I’m so drained… I think I’m getting sick. We went to Liz’s house yesterday. I started to feel sick that afternoon. I fell asleep in a hammock for a while which seemed to help.
I got to make my phone calls. I talked to mama for quit a while. I never got a hold of my dad, but I called Cathy. She was really surprised to hear from me. She said I sounded good, better than usual. I called Bre, but never got a hold of her. I called Danny and talked to him and Joe… awesome. I’m excited to see what happens while I’m gone and when I go home. I also got a chance to use the computer.
We took a really long bus ride to the base. I felt super light headed and nauseous. I fell asleep for most of the ride but it really didn’t help. When we got back, we had to organize our clothes before we went to bed and write our names on everything because we did laundry today.
When we woke up, we immediately began practice. I had a major headache. At one point someone was screaming at me because it was part of the drama and my head just got that much worse. Then I got elbowed in the head really hard. I was in overwhelming pain and could barely breathe. I just woke up from sleeping it off…. But now I’m nauseous again. Ugh…. We have free time for now though… but I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to last… I have no clue how long I slept.
