Sick

Sorry I haven't been able to post the second half to the conference. I am very sick still. I almost wasn't able to post this. I don't want to be on the computer that long anyway, so I don't get Mom sick, I think I already gave Dad a present he didn't want.

At The Conference (part one)

Up in Salem at my dads church, I went to a youth conference. On the morning of our departure I realized I had a sore throat which went away after about an hour, so I thought that it could have been that I just didn't sleep right. So I packed all my stuff for the weekend in the car and then my Dad drove me there (Which I can't believe he did that for me, considering the fact that he now has another job where he has to go to bed at 6pm and get up at 1am) and dropped me off at some good friends of ours (the Gibsons) where I had the best meatloaf ever! But before dinner Ben (one of the older kids) had to go to the bank, so I tagged along. He had one of these little radio things that plugged into the cigarette lighter of a car which set on some blank radio channel with a cord on the other end to plug into your ipod. So if you turned your car radio to that blank station or channel or what ever you call it, you can have your very own little radio station. It is similar to those cassette tape things that you can use to plug a c.d. player or a ipod into so you can use your car speakers to hear the music. So I sort of steeped in and he let me play him so Broadway. I played him Dancing Queen, which he was trying hard to remember were he heard the tune from. Which it turns out he heard it in Dutch or Norwegian first, and then he heard it in English and was happy to under stand the song.

The next morning, I woke up and I found out that I was getting sick. And as time went on it got worse. I was finding myself blowing my nose so many rimes I was blowing up a little blood too (Yuck). Anyway I really wanted to go into the meeting but I didn't want to keep interrupting with my coughing and sniffling but thankfully they had it on t.v. in the outer rooms. And I watched from there and took some notes. But what really threw me off was that there was not a SINGLE box of tissues up there. So I had to make due with toilet paper, paper towels and napkins.
