Alrighty so i made it through the food poisoning and and allergic reaction and the hurricane all in one piece!!! it was kinda fun went out and played in the rain some... it really wasn't that bad where we were San Carlos got it worse tho... nothing here is really too bad we have a hole in the class room rough ruff roof? lol HELP I'm so consumed by people making fun of how i say that word I've forgotten how to spell it THANKS MINNESOTA!

I thought I was gonna die

So we are safe in a hotel here I am in a hallway watching a guy bag it up..... so no worries about the hurricane....

but you know how I was sick with food poisoning... two night ago when i was trying to fall asleep my eyes were involuntarily opening and my mouth wouldn't shut it was a little weird and annoying but not that big of a deal....

you know me I am always in control of my body and know everything that goes wrong with it and almost always WHY! I need to know WHY things are happening to my body

well last night the eyes thing started and my lips were making a frowning face (all of this I couldn't control) and then my jaw started to clench i thought maybe I had lock jaw but then it started grinding my teeth and setting my jaw off center right for five minutes the left and I would bit down so hard it felt as if my teeth would break. my right side of my tongue went numb along with the right side of my mouth... then my right hand started to clench up (I remind you I couldn't control ANY OF THIS) So I was going crazy... when my throat started to clench i knew that was it and I needed to go to the hospital so I did.... the doctor didn't have ANY idea what was wrong but he guess was that it was my body had had a minor allergic reaction to the antibiotics and my body was getting stressed about it and thats how it reacted.....

if this doesn't tell you how bad I felt and how scared I was then dear god you don't know me all I heard was the word "injection" and I was on the table then Braidy was like ummm in your butt.... so I got a shot WILLINGLY IN MY BUTT!!!!!!!!!!

it kinda died down not the jaw part though.... I had to get a little bit of help from Wiley with that... had he not been there i am pretty sure that i would still be crying wishing my body would just give up and die

Wiley just told me that the hurricane is still category 2 and is going to hit land around 10 i think .... so we'll see how this shit goes down i will update you on that .....

basically life is way better today with the hurricane that yesterday with the muscle spasms

Saturday Caitlin B Sarah D and I went with our host family and they made us breakfast... i got super tired because I had taken my allergy medicine and had to take a nap .... then we helped make lunch and went to a neighbor's house and picked fresh fruit, mangoes, panomina or something like that, and guava.... we washed them and ate them it was AMAZING anf fresh SO SO GOOD!!!!

be had lunch at the beach and swam collected some clams and Scallops....I found a chocolate clam, hey are really good I guess, I wouldn't know....Lunch was sooo cool okay first off we made shade out of a fence the pickup and some random wood ..... then the grill wasn't working so we made a fire and a makeshift grill thing out of rocks so we could fry the fish... they know i don't eat meat so they made me spagetti!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woot!!!! went back to their house and did some karaoke that was awesome!!!!!

that night we came back here and I hung out with Wiley for a bit but it was late so we went to sleep pretty quickly

Marcela(my mom) was making for of me cause of my hick ups she says "you have a frog in your stomach" and then at dinner last night she told Sarah to find some one to kiss me so they would go away lol
