I'm tired, nauseous, and eating for two. I know, dear reader, that you are wracked with worry and confusion, wondering what has befallen me. Am I pregnant, you ask? No, definitely not. How did this happen then? How did a young, strong, attractive law student hardened by a rugged life in the mountains of British Columbia get thrown on the mat? You guessed it, I have a parasite! It's actually not all that exciting.
I'll spare you the details - I already had to describe all my symptoms, tests, diagnosis, and treatment regime with my doctor dad. Suffice it to say that last weekend when my friends were hiking a volcano, I was shivering under three shirts at the first rest stop getting acquainted with the outhouse.
I've been on medication for three days and I'm almost done my course, so I should be 100% by this weekend. Thank god too, because we're going to spend 5 hours on a bus going to Antigua, Guatemala!
I've posted my friends' photos of the hike up volcan Santa Ana so that you can see what I missed.
