Last night, after going back to the hostel from Beacon, some of us went to find McGee’s. It is the bar that McLaren’s from How I Met Your Mother is based on. It is on our train line. Everything is so close here! The four of us had dinner, very delicious, from their HIMYM Menu. We then went to Karaoke across the road at Natalie’s insistence. They were private booths and it was fun, but I was pretty tired. We went home at 11. I went to sleep and woke up at 1am feeling really sick. I didn’t quite make it to the bathrooms before I was sick. I continued to be violently ill for the next hour. It was pretty scary. It seems whenever I get sick it’s pretty bad. The last time was in the UK and it lasted 7 hours, the time before that was Thailand for 3 days. So, I’m thankful it didn’t last long! I had to get in the shower to clean off, and was lucky that a cleaner was around to get me a towel. Not that he asked how I was, or if I was okay. It’s kind of odd that a male would clean a female bathroom. Even while I was in there, there must have been about 5 other females come in and out.
Anyhow, went back to bed and kind of slept. I woke up this morning feeling better, but very tired and with a tender stomach. Not surprising. I went and washed my hair properly and was getting ready to go with the rest of the group to meet Mark, but my hands wouldn’t stop shaking and I was really light headed, so I decided it was best I stay home.
I’m so annoyed and frustrated! I didn’t want to miss anything. This morning an artist was going to talk to us about her work and life in New York and America. I feel like I would have learned a lot! Grrr! But, I’d rather get better so I can go again tomorrow then be sick for the rest of the trip because I pushed too hard. I think I will go to The Met in the morning tomorrow before meeting up with the group tomorrow afternoon for a guided tour.
I’m just glad that I have been so busy in the past and seen a lot of shows outside of the tour so I can justify not going out today. I feel really guilty, which is stupid. I’m just over-tired and frustrated at not being able to fully enjoy every day that I have here. Well, will have to make up for it tomorrow!
Maybe I will go see a movie tonight if I’m feeling up to it. That’s my area of study and I wouldn’t have to walk far. See how my stomach feels later after I have some ginger ale. It seems to be helping. At least the sugar is helping, I don’t feel as dizzy.
Well, this is my depressing journal entry for today.
