Sick

Well it's noon here, 4 am CO time. You might be asking "Annie, why are you posting when you should be in school?" Great question. I'm sick. :P
The last time I got sick and had to stay home from school was in the 7th grade when I got the flu. At least I think so. See, that's how long it's been since I've stayed home from school.
It all started Saturday night. I'd gone out with a friend and we met up with more friends and had a great time. I mean it was a great way to celebrate 5 MONTHS! in Italy. I came home with a headache and I thought nothing of it. Then Sunday morning I woke up with the same headache and ignored it as I went to my second host brother's soccer game. They won, 4-0. Plus I got to see my classmate who's the goalie on their team. He's really good and I asked him if he wanted to come back to Colorado with me to play with the Huskies. Haha. I had lunch with my second host family because it was also my host brother's 17th birthday. By the end of lunch, my head was dying and I just felt like crap. So I went home and slept for a good 2 hours. I didn't really eat and it was decided that I would be staying home from school. I also had a fever.
I'd like to call it the fever of D'Annuzio. All my friends have had it, Nicola had it last week and honestly it's just going through all the high schools in Gorizia. So let's call it the fever of the teens of Gorizia.
Today, I feel better. I'm still not eating a lot and my head still feels like exploding when I listen to anything that is not silence. Okay, so maybe it's not 100% but we're getting there.
Sunday, I have a cross country race (hoping I'm still not sick) and then Friday night, I've been invited to dinner with my tutor. (Again, hoping I'm still not sick.)
This has been a public service message from a sick exchange student. Ciao!
