Day 20 & 21 -

So, I really don't have a lot to report for these last few days but here it is anyway;

Day 20 - I woke up feeling like utter crap, but Camille (one of my roomates) wanted to go to la sagrada familia (a church built by Antonia Gaudi) so I made the effort and got up early (early enough for breakfast! wow) but the guy at reception kindly told us that it wasn't open as it was a public holiday, saved us a long journey. So due to being incredibly sick, I went straight back to bed.

I got up later that day and spoke to Paul for a while online, and went to get a hamburger down the street. Then came home and went back to sleep. Then I got up later to go get cough medicine. Then came home and went back to sleep.

Exciting stuff.

Day 21 - Today was a bit more exciting. I had an AWFUL night last night, due to my nose being so blocked, I couldn't breathe properly... There was a lot more to do with phlegm and coughing it up, but I'll save you that story. I ended up getting about 4 and a half hours sleep last night. Which is exactly what my body needed... Note the sarcasm.

I woke up in the morning and decided I needed meds, but I soon discovered that EVERY GP in Barcelona was closed until late this month... The guy at reception told me, but I didn't believe him, so I called up some doctors, turns out it's true... I think this had something to do with the hospital telling me a few days before that a GP wouldn't see me, I think I misunderstood that no doctor was available to see me.

Anywhoo. I considered going to the hospital again, but after talking it through with mum and dad, I decided I would see if I can get over it without meds. (And save myself some money)

So I went back to sleep.

Later I got up and missioned with Camille to see la sagradia familia. It was a MASSIVE struggle, but I'm so glad I did it; (I booked this online, and skipped about 500 meters of line WIN for me :)

The pictures REALLY can't sum up how amazing this place is.

Camille happened to be completely hungover, so we were both on the same page with feeling crappy, which was nice. We got Macdonalds on the way back to the hostel, we both only ate half, and took the rest home. I finished mine about an hour ago. It was a large big mac meal, and it's the only thing I have, and most likely will eat today. I even had to struggle to get it all down, I've never experienced such a lack of appetite before in my life.

In summing all of this up, I'm pretty sick right now and everything sucks.... But I'm sure I will get better, I just hope it's sooner rather than later.

Wow, I can't believe I have written so much for literally having done nothing for two days...

Things that made me happy these past few days; Not very much...

Things that made me sad; Uh..... all of the above.
