Hello hello, Im at a place called vertigo.
I woke up on monday morning with a sore throat and a horrible headache. As the day went on I got even more dizzier and had to sit down in the middle of production.
Production was lasagna with meat-sauce and ravioli. I missed out on much of the production because I was drinking water, itilian gatorade, and trying to rest.
I feel asleep in lecture, came back to the apartment took another 2 hour nap, went to dinner, walked through the market and was back around 7:45. By 8:45 I was in bed asleep. I didn't arise until 8 this am to the same symptoms, but worse.
When I got to school, I was feeling even worse than the day before. I told chef that I needed to go to the doctor asap. He called and scheduled me an appointment for after class.
I pushed through production but was on my C game for most of the day, a bit embarrassing. Today was olive oil day: we made bacalau (salted codfish) mouse, Ravioli with olive oil mouse filling, with accompanying sauces and vegetables.
After class I went to the doctor. It reminded me of a scene from James Bond, complete with buzzers and the english accent. The doctor took me back to his literal office where i sat at his desk, explained my symptoms and then sat on the examination table. His diagnosis resulted in an inner ear infection that was causing vertigo.
After going to the doctor, I came home cleaned a bit and headed out for family meal then went off to find a restaurant that was recommended. Some of the rest of the group wanted to head off somewhere else, at this point I wasn't feeling well so I headed back to the apartment. This was when my ADD kicked in and I came across a museum that was open and spent a hour or so wondering through then sat down outside for some live music.
Now Im back to my room, feeling a bit better, about to write some postcards then hitting the sack.
Until-
Matt
