Still at camp. Things are wild and crazy and debate-y all the time. I am running out of money. I have to debate tomorrow after dinner, so I’ll be up late working on that. Life is mostly debate and eat and sleep over here, with some half-assed correspondence on my part with everyone back home. Camp has made me love everyone more, as well as instilled in me a healthy respect for those who do not breathe debate.
The one caveat is that my good friend Julia has just developed mono, and given that we’ve been terrific pals for the past couple weeks I probably have it too. I won’t be showing symptoms for another month or so. I am relying on my Russian constitution to get me through this.

Here, have another!
omg, you really don’t want mono.
start taking zinc tablets and vitamin c supplements NOW to lessen the blow.
thankfully, mono has gotten a lot weaker since our parents’ generation had it, but it still scares me a lot that when my dance teacher had it, she got so weak she couldn’t move or reliably remain conscious. she had to live at the hospital for three weeks, she couldn’t stay awake for more than a few minutes at a time. yeesh!
Mono isn’t that bad, remember skippy has mono, and I can’t notice any difference in her…as long as people are giving out advice, the main thing is don’t worry, and if you want to take something, take garlic to help cleanse your lymph nodes.
I saw you in a hat today.
