It happens every time I come to Eastern Europe - the contraction of the Black Plague. So, what is the Black Plague? Well, it is the time when one comes face-to-face with hell for 24 hours. The symptoms are tell-tale: stomach cramps, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and the dreaded sitting-in-a-Chevy feeling-something-heavy diarrhea.
It hit me last night...like a freight truck. I spent the night tossing and turning in dire pain, trying to use my Jedi forces to fight these demons playing havoc on my stomach. Needless to say, I wasn't strong enough; the dark sith prevailed and I have been left bed-ridden, licking my wounds.
To reframe the situation, I am glad it happened now as oppose to later. Last year, the Black Plague hit me on the day of the semi-finals at the World Championships. I recall vomiting repeatedly during warm-up.....too much detail?
Anyways, I can rest easy now. As the Plague slowly works it way out of my body I am pleased that I will now be resilient to any future wrath. It's almost as if I just finished writing an exam at school...pleased that it is over until next year.
Speaking of Exams, turns out my graduation is this coming Thursday. Unfortunately I won't be there....and it is a true shame, my mom told me on the phone today that I am graduating with Top Honours. Yep, it is now official, I am a big deal.

Top honors hey-- interesting thing is that you heard that from your MOM! Really she didn't want to upset you with the bad news until AFTER the world cups season. Besides, there is still time for Chucky to head on down there and put the dean in a death grip until he just gives you an honorary Masters for your achievements!
