I just bought my first ever piece of art! "Tea with Milk" by an American guy, Lavon, who lives in Antigua for a large part of the year. I'm really quite proud of my purchase and already have a rough idea where I might hang it. If I had money I could easily have bought another two of his pictures and given my appartement a more artsy touch when I'll get back.

Alas, that was not to be. Though I did think hard about whether I should buy more. Ah, well. Gotta start my collection with one real piece of art I suppose ;-). And of course I'm now hoping that Lavon will become as famous as Picasso in 30 years time and I'll make a fortune :-D. And I mean, why not? He is good - and the dodgy photo I took of the painting on my bed really doesn't do it justice.

My New Teacher

Unfortunately I couldn't continue with my old teacher this week - which is really my fault since I took a one week break from school. And for the first time i'm not really happy with my teacher. I mean, Mirta is a good teacher, buit she is just sooooo serious. The fun-factor is definitely low.

Test-Results

Unfortunately I had been wrong when I said that it looked like my stomach might be alright again. Or rather, it turned out that the word "might" was the most important one. So I went to a "Laboratorio Biomedico" yesterday and got a test (42Q, approx. 5 USD for a labtest! I suppose back home no lab-assistant would even talk to you for that money). But unfortuantely they didn't find anything! No parasites. And they tested twice. I suppose I should be happy about this but to be honest I would have been more happy if they simply had said: "You got these buggers, take this pill and you'll be fine again." Hmpf. Maybe I should stop being nice to my stomach and kill whatever it is with tequila!
