I am combining these last two weeks as I experienced one of the hardest challenges while being abroad. I was hospitalized for two weeks following Easter due to an untreated ear infection that led to surgery and two weeks in the hospital. I am very lucky to be out of the hospital now, but it was not an easy journey. I am trying to catch up on all the work I missed and still be able to enjoy the last two weeks of this study abroad experience. (Submitted on April 15,2024)
