Day 14

Today I practiced a few times for the presentation just to make sure that I don’t forget to say something. I was worried that people may not hear me over the fans since it was difficult enough for me to speak loudly for people to hear me in a quiet classroom.

But for some reason I had been feeling worn out all day so I slept a little after eating breakfast. Around 1pm I started to get this feeling that I am about to get sick and felt a little disoriented so I just laid down on the bed. Once the presentations started, Peter came to get me so I sat down in a chair and I realized that I was breathing harder than usual and felt like my body was burning up. I felt that I just needed to try and sleep it off so I asked the professor to change the order so that I can finish the presentation and sleep rather than sitting in the chair worrying about what is wrong with me and not being able to comprehend what the presentation is about at all.

It seemed that I made everyone worried and I appreciate Michelle coming in to check on me but after sleeping, I feel a lot better. I think this was just my body freaking out due to the constant change in temperature since I am walking around in the heat and then getting into an air conditioned van to get to the barn. As well as the sudden change in diet since I have rarely ate meat this frequently before.
