If you all were readers of my blog from Ecuador, you probably remember how sick I got. I was certain that nothing would top that horrible experience, but I was wrong. Friday after lunch I started to feel pretty nauseous, and then by the end of school was hardly able to think I felt so gross. The rest of the evening consisted of me getting sick almost every twenty minutes...not exaggerating. It was awful. I don't get sick very often and I especially don't get the upset stomach kind of sick, but this most certainly tops the charts. I had heard of a lot of people in the past having to go to the hospital due to dehydration after an extreme case of Bandung Belly. I was almost sure that was going to have to be me, because there was nothing left in my body, and just the thought of putting something in it made me get sick. That night I got a little bit of sleep, and the next day felt a little better, but still couldn't keep anything down. Spent the day on the couch watching a marathon that could have been called "Random/Awful Movies from the 90's." This morning I feel a lot better. Pretty weak because I have nothing in my system, but much better. I have never been that sick before in my life, and hope that it was the first and last time I have to experience it.
In other news, this past week was great! I took over almost everything except Language Arts. All my lessons went well, I think the fifth grade has finally figured out a routine that works. Next week I start my six weeks of teaching by myself...kind of scary, but I will be fine.
Also, this Thursday we head to the Sumatran Jungle to hang out with the Orangutans. We have all been taking our Malaria meds, and are ready for what will most definitely be an adventure!

Oh my goodness, Molly. That sounds awful. I am so sorry you were so sick. I couldn't be happier you're feeling better. Hopefully this coming weekend will make up for it all. Take care and have fun in the jungle!
