Fleas and Chains

I have officially made my first hospital run in Mexico. It was not for me, I just was going to help. Out of 17 people, only 3 have not gotten sick. Two have been hospitalized with bacterial infections, one stayed over night. Others have felt bad and had to stay back some days. Then, some of the ones who could walk then got fleas, yes fleas.

Our quiz on agriculture and presentations got moved. So, I will be taking my second biology quiz in an airport or on a plane.

I have learned a lot today, I desperately need to improve my vocabulary sets in spanish. I couldn´t understand when my homestay mother was talking about¨chaining herself to a tree¨ (for a protest of course, let me remind you, she is 72) or instructions for medicine today. We never learned ¨chained¨ in spanish 21.
