Now I know how Buddy feels!

I set my alarm with ever intention of actually going to class today, but I woke up coughing and realized that I would probably be more of a distraction than anything else. I then proceeded to go back to bed and didn't wake up until 12 ish. After some internal debating about what to do, I decided to eat some noodles for lunch, then go to get my graded paper, and to go to the store. When I got to the place where my lecturer said our papers would be, there were no papers there. I just decided to leave and wait to get it until class on Monday. I am pretty nervous since it's my first grade in Australia and they actually want to get just a pass and barely anyone gets what we would consider an A.

I then walked to Kardinya to go to the Chemist, Kmart, and Coles. At the chemist, I finally got the medicine that the doctor wanted me to get. There was a nasal spray, which has definitely help, unless it was just getting out of the flat, and some ear drops. The ear drops are supposed to numb the area so that it doesn't hurt. They seem to be working, but they are messy to try and put it. They also feel weird, so I know why Buddy always tries to leave whenever he has an ear infection and ear drops as medicine. My cough has also been getting better, but of course as I write this my nose is sniffly and I keep coughing! (also, my ear feels weird, but that's probably because I just put medicine in) I then went to Kmart to buy more fruitfuls and Kleenex. I also bought Shapes (a brand of crackers made by the makers of Tim Tams!) and some flip flops since I took mine to the outback and they are really dirty and gross now. My flip flops only cost $6, which is $5.40 in USD! I then went to Coles to go grocery shopping. I was going to get chicken only if it was on sale because I had some, and when I got there I found out that it was, but it was completely sold out! The juice boxes that I get were also on sale, but there was only one apple left, and I don't like the orange much, so I just got one apple and one orange. I also wanted to get some hard candies for my throat, but they don't have jolly ranchers or other hard candies like that here! I had to get a few suckers instead. Hopefully my cough will be ok soon.

As I was walking back, I saw Carrie and Corin, and they said that they were going to the store to buy costumes for the party at the Tav, the bar on campus, so I dropped off my stuff in my room and took my medicine. The theme was conquerers/conquered or something. I don't know, but I didn't go because I'm sick and that's not really my thing anyway. I came back and tonight I bought some old 90s boy band songs (I keep hearing them on the radio/stores, so I needed them on my zune), cleaned up some crap in my room, and ate chicken for dinner. Like usual, it hasn't been an interesting day, but at least I left my room!
