I have an immune system of steel! or is it fly paper?

No idea if that title is funny to anyone else, but I was trying to think of something that would make things stick to it, in this case germs and viruses. :( So, as you can tell I am still sick. I woke up this morning and still did not have a voice. I have also been having a problem with eye goo almost keeping my whole eyes closed in the morning. It isn't fun and someone told me about the health centre on campus, so I may go there tomorrow after class. I forced myself to go to lecture this morning, and it was quite interesting. We had a guest lecturer and she was talking about the Indigenous people in the Pilbara and some places that I was just at on the trip!
After lecture, I went to the CIEE office to print off my paper and go to turn it in. It was a puzzle trying to find where to turn it in. Our unit guide told us to go to the History box in the Social Sciences building. I had never been in that building and didn't know my way around, so I ended up walking in a giant circle until I finally found it. I then realized that if I had just gone the other way it was right there! When I got there, there was a sign telling my class to not turn our papers in there, but instead to go to the education and humanities building. I had no idea where the box in there was, so I walked to were our class was and could not find it. One lecturer asked if I was lost, so I tried to explain in my almost-nothing voice my situation. She told me to go downstairs to an office and ask. I walked past it because I saw a sign that said something that seemed familiar from the sign, which was something about Media Communications. I then went there and didn't see anything that said to put it there, so I went to ask at the office. There was two women there and one said that I did want to put it in that communications box. Then when I got there, the pen to fill out my cover sheet didn't work, so I had to ask a lady in another office nearby to borrow one. Finally, I did get it turned in, though, so hopefully he'll get it.
I then went back to my flat and ate Maggi noodles for lunch and worked on uploading my pictures. I just got them all uploaded about 20 minutes ago, yes it took well over a day to get them up! I also took a nap before my tute. I went to my tute, and she said that we can pick up our papers tomorrow, so I'm nervous. Especially because during the tute she talked about all of the problems with the papers. After the tute, I came back and did laundry. I also made some more Maggi for dinner and uploaded pictures to flickr.
I'm now going to pack my bag for tomorrow and go to bed because I still can't breathe through my nose, my eyes keep getting that weird goop so it's hard to see, my throat still hurts, and I have a really annoying cough. Other than that, I great! lol. Hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep to help me heal.

I hope you are feeling better now. Please make time to get to the health center; you may have picked up a strange bug on your trip that needs medication.
It's too bad your professor makes you hand in your actual paper, it would make more sense just to email the file so you don't have to worry about finding the right location. At least you know where the place is for next time.
I hope you got a good night's rest-talk to you soon <3
