but I couldn’t think of much more miserable then being on a train for 12 hours feeling like that.

Yeah. I was feeling nauseous from when I woke up at 5, although it only started getting really bad around 10/11. So it’s been an absolutely miserable day. Honestly I wanted to bail yesterday, but Mildura is way too far away to get a lift unless I was really really bad, but the only other way back was a packed night bus to Melbourne. I probably wouldn’t have been sick if I caught the night bus, but it would’ve still been pretty hellish. And if I was, people would’ve been a lot less understanding, plus the whole making other people sick thing.

Just based on my past experiences with being sick, usually days 2 and 3 are the worst. The first day’s just tiring, the 2nd day is usually slightly worse than the 3rd though. I think I will just call the program coordinator in the morning, after hours won’t be able to do all too much except organise a lift tonight. But if I go home tomorrow, that’s one more day to get better before I have to meet the new kid (I don’t think throwing up every 2 hours from the moment I walk in the door is a great way to introduce myself)
