It was just as I had feared. Oh well, I know I couldn't avoid a sinus infection for much longer. I'll spare you the mucousy details, but I was just feeling, for lack of a better word, icky. On Wednesday I was very low energy and the same on Thursday with the addition of feeling lightheaded. Amy (the program coordinator) heard me saying I wasn't feeling well and she got me a doctors appointment for the very next day! Since we first arrived, they've been telling us to be extra cautious when we don't feel well because Madrid is so contaminated. This doctor, unlike the doctors at UHS, understood me saying that I have a history of sinus infections ans this is always how they start. I got a prescription for 24 doses of Augmentin and some fizzy tablet that he said had properties of Mucinex and acetaminophen. I went to the "farmacia" on the end of my block not sure how long I was going to have to wait or how much I was going to have to pay. To my great surprise, I didn't have to wait at all! And they charged me €9.58/$13! I know its payed for somewhere else, but theres socialized medicine for you (I think...).
I am feeling much better now, but I had all these grand plans for studying that has not gotten done. However my body was telling me I needed to rest as much as possible. I'll get back on the study train tomorrow, my exam isn't until the 11th.
Classes start tomorrow for Reunidas, so there will be an update about that. Wish me luck for getting up on time for my 8:30 class. ¡qué asco!
Besos!
