Worst day of my trip so far

First I didn't sleep very well and was tossing and turning all night.  I also went to bed around 12:30 and had to wake up at 7:30 for a 9:00 AM class.  I took a shower and went to class only to find out that the professor had canceled class.  Thanks for not sending anyone an email.  This was already my least favorite professor and the whole class is basically on the same page about not liking him...and I guess today makes it official.

I decided to go home because I had 3.5 hours to kill before a run that I wanted to go on at 12:30.  I got home and went to bed.  As I was sleeping I felt worse and worse.  My throat was dry, I had a stomach ache, and I was still tired.  My next class was at 3:45 and around 1:30 I decided I probably was not going to attend.  I went to the kitchen to find my Señora making some food and I explained how I felt like crap.  She made me some soup with noodles that tasted amazing.  I had about 8 noodles and some broth and realized I wanted to vomit.  The best part about throwing up was that I felt pretty good after but I just went to bed.  I slept for another few hours and was getting extremely hungry and thirsty.  I went to the kitchen and my Señora microwaved an apple for me.  At first I was hesitant to try it but it tasted like hot cider.  She said that the microwave made it easier to digest.  Apparently it was because after that I felt great.  Now I am still in bed and have drank some water.  I told my Spanish professor that I was sick and might not come tomorrow but I will make the decision tomorrow when I wake up. 

I also just checked Facebook a few minutes ago and 4 of my friends had the same thing.  One threw up in his backpack and two thew up in the IES bathrooms.  I am so glad I was at home all day.  I guess I knew what the cause is now.  All of us were at the same bar for the Super Bowl eating their cheap wings and nachos made with Doritos.

I did learn something today though.  First, if you feel like you want to throw up, just chug some water and get it over with.  I kind of already knew that and wished I had done it earlier.  Second, microwaved apples are surprisingly good and if I get food poisoning again that is what I will eat.  Third, I am so glad I am in the home stay so that mommy could take care of me.  Thanks for everything Adela
