It appears as though everyone is catching a slight bug that has been going around here lately. Thankfully, all it is sore throats and a little cough here and there. Kevin & I have both appeared to come down with it as well, but we stopped by the pharmacy today (typically called a chemist here) where the pharmacist recommend us to dissolve aspirin in water and gargle & drink it. We've also been taking some throat throat lozenges (they actually call them that here!! it made me so happy because no one at school knew what I was talking about when I called them that!!) Yesterday seemed to be the peak point for me as far as soreness, so hopefully it all gets better soon.
On top of that, one of the girls that is also studying abroad here from my home university (and is in my sorority) found out she had bed bugs from her bed in the dorm, which makes me very thankful for being in the homestay right about now. The university here didn't seem to really know what to do at first, but they are putting her somewhere else for the week to give them time to get a new mattress, headboard and & box spring along with cleaning everything in the room.
Things like this really make me appreciate how awesome of a school High Point really is and all the measures they take to keep the students safe & healthy!
On other news, as requested by my mom, below is my address here in my homestay!
30 Grange Ave
Twickenham
Greater London, England

I'm not entirely sure how you write out an address over here, but thats what was on my paper when I moved in, so hopefully its laid out in the correct format!
