doing nothing

when packing, i had in fact taken my various class books with me, so that i could do some preparation. after all, there were going to be many hours of free time over the week spent in southern France, so i'd have ample time. or so i thought.

as i finally went to see a doctor, i was finally given medicine, all of which makes me drowsy. and as it turns out i've actually been sick longer than i've been coughing, i decided to forget the classes. this being a holiday, i should really do nothing. which is exactly what i've been doing. apart from a quick drive to nearby Nerac and Condom (yep, that's what the nearest town is called - you should see the postcards they sell!), i've mostly spent my time on sofas, either sleeping or reading a book. i've let myself sleep until i woke up (meaning between 10-11am), which i obviously need. and which hopefully means i'll be in grand shape next week.

tomorrow we're driving back home. that's another thing that'll need my energy...
