Kenya Update 11/10/09 - An Interesting Morning

I knew something was a little weird when I couldn't get to sleep last night until midnight. I woke up this morning around 6:15am and I just felt awful all over. Perhaps it was a tell tale sign yesterday: I was very sore all over my body, but I thought that was just from ODing on pushups before and after bed...but no. I'll spare the "oh feel bad for me" details, I spent the morning vomiting (but only 3 times!), riding the porcelain throne and sleeping. Just around 11:30 I had a big scare: I was taken with a huge case of the chills and dizziness, coupled with that feeling of "here comes an upchuck" as well as the very real need to empty my bowels. Luckily I was able to alight the toilet to take care of the latter of those issues before I passed out (I didn't actually pass out), and I sat there recovering. Now (12:30), I feel better, I'm able to sit up and eat and it seems as if the worst is over. I am definitely going to hit up the clinic after I print some stuff for class tomorrow. I hope I feel better for choir rehearsal tonight - get this: we're singing Christmas music the whole chapel on Thursday. What a riot, but they're some really cool Caribbean feel/west African feel songs that are about Christmas time. So funny. I might play my drum for one of the A Cappella songs.
So I was able to post some pictures I've taken since the sun has come out: they're not many, I'm at 20% of my Picasa storage so I'm aiming to conserve - though I plan to add more pictures of campus so folks can get a better feel for where I live! This first album is going to be an "updated regularly" album of friends I make.
Good People
Now the campus shots:
ANU Campus
I appreciate the prayers as I fight my way back to health!
