Not allone but ill in Warsaw

So I got sick on Saturday afternoon (some hours after writting the last entry) and I slept very badly the following night because there were drunk people down on the street that could not keep quiet.
Well the next days went on pretty much like a blurr, we had sessions in the morning and afternoon, the other volunteers who were very nice, went at night to pubs but I stayed in bed. Unfortunately there were many many German and Austrian people so you didn´t really meet people from a variety of other countries. We learnt about Polish history, Does & Don´ts (eg that you should tipp 10%) and talked about problems etc. I went to see the Museum of Contemporary Art, but I have to say that the one in Chicago is a lot better (-; . I heard from someone that the one in Lodz is supposed to be very good, so I got to check that out when I get back to health again.
On Friday I got back to Lodz without having seen a lot of Warsaw (the parts I saw I didn´t like as much as Lodz, it´s very big and crowded, more a business and especially tourist city).
Since then I have been lying in bed, although I have to admit that I went to a BBQ on Friday night because I felt better. That was a stupid idea because on Saturday I felt worse.
Oh, I forgot to tell what I suffer from (-: . I have a cold and a flue and my tonsils are very swollen.
I was supposed to have a meeting with Malgosia, my EVS coordinator today, but I couldn´t leave bed so I also have to skip Polish lessons for today...so this is the 4th lesson I missed, I ve got to repeat it by myself then.
It´s pretty boring, so I don´t have to tell many news..........
