Sick of being sick

I have spent a lot of time in bed this week, more than I would like to admit. Luckily I have the excuse of being sick, but I think had I had that time for any other reason, I might have spent it the same way...at least for the first 2 days. I started feeling better yesterday, so I decided it would be a good idea to hang out with some friends and see McLovin's band perform in North Beach. (Chris Mintz-Plasse is the drummer in The Young Rapscallions, he also played in Super Bad and Role Models and his brother went to Fresno State, so we have mutual friends) Well, I can't talk now. I lost my voice and I sound ridiculous. Maybe not such a good idea, especially since I am leaving in about 36 hours for London!! I hope I have my voice back by the time I get there so I don't have to explain it to anyone. People tend to look at me as though I am a bag of germs once they hear me talk, not the funnest experience.

I finally got my laundry done and now I have a pile of clothes and miscellaneous items that I need to pack into a suitcase. I always worry that I will forget something. It's especially bothersome when I think about the fact that everything is almost twice as expensive in England. I'd rather not have to buy deodorant there when I already have a stick here! I bought a voltage converter yesterday on a whim. I realized that I will need decent looking hair to feel confident in public, so the Chi straightener is coming with :-) I will have internet access nearly the whole time I am away, so I'll do my best to post random tidbits and photos while I am away! But now, I must sleep, because 6:30am comes quickly!

Good night!
