(castle) day 3: still itchy.

Actually, I decided to just start with today and work backwards, then hopefully after I finish everything that's past, I can stay more updated for the rest of the trip. We'll see how THAT goes, haha...again with the being-too-ambitious problem. Anyway, here goes.


I'm lying on my bed, starting to update, and still really itchy. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, I woke up with that ever-unpleasant sensation of discovering multiple new bug bites. I still have no idea what or where they came from, and I probably never will, but they're bugging me still. Turns out I have one trail of bites from my right ear, down my jawline, to my neck, and then there's another random collection of bites on my right hand (both around eight bites each), and then there are random ones on my other arm and a few on my legs. Gah! It's been a while since I've had so much itchyness on my body. They look like they might just be mosquito bites (and I'm hoping that's all they are, because anything else is usually worse in terms of being some type of bug that's infesting...somewhere), but I just wish they would subside. Talk about a thorn, right? My most troublesome one at the moment is probably the one on my right index finger knuckle--it's slightly swelling the joint whenever I bend it, like I do to type.
Enough about bug bites, though. I'm a little tired, since I've slept a bit later than I should the past couple of nights, but everyone else is still awake and talking rather loudly, so attempts to sleep at this hour would probably fail anyway. Even though I'm upstairs, voices carry rather easily through the croft (the building where we're living) and the walls. A bit earlier, two of my classmates were in the small common area outside my room (if you ask me, I think there's something developing between them...we'll see), and their conversation carried enough to my room to distract me, but now it's just general talking. I'll blog till it's quiet, I guess.

...aiya, I keep going back and forth on how to chronicle everything so far. I feel like if I type any more about today, I'll just confuse myself. Back to the original plan?
