The medication the doctor gave me yesterday seems to be really helping, and while my eyes were still red and puffy this morning, they looked a considerable amount better. Feeling better was very helpful in my group meeting at LASP this morning, and I'm feeling a lot better about our presentation. We spent a couple of hours discussing further our position and splitting up the presentation, but we will still need to meet tomorrow to solidify things before Friday.
It was exceptionally hot on the way to ICADS today (probably around 90°F), and we enjoyed soaking up the sun on the walk there. Spanish class went really quickly, and before I knew it we were on our way back home. This afternoon I went over to Haleigh's house to use the internet in order to call home and touch base before I leave for my internship and to do some research for my Spanish presentation tomorrow. It felt like a big night out, and its funny to think about how different my life here is from my life in the States where I can hang out with my friends all the time and frequently stay up late doing homework that I've put off. Today was the first weekday all semester that I've spent time with anyone after class, and it actually feels kind of good to need to stay up late working on homework for tomorrow.
My host parents came and met me at the bus stop when I got home so that I wouldn't have to walk home in the dark, and I said hi to everyone before retreating to my room to read and practice my Spanish presentation for tomorrow. While my host siblings were getting ready for bed, they were talking about how much homework people in college have. Its funny because I've been amazed by how little homework they have...the difference between cultures never end!
