picas, bum shots, & the chase.

Today. Oh my, today. What a day. First I woke up to look if my legs were any better. Turns out, they were worse. I got ready and went downstairs, and after about an hour of being awake, my legs itched really bad. By the end of school… which was a good time… the bites were really red and HUGE. And my legs itched all over. I went swimming with Marco and Ash, and we swam some fly and breaststroke. It was nice to get back in the groove of things, that’s for sure. Anyways, I got out of the pool and casi died because my legs itched so bad. They were really bad right after I got out of the pool. We decided we should ask someone about them… we asked Marcela and she said she killed the mosquitos. (which is nice, but I still had 50 bites all over). Here is a picture...

heres another one on my ankle... classy.

heres a picture of my arm... this one has a line coming off of it.

So we went to Hermana Stallings to have her take us to the doctor. She took me… it was definitely weird because I didn’t understand much of what he said. At one point when just Hermana and the doctor were talking, I asked Ashley what she thought they had just talked about. She was like, “Well, at one point I thought they were going to give you a shot on your bum.” We laughed at this joke because there was no way it was true. However, a nurse came in right then… needle in hand. I screeched a little bit, and Ashley started laughing hysterically. Basically think of Beethoven. I know, this movie is so ‘90s. But it is amazing, and it truly applies. There is one part where they are going to put down poor ol’ Beethoven, and (I think) the Dad pulls out this huge old shot and squeezes the liquid out the top. In short, it is emotionally scarring. Well, the lady did that. And she meant it. There was no Hollywood, no cameras. Just me and my fear of needles and shots. She gave me a shot… it was hardly my bottom… it was more my lower back. Anyways, she rammed the needle in… and Ashley was close to my head and we were just freaking out and she was laughing… I wasn’t really. I didn’t think it was that funny. But yeah, I got a shot on my bottom. In Mexico. How legit is that? Why you ask? It is because of some allergic reaction to whatever is biting me. SO yeah. Bugs bite me. The result is a big shot. Joy joy joy. After my shot, Ashley and I went home. Basically whatever was in that shot knocked me out. I was laying on my bed… and the next think I remember was waking up an hour later. Haha. Once I woke up I felt great though… and the bites stopped itching! We went to our Talent Show dress rehersal… I feel that everyone looks really good! I am super excited to do it! After practice, we started walking to the bus stop. I kid you not, a cockroach chased me. I almost died, so I screamed bloody murder. Apparently everyone inside heard, because Marco came to the window and was like “Was that you!?!?” with the most horrified look on his face. The scream had merit… the cockroach was huge. What was I supposed to do? Just look at it? FALSE. Anyways, we took the bus home… and I took surfing pictures! HOORAY!

Now I am home… we are going to wake up tomorrow morning to study and finish up our flan project. Yum! Have a great night! LOVE YOU ALL!
