100 days

Today I only have 100 days left. Every time I think about leaving Turkey, I start to tear up. It's going to be really hard to leave, and it's crazy to think that I'll miss Izmir this much. I'm going to try to do something new each day I have left. We'll see how far I get haha!

So a couple of weeks ago, Luke Grigg came to Izmir for a couple of days. We had a lot of fun and I think he really liked it here (success! haha). We took a trip out to Ephesus and I've got some pictures from that.

My Hospital Run-in

So my immune system decided to take a break on Friday. I came down with a small fever that by Saturday morning had turned into a fever of about 103 F. After trying to bring it down all day, at about 5 o'clock my host mom took me to the hospital. They gave me an IV and took an X-ray of my chest to make sure I didn't have an infection in my lungs, and then I sat in the hospital for about an hour hooked up to the IV. IVs feel really funny. There's something about them that makes your arm feel super weird. You can feel the liquid draining into your arm and your arm starts to feel a little useless. The IV did bring my temperature back down to normal so I don't have a fever anymore. Now all I have is a cough, stuffed up head, and pretty cool first time having an IV experience. I figure I'll be back to normal in a couple of days but until then it's movie marathons and mid-day naps for me. :)
