable to swallow at all. I laid in the bed till about 10, and then finally got up to make some tea, hoping it would soothe it. Well, I've had about 5 cups of tea today besides all the other liquids I've been guzzling. Took some ibuprofen for the beginnings of a headache and I'm thinking it might have helped with the swelling in my throat? Either way, it is easier to swallow, but it still hurts. I'm thinking strep might have gotten me again. I'll give it a day or so, and if it isn't any better, I'll start one of my antibiotics. Other than that, I'm just a little tired, but I don't feel badly otherwise. So that's good.
Anyway, I should go study some and maybe run across the street to the store to grab dinner/more soothing drinks/maybe some cough drops or hard candy.
Have a wonderful day!!
