This is why you make your kids watch Dora the Explorer.

Some of you may have noticed the longest gap in blogging since November and wondered what was up, well I am still in Spain.
On Sunday night while my friends were going out I decided that I wasn't feeling well. The pain in my abdomen continued to persist and even got to the point that I couldn't move, so doubled over I made my way to the elevator to get a professor. We went immediately to the Hospital and eventually ended up having the worst morning of my life. The most severe pain, at one point my professor yelled for the nurse to get me more morphine, when the nurse told him that I already had enough to put a horse to sleep. While that was perhaps a low light, and after a minor surgery. The doctors are still unsure about how exactly to treat me. This scares me in the fact that if I don't get back to class by next week I'm going to be sent home, [set behind for graduation,grad school and so on.]and that right now they are unsure how long I'll still be in the hospital. I want to send two thank-yous out to the American teacher in the next room who is having medical issues as well, and my roommate(and newest facebook friend) that also has similar issues as me. My only regret is that I never learned Spanish as a child, and perhaps wonder if this were a french hospital the possibilities. SCAD has been amazing in this situation more so than I thought even. The vice President even called my parents. Right now I am doing 400% better than on Sunday. Have a smile, and am trying to addopt a new philosophy of "IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT YOU CAN'T WORRY ABOUT IT" As for know I will happily be sitting here as the world goes on around me learning more spanish than I've ever imagined, and thinking of all of you back in places other than the Barcelonian Hospital. Oh and on a side note a Spanish soldier died in Afganhistan yesterday, and most of you who know me know that I wouldn't mention this, but the national outcry over this one induvidual really puts things in perspective for me. Until I can talk about some of the more exciting points. I shall leave you all with that.
