i got some magic pills (aka antibiotics) and now i feel on top of the world.
except i still cant breath or swallow. and i seem to have lost a fair bit of weight. i weigh 107 pounds. i dont know how many kilos that is but thats what the doctors said.

woke up this morning feeling worse then yesterday. seeing another doctor today

spent the entire day in bed being very ill. ear doesnt hurt so much but my throat is very sore and im rather sick in the stomach. head is throbbing in my glands are way up. this sucks =(

have a very sore ear. thought i had an ear infection. checked out my travel insurance and it turns out that i can see a doctor. went to the doctors and she said my ear looks completly normal. which annoyed my because it doesnt feel normal. she thinks its allergies because there is still a fair bit of ash in the air after the fires. it hurts =(

did 100 laps of the pool today. waited till later in the afternoon to go. bad choice. oh.my.god. it was so cold. the water temp was 11 degrees. when i got out i felt like a bit of a loser for swimming considering how stupidly cold it was.

woke up feeling a little ill but thought it would be a great idea to run it off.
ran along the highway for a bit then decided to run up black mountain for a bit before i got sick of running then turned around and came home.
san diego is gorgeous. you go from suburbs with palm trees to desert and then back again in a strip of 100m. its pretty awesome.
=D

thanksgiving today...
it may as well have been christmas. we put a really nice aussie touch on thanksgiving so everyone went to be full and drunk.
by the way. the turkey took 5 hours to cook. what a joke. im not entirely disappointed that australia doesnt have a day when the whole time you are cooking but not really eating anything. all in all it took 9 hours make dinner.

decided that i would discover this place much faster if i ran everywhere. ran past this elementary school and realised that they call it elementary school. i think its the same as primary, but im not sure. ran up this road with an awful hill and then followed it all the way up to the top. it was a pretty steep run up and it took me a while and then when i got to the top i could see beach and a shit lot of houses. the beach is about 9 mile walk away. i think thats like 20kms. i might run there one day and get picked up on the beach cause there is no way im making it a return journey. i dont intend on dying on this holiday. tried a bagel. that was pretty exciting. the money still confuses me. i got a dime today and i was like umm... and its embarrasing inspecting every note. =D

C • broooooke! 4

thought i would write in this cause simon said i have to.
yeah in america and went for a walk/run this arvo with jordyn. apparently we went about 3 or 4 miles which i was impressed with. pretty sure EVERYTHING here is for convinience. and there is fast food and coffee EVERYWHERE. went into the local supermarket yesterday and there was a bank, a pharmacy and starbucks, within the supermarket. went into wal-mart today and there was a mcdonalds. also shocked at the price of petrol/gas. over $3. i was so shocked i took a photo and then this guy laughed at me. its also not cold at all. shorts and t-shirt weather.
