grossness disclaimer
i should be taking the SAT right now. but i'm not because i'm so effing sick. @#$@!. i don't know if i'll be able to change the date. i know for sure i won't get money back though. so yeah. this sucks. yesterday sucked worse though. 1st and 2nd period i was miserable. my fever would pitch, then i would go clammy, then i'd pitch again. my throat felt like it had been rubbed down with sandpaper. twas terrible. in 3rd period -- anatomy -- we were taking blood pressure and stuff and when i was laying down on the table, i was shaking pretty bad because i was so cold. but my head felt like it was on fire. and my fingernails turned blue. i don't think thats normal. so wes and brittany told me to call someone to come get me. my dad wasn't picking up the phone. and when i got ahold of mom, she didn't want to come get me if it wasn't really really important. so she told me to go to the clinic and see if i had a real fever or what. so by the time i got to the clinic, i was clammy again. but even though i felt clammy, i was still 99.8. but hey, thats nothing. so i called my mom and told her it was fine and i could stick it out since i had stuff to do after school. in 4th period, my dad called me back and told me that he could come get me, but he had a meeting to go to so i'd have to be able to leave like.. now. but i was in math and since i'm not doing to well in that class at the moment, i opted to stay. that was a mistake. by lunch, i was pitching again and attempted to eat something. i had about 3 bites of a cheeseburger and i couldn't eat anything else. so scott said he would take me to the clinic. but then the bell rang so insted, he just helped walk me to 5th period to make sure i didn't faint or anything. the bell for 5th period hadn't even rang yet when my teacher saw me and told me to go to the clinic. apparently i looked pretty bad. so kara walked me down and made sure i got there okay. and then brought all my stuff down. and the nurse was so nice. she had me lay down on the bed and took my temperature which now was 103. something. so she called my mom and my mom told me she had a break in about 30 minutes and would be there as soon as she could since shes a teacher and had to find someone to watch her class. not 5 minutes after she hung up with mom, wiener made an announcement since there were so many fights in both lunches that the school was going into lock down and everyone had to remain in 5th period until the end of the day -- so i didn't end up missing my AP quiz -- and that no one was allowed out of their rooms without being accompanied by a security guard. so i was pretty lucky that i had gotten out when i did since i would have had to wait. anyways, while i'm waiting in the clinic, all of these people who had been messed up fighting come in and i hear some of the stories as to why the fights started. a lot were racial fights,and then something about some guys sister, and the apparently there was a big girl fight too. blah people suck. then kenny came into the clinic cause he dislocated something or other - not fight related, just goofing around - so we were both miserable. and then the lady tried to get me to drink water but that wasn't going over very well at all. so she handed me a bucket - just in case -. FINALLY mom got there. she didn't know that the school was iin lock down so the security was giving her a hard time about getting into the building. but the nurse heard her say her name and let her in right away. you'd think i was dying. anyways, the nurse asked me if i needed a wheel chair to go out to my car, but since i'm a tough kid, i said i could handle it. so i'm walking out to moms car and all the while i'm making these gagging noises and telling her to slow down. and just as we get to her car, i go all over the panther pride sidewalk and my id. it was sooo gross. i HATE throwing up. and the poor guy in the car behind up had been watching us when i had my little exorcist moment. ew ew ew ew. well, i finally get home, lay down, and fade in and out of sleep as mom leaves to go back to her work. she gets home around 4 and i'm wide awake, sweating and shaking. and i wouldn't talk or eat. so mom threatens to take me to the hospital but doesn't because i try to tell her i don't have any voice and i finally drink some broth. so i stayed on the couch until 11, drifting in and out of sleep. and i wake up in a silent scream when i realize someone is hovering over me with their hand on my head. but its my mom. so with what little voice i have, i attempt to tell her to never sneak up on me again and then i go to my room and go to bed. i woke up once every 2 hours. and now i just finished reassigning my test date and everything so i can take it on april fools day at palmer with shelley. my throat still hurts and i still have a bit of a fever, but its gone down a lot. now its only 100.2 but grrr i have to do conners term paper AND go to work tonight and then figure out a way to get out of work tomorrow night so i can go to the chili cookoff with shelley and everyoone. don't worry, i'll figure it out... whats Ali gonna do? fire me? ha.
