My immune system hates me
March 25, 2009
Soooooo I’m sick. Again. Quite badly so because it’s developed from a sinus infection I had for like… three months and ignored ;D now it’s spread to my throat and my whole head feels slooshy and crap. End whine. Onto the good things!
Providing I get accepted into the program, I’M GOING TO ECUADOR!!!
there’s no guarantee I’ll get a placing but I really desperately want to. It sounds incredible. We’ll be right in the amazon rainforest building freshwater pipes for a really remote village. So remote, in fact, that we’ll be taking canoes every morning to get there. COOL OR WHAT?! After the volunteer work, we also get to do:
1) a night time canoe ride to see the rainforest at night
2) a guided tour with a biologist who can point out all the different wildlife and plants, and also owns a butterfly farm with over 55,000 species. WOAH
3) Visit a wildlife rescue centre (STEPH’S DREAM COME TRUE!!)
4) go white water rafting (yeah not sure about that haha)
and various other super-super-super awesome things I can’t remember right now because I’m half asleep. But I’m so excited! Apparently there’s monkeys running around everywhere there – you gotta be careful they don’t steal your camera XD
On the note of cameras, I got a new number today. I sent it out to almost everyone on my contact list, but if I missed you just let me know. Oh and tell me if you’re on Virgin Mobile, cos if so I get free calls and texts to you
basically I went with a plan where I pay almost the same in what I do in credit every month (only plus $10 for insurance, because I know I’m prone to breaking phones) but get a phone in the bargain. And I get as much credit as I do with my prepaid turbocharge, so I’m pretty pleased. I can’t really use it much till the bill resets on the 10th though, because it took almost all my credit to send out that mass message with the new phone number X_X I’m gonna KILL anyone who I sent it to who doesn’t bother to save it
Erm what else? Uni sucks. Still. Hate it -stab-. And I still can’t stay awake during lectures -_-; on the plus side, finally got my laptop working there so I FINALLY have the internet. Oh and I have a reference for job hunting from the head of the english department
booyeah. Woot for padding out the CV even more.
And in spite of how cheerful this post sounds, I actually feel really bloody awful right now. Which just goes to show how stupid I am.
Night!
hey Steph,
that sounds really amazing. What program is it, when would you leave and when do you find out? Hope you get it, sounds like it would be unbelievable. I hope you have a speedy recovery. miss you xx
