I "Got" Mono

Since summer began, I have been feeling quite under the weather. I have been sleeping a lot and not eating much, and those symptoms only progressed as summer went on and the date for my exchange neared. My family noticed, and was very concerned and had me go to the doctor. It was believed that I had mono- which I now know I do not. I talked with the doctor for a while besides that just to make sure I was alright physically before shipping me off for a year. The days following my bloodwork were filled with anticipation of me thinking I wonder what’s wrong with me. And there’s nothing wrong.

We have come to the conclusion since my visit to the doctor that I am just stressed. I am very stressed and have a lot to be stressed about. I just find that to be such a silly thing to be feeling so crappy physically for, and it annoys me that it’s bringing me down. Without realizing it, my business has definitely gotten ahead of me and worn me out. But unfortunately, the grind doesn’t stop. I still have a few stressful days left until I leave for exchange. Hopefully when I get to Peru and am able to unwind my work load, I’ll be able to physically get back to normal. The last thing I want is to be spending my exchange sleeping and not eating the delicious food.
