I am alive...Kinda...

So I was legit dying from Tuesday to today (Saturday). I'm basically all better now, although still have a hacking cough. Avian flu? Maybe.

Anyway, I have self-medicated on antibiotics (thanks Dr. B!), which, while totally the right choice, also lent itself to an issue when I called the clinic earlier this week to try to schedule an appointment to come in.

Me: Ummm...Hi. I'm a student at IES and I'm really quite sick. Constant runny nose, hacking cough, nausea...etc etc etc. I have started on Z-pack. When can I come in?
DR: Don't bother. That's what we'd prescribe for you...sorry, not much I can do.
Me: UGHHHHHH. (Making dying sounds)

But whatever, alls well that ends well and I was able to do today's activity. --->

Yes. I went biking in Beijing. And almost died. But...I'm alive. It was pretty good too...except that now my butt feels like I was riding on a cheese grater. First my feet, then my butt. Bu hao.

Anyway, we took a tour of the area around us, then we went to some hutongs around the HouHao/BeiHai area. Its was pretty good, minus the time that I almost got hit by a bus...and a taxi cab...at the same time. Oh well. I normally make good life choices. I guess one choice out of thousands isn't that bad.

OK, more tomorrow.
