I should have known it was coming. It happens to me almost every time. Whenever I have a holiday I get ill. And when it’s my birthday, I’m either ill or will be next day. And now I had spring break AND it was my 20th birthday. So guess what? I was ill... It started with my throat, in the evening it felt like there was something sharp stuck in my throat and the next day I completely lost my voice. The result: had to cancel singing lessons. Now, I could live with that as long as I get my dose of ‘tonsiotreen’ every hour. That was one day before my b-day. I had planned to go shopping on my birthday and a little thing as a throat infection wouldn’t stop me.
So next day I went shopping in Utrecht, all by myself because, well just because I can. Shopping didn’t go so well, first I discovered that prices were twice as high as they were the last time. And that while I was shopping for spring clothes, aren’t they supposed to be cheaper than winter clothes? I guess not. I fell in love with a beautiful blazer I spotted at the H&M, but it was too expensive. After visiting numerous shops without finding anything that could please me, I decided to give up and just go back to my good old friend ‘Wonderwoman by Coolcat'. I could swear I was going crazy because I just couldn’t find the store and I was 100% it had been there. There’s also a normal 'Coolcat' store in Utrecht so I went there to ask, apparently the store had closed because it didn’t make enough profit. I totally had it be then and was ready to just go home.
So I went up the stairs up to ‘Hoog Cathrijne’ which I have to go through in order to get to the station. And there I saw a store I had visited some times before but didn’t think too much of. Yet I thought I could give it a try, because they aren’t so expensive and they had discount on pants. Left the story 45 minutes later with 2 pantalons, 1 hotpants and a dress. For just a little over 100 Euros, that’s not too bad. Though I did have a little negative experience while I was in the store, they had 10 Euros discount if you bought 2 pair of pants, whatever pants you wanted. So I had 2 pants: 1 pantalon and 1 hotpants, and suddenly I had to pay more than I expected. They said the discount didn’t count for hotpants, well I’m sorry but aren’t hotpants pants? Anyway still left that store with a bunch of stuff so it still made my day though.
By then I was out of money so I took the bus home and in the bus home it was a nightmare. I suddenly felt terrible. Huge headache and it felt like my face was stuffed with cotton. Yep, I caught an enormous cold. I didn’t have one like that in a long time. Had to cancel lots of things, but still had to work, I had no choice but boy did I feel awful.
It’s now getting better luckily, I have my voice back and no more enormous headache. I had planned to go to school, but yesterday I felt pretty bad again and since we only had theory and not practice I decided it was better to stay home and sicken out. Next week is gonna be a though schoolday because we’re gonna do butt and backmassage, so I’d rather skip one theory lesson so that I will feel up to the practice lesson again next week. So I called my fellow student Esther that morning, she must be one of the nicest persons ever. She was not only so kind to tell our teacher I wouldn’t be coming, no she also offered to send me a copy of her notes and I didn’t even have to ask! Some of my fellow students are just the best! They’ve been so sweet to me, it’s more than I could have ever hoped for when I started with the study Beauty Therapy. I promise next week you will get a story about my schoolday instead of a story about shopping and being ill haha.
