Well, this week started off with me fighting off flu symptoms. Luckily, I never got really sick. I have good friends who made sure I got my rest and felt better. Tuesday was the third and final round of immunizations!! Whoop! My arm hurt afterwards (and still does!). I was able to throw around the softball with Sara for a little bit. There is nothing better than throwing around the ball on the first day of spring! It was great.
Later on - me, Jamie, Sue, Sarah, Johnny and Maria played Nubball. What is Nubball you may ask? Well, place your hands behind your neck - and there ya go! You are ready. I would say this game is a cross between soccer and rugby. It's great!! You can't use your hands . . . you have to use your elbows (aka: nubs) and your knees. So, here is how it would work: you begin with a jumpball, and if you catch it, you then pass to another team member by batting the ball with your nub. If the ball hits the ground, you must dive on it and pick it up with knees or nubs! We began the game with Jamie, me, and Maria vs. Johnny, Sue and Sarah. Probably 5-10 minutes into the game there was a loose ball and Sue and I were headed full-force for it. As we dove, the side of my head connected with her knee. I was down. But, happy to say I walked away with just a headache. Don't let the danger deter you!! It's an extremely fun game.
I experienced sushi for the first time this week. It was actually not too bad. My friend Justin ordered for me, and he didn't go easy. For my first time, he didn't order the sushi rolls . . . with the rice and other junk and very little raw meat. Nope, he went full force sushi! I ate a large hunk of raw salmon with very little rice. All cameras were pointed on me. I got it down and kept it down. Who knows? Maybe I'll be up for it again soon!
This past week also included Washington D.C. (my group walked almost to Maryland!), dinner out at Red Robin (made me think of home), a Friday night movie, an awesome 2-hour talk with a friend, and my first Mexican meal in almost 2 months!!!!!!
Only a week and a half left here. I'm going to miss the farm. I dread the day I have to say good-bye to some amazing friend for 2 years. God has blessed my heart in my time here.

Finally, a blog that isn't trying to sell me something! From my personal experiences as a physician, I've learned that flu shots are very important for all people, especially the elderly and young children. By the way, you have a lovely website! (:
