There's No Place Like Home

OMG. I've been so sick. I've barely left my bed in the past two days. Yesterday was terrible! I was weak and losing consciousness and I knew I was going to hit the floor so I chose instead to lay down on that disgusting floor! Worst couple of days of life. Fever, chills, severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fainting spells. Being alone and sick in a foreign country is probably one of the worst feelings imaginable. One of my roommates was telling me that a friend of the director's died in a state hospital due to mistreatment. There's no way I'm going to let myself get to that point. I just want my mom and my apartment... anywhere but this stupid town. And oh, look, here's a great way to stay hydrated- we just ran out of filtered water and won't be getting anymore until the morning. So much for that! As for tap water, which isn't drinkable, it only gets delivered to Talara every two days. What kind of bizarre world have I found myself in and where are my parents?!?! I hope and pray I get better soon. This is harder than I ever imagined possible!
