nothing too interesting to blog about... but I'll update you on my skin condition
I know you're on the edge of your seat..
I went to the doctor on Friday (and apparently SOs now have to make appointments for the clinic on campus & it costs $50EC =$20US to see the doctor)
so the doctor confirmed that I do in fact have a fungus growing on my skin
he prescribed me a cream to put on it (which ended up being over the counter in Grenada, so I could have diagnosed myself and bought the cream)
but, he said that since I've had it for weeks and it's all over my shoulders and back that I would probably need to take a pill because I'd need like 10 tubes of the cream to cover my skin for the necessary 3 weeks of treatment (eek!) and stuff isn't cheap.
Before I can take the pill I need a blood test though, to rule out any liver problems and make sure stuff is normal (which I know I'm not.... but hopefully my blood will be!) so I'm going back Monday for a blood test.
He also said that it could take MONTHS for my skin to return to normal....... MONTHS :(
the fungus will go away quickly, but the spots will remain until my skin regenerates...
Hopefully by my birthday (which is in a April) I will be back to wearing tank tops without shame....
haha. just kidding. I'm not that shamed.... but it isn't that pretty....

KELSEY :( thats awful. im sorry!
how did your blood test go? ps i meant to congratulate you on the 10,000 + views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this, but I have to say I had a WEE bit of excitement, because your condition is something I've had to study, as I'm taking my National Board Exam for massage here in the states. But I wish you a rapid recovery.
I also,just wanted to let you know that I love the new(ish) layout. I haven't been here in a couple of weeks. I also love reading your blog, even though I generally don't comment.
