So, my Dad and I got our immunizations on Thursday after school, and it was not really what I expected at all. Instead of just going into the clinic and sitting down and getting your shots and walking out, you have to have a consult to assess what immunizations you have had and which ones you need in order to go to your desired destination.

Some of it was a little nerve-racking, and not just because you were nervous about how many times you were gonna have to get stuck with a needle, but also because just the day before I was talking to my English teacher about all the necessary shots he had to get. He has lived and taught all over the world, so I knew he was an expert in this sort of stuff, and he was telling me about the time he got Dengue Fever, and not that I thought that I was going to get it, but hearing his story about how awful it was made me think "Well what if I get something similar that's just as bad?" And going to the consult to talk about your trip can make you feel like that too, because they shove all these papers in you face, saying well you could get this, so just be careful. I'm sitting here thinking "HELLO! Be CAREFUL?!" "Is that what you really what you just said to me?" "HECK! Give me the shots right now! Make me a freakin' pin cushion if you have to! I do NOT want Dengue Fever!". 

So, it was a very exhilarating mental experience, but hey! Better safe than sorry!
