I know I do not really post journals often but I thought I let you all know what has occurred in my life since the start of September. My fall semester went well and I greatly enjoyed most of my classes but had a bit of a problem with my geology course. Though I can not complain being that it was a senior level class. Wrote many geological papers, One every week. Somehow during the last week of school I began feeling ill and was in intense pain, 6 days later during my math exam I being to shake from pain and the professor wanted to call 911. i did not let him but went to my doctor who sent me to a specialist. I was told I had a very bad infection of the kidneys/ blood and was given ciprofloxacin. Cipro is a very strong antibiotic used to kill infections and for those exposed to anthrax. http://www.drugs.com/ciprofloxacin.html

So after a bit less than two weeks of taking the Cipro I feel better and am leaving for Brasil tomorrow with my best friend of 14 years Alan. We are staying at my farm and plan to go fish and camp in the amazon. It should be a very nice trip. I will be gone until the 24th but when I come back there will be a huge photo dump (if FA allows it) but for now that is all. I will try to write more journals in the future but I really feel like no one reads these anyway. If you do I thank you and apologize. For everyone on FA I wish you all good tidings and health.

Sincerely, Osiris
