Some Bad news and a quick update....

I'll start with the bad. My closest cousin had recently had an episode with a weird type of flu...really more serious then that...she had been hospitalized because she was having trouble breathing and was in danger of going into respiratory arrest for a while there. She was able to recover from that, but now it seems to be coming back & doctors have no idea what is causing it. They are running tests and says she is a 1 in 100,000 case. I would ask that whoever reads my blog please pray for her health as well as my Aunt who is obviously very affected by this......Thank You

Now as far as my update, I am adjusting to life here pretty well...I have mid terms this week, and then I have next week off....originally I was going to meet Diego in Istanbul but apparently filming has taken an extra week so he will still be in 'whatever village' he is in filming during my week off instead of Instanbul. So instead I just booked a very cheap flight to go to Rome for 4 days. I will update as soon as I get back & post some long overdue pictures.
