Category: There’s something in the air…and that something is sickness. I missed a majority of today trying not to unload my stomach, missing Economics, most of lunch, part of the guest speaker, all of the Culture Dash, and the trip to Burj Al Arab (although, if I’m being honest, I wasn’t cool enough to be invited as part of the first wave of party people. I would’ve backed out anyway.)
At first, I thought it was just me, but I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about people reporting various illnesses. Mine is purely stomach related, no flu-like symptoms. Others are complaining about more common cold symptoms. Either way, not a fun state to be in, especially out of the country. I’m hoping that mine is related to bad eating (looking back, the omelet I ate this morning did look a little suspect), and that tomorrow will be okay.
I’m not going to tempt fate and even leave the room for the rest of the night. Maybe I’ll write up my cultural disconnect paper, although that’s unlikely to make my stomach feel any better!
Anyone else out there that’s not feeling well, good luck on a speedy recovery. The desert is no place to be squirming for a bathroom!
