So, interesting day.
Woke up early to go to the school thing. All the info I had was that I had to get a bus to a stop in Antwerpen, and then the paper said I'd get on a bus with everyone else to Vremde. So, I got to the right stop (I know it was the right stop), and waited by where the buses from Turnhout were coming in, because I took a quicker bus than my classmates - it would have been dumb for me to meet them in Turnhout and then go to Antwerpen.
They didn't show that I saw, so I started walking around the bus stop to find the bus to Vremde. I had the number and stop of the bus, but I couldn't find it. I walked around like twice looking at all of the buses and upcoming buses (this was a big stop), but I couldn't find it. I called the school asking what I should do, they had me give my number so my teacher could call me. She called like 20 minutes later, saying the bus was at a place like 400 meters away (Americans - think like more than 4 football field lengths), and she texted me the directions to go there. I started walking there, ended up coughing so much that I felt like I had an asthma attack, and then ended up having problems breathing, so I just went home. Had to call the school and my teacher again, they were fine with it as long as I called when I made it home so they knew I was safe.
Home, saw Patrick, basically summed up how I felt, and went to bed. Marcela woke me up around 1 for lunch, ate a bit, and went back to sleep. Basically slept until dinner, ate, slept again. Woke up for a little bit to chat with Marcela and some other people, decided I was still tired, and so I'm off to bed again. Such an interesting day. :P
Slaapwel!

Day 108
Dinsdag, 22 November 2011
Woke up feeling absolutely horrible, slept on the bus to school, and went to the Dutch class. A lot of the class was just individual work time, so I just did the assignments really quick and slept more. :P
Skipped lunch because I wasn't feeling well, and went to talk to the secretary. My class has a trip from tomorrow (Wednesday) until Friday - overnight trip, which I basically just got the info. From the way Patrick talked to me this morning, it seemed like we decided that since I have Dutch lessons on Thursday and Friday, and rehearsal tomorrow (and the fact I felt like crap), that I would just not go on the trip (and a few of my classmates agreed - they said the trip was basically a lot of talking, so I wouldn't understand). The secretary said fine, just have a note from your parents saying you have Dutch class, and it's all good.
So, I went to the library for the rest of lunch to hang out, and then I got a call from Truut. Turns out she was a bit angry that I thought I wasn't going on the trip (I left the paper saying I was going at home because it wasn't filled out and I thought I wasn't going), and told me that I was required to go and that I needed to go talk to the secretary again. So, I had to go fix that, and then went to my acting class and tried to pay attention. Did that, and then went home seeing as how I only had study periods left in the day, and one of my classmates said that there was no reason to stay if I didn't feel well and I didn't have class.
Home, ate a bit, slept for like 4 hours, had dinner, and then went to fanfare rehearsal. That went till like 1030 since we need a lot of practice before our concert (or at least I do), went home right away, had some food with Marcela, and got ready for tomorrow. I won't have internet (I think) until I get home on Friday, so I'll update again then.
And since I won't be home on Thursday, I just want to say an early "Happy Thanksgiving!" to everyone back in the States (or any other American reading this). I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with great food and great company!
