Well wednesday was supposed to be the midway point of hellweek, with only 2 exams to go, and then thursday night to kick back and celebrate the week being over. Right? OOHHH no, my body had other ideas. Coming back from lunch wednesday I started to get chills, my entire body ached, and I got a really bad headache and my stomach started hurting. So I'm sitting there studying for my math exam that night thinkin it would get better, felt like a prisoner walking to his execution walking to Howard Hall for that test which I knew I'd bomb horribly. So I took the test, and fell asleep halfway through it. I leaned my head on my arm to write for support, and next thing I knew it was 25 minutes later. GREAT. Finished all the problems, but got probably no more than a 50 on it, which is ok because a few girls I talked to also did really bad. We'll see.
So I figured I'd feel better after eating dinner wtih Kait, Dancing Machine Mike, and the hotel guys, but nah, went to Elmhood to study with this one kid Doug for the calc test that I was supposed to take the next morning. So that went on for about 2 hours or so, walking through the halls of elmwood really brought back all the memories of last year, good good times! Well driving back to the hotel I was in agony so I figured I'd call it a night madd early around 10:15, sleep 10 hours and get up and rock my 2 exams. Well had trouble sleeping until around 11 when I felt a gurgle in my stomach, sat up instantly (Brian knew what was going on), sprinted to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet and let it out for about 5 minutes. Came back out from the bathroom to an audience of Brian, Katie (who I was supposed to study for calc with), Mike, and Jay in the hallway. To make light of the situation I asked them if they enjoyed the show and said I should have drank like a fish to have a good reason to puke. Well needless to say the rest of the night I felt like shit, not falling asleep until like 3am, after nearly being locked out of our room cuz we went to the soda machine to get me some ginger ale and my key card ran out. Luckily the guy was down there to charge it. Finally fell asleep around 3.
Needless to say I didn't go to any of my classes thursday. I simply couldn't physically get out of bed without feeling nauseus. Missed both my math and psych exams and also my ed class. Stayed in bed allllll day and didn't eat in about 24 hours until I ventured to the soda machine to get a coke and a nutragrain bar. First time i left the room all day, hell first time leaving my bed for that matter. Ended up transferring my phonebook to my new phone and texting Carissa back and forth while she was at work. Felt like I was dying, never felt like that in my life. Shit, really sucks not being able to move. Napped on and off, got a few visits and phone calls from people telling me to feel better which really really made me feel good. Kait and Meghan played duel Mom's by bringing me stuff from the student center to eat and some medicine and took care of me for a bit. I heart them! <3.
Finally around 9 I got up, washed up a bit, and Mike nextdoor took me, his roommate, and Mike Wu to Dunkin Donuts. First 'meal' in about 30 hours. Actually held it down too. Since it was thursday night, and you know what that means, it really sucked not to be able to drink. Instead I watched the Replacements and watched everyone else look like morons because they were drunk. I was probably the only person in the entire hotel who was not intoxicated. Good times. Played designated driver, which had people cracking up cuz it was in my away message too. That's a first...Vicky at work said it best "you know you're bad when people are SHOCKED that you didn't drink." Haha finally got to bed around 4 after packing up my stuff and studying for my makeup calc test this morning.
A SOBER THURSDAY NIGHT? What the hell?! good times anyway though
Went in to take the calc test adn absolutely tore it apart! Finally. Then went to english. Felt pretty decent actually, still felt a little wierd in my stomach, but no more aches and chills, and almost have all of my strength back. Went to see Kait real quick before hittin the road for home, saw Shadow too.
Picked up Carly and took her out to Tastee's subs for lunch. Got the most itailan sub you can get, haha stereotpyical? Nah...good sandwhich...HELL YEAH! Also stopped in the other Stop and Shop to see Scott. Told him I wanted to kidnap him back. Good timesa the subplace....more classic lines...saw an accident right behind us in the parking lot of all places! Got her home around 4, came back and got ready for work.
Work was real easy, was finished by like 10. Yay for chillin for 2 hours. Got home around 12:30 and ate like a king.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made the effore to send get well wishes and took the time to stop by or call or take care of me. Even though it was a day and a half, it really kicked my ass, as when was the last time you saw me stuck in my bed not having the strength to even move or get up? Means a lot to me to know that I matter to a lot of people. I love every one of you and would do the same thing if you were in my spot.
Well I'm gonna go get some sleep, tomorrow as far as I know me and my Dad are putting hte lights up outside.
Sweet dreams. <3
