This'll probably scare the crap out of my parents...

But I think I might have to see a doctor in Ireland. Today mostly, but coming on for a day or two was an extremely sore throat. And I think my tonsils are swollen. Ugh. It hurts real bad to swallow. And I think I had a fever yesterday in the evening... I'm going to buy a flashlight today so I can see the back of my throat. If there are white spots then I'm going to try and find a doctor - it's probably strep... and my glands are all swollen. If I was close to going home I'd just wait, but I have another 2 1/2 weeks and I haven't even started my internship yet (which is REQUIRED to graduate! Ah!). Drink plenty of fluids and rest I guess... Ugh. Just great... I wonder if my insurance covers over sea consultations...
