Weird series of days...
So, the good news is that Computer Support at my school recovered almost every file they could find, including the Naughty folder. They gave me a weird look when they asked about the "Naughty" folder on my desktop, but when I explained "It buys me food" their faces reddened and bit and said "they liked my work." *blush*
Aside from Peter Penn, the Naughty folder also contains Overflowing Bra work and other BE art. There's some prose stories in there as well I'm working for another site... I was a little sheepish when I found out they had been looking at my work wondering why a girl like me had porn on her desktop, but after everything was put on the table the guys seemed to appreciate the change in pace from servers to vaginal openings.
*ahem*
I have heard back from only few doctors today whom I called on Saturday. So far, none of them take Assured Access. I'm crossing my fingers for one named "Owen" who's online profile seemed to fit in right with the kind of help I need. He was also one of the cheaper doctors and said on his site he has a sliding scale. He was also the only one I e-mailed. According to his auto response, he should be back in the office tomorrow.
This weekend I did hardly any work. I felt like shit all weekend, what with the fight with Seamus and the computer crashing and the lost midterm and the broke and the crazy. My friend Amber (who is doing much, MUCH better now) came over last night after work so we could work on homework. She also has a prescription to a medication called Adderall for her ADHD. Last night I was working my ass off to try and finish these pages for today's class. She suggested I try one of her pills. Usually, I don't pop another's prescription medications. However, in this case, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I took one last night before midnight and one this morning after breakfast.
I have to say... I felt like my old self again. I've researched this medication a bit. It is a low grade Amphetamine, which scares me a bit. However, aside from treating ADHD, in rare cases it has been used to treat depression that doesn't respond well to other medications. I don't know if I'm depressed still or not, hence why I'm seeking out a doctor for that, but I can't argue with the results. Not only did I get my work done last night without straying from the task (like I usually do), I was happy with it to boot when I finished. All day I've felt alert, bubbly, calmer, and certainly better centered than I have in a long time. When I do finally find a good head doctor, I'll certainly let him know about these results from borrowing my friend's medication.
I don't plan on making a habit out of it, but I would be lying if I said that today I certainly felt better than I have in...years, really. Since before I moved to Canada.
I still have a huge Business plan to write before Wednesday and 2 pages to draw and ink tonight after Philo... But I have to do Philo. I would be a fool not to. Good news there too is that my instructor Zak is going to let me build the Philo site for credit. So I get to kill two birds with one stone. :)
Yays!
Today, all but my instructor and I went to a visiting illustrator's lecture. I went and apologized for my behavior to the girl in the Media center (who was almost teary eyed that I actually did that. I could tell she really appreciated it), and to the computer guys who have done nothing but help me.
Today I pick up my check from the Costume shop, head to Philo, come home and draw and ink my homework for tomorrow. Tuesday morning, I vote and stop by Microcenter to see if I can buy an 80-200 gig portable hard drive to save my recovered files, drop off my computer at an Apple Store for repair, and then go to class. After, I'll work on my Business plan for Wednesday with Amber again (She and I have the same class).
in Animation on Wednesday, we're presenting our final project proposals. I'm going to work on my "Princess Naughtypants" skit. It's a little over 2 minutes and our final assignment has to be over 30 seconds. I think if I reduce it to Flintstones style animation I can probably complete it in the 5 weeks left of school. In the evening *gulp* I present my business plan. Cross your fingers...
Thursday, I plan on sleeping in a bit in the morning (at least until 9am), printing my midterm from last Friday's fiasco with the computer, and working on recovered Naughty. Friday I have class in the afternoon, and the weekend shall be glory filled with Homework, paid Naughty, and commissions.
Also, my Side-B submission shall be inked THIS WEEKEND and it shall be GLORIOUS!!!!
I do feel better... I know it's the pill what did it to me, so I'm hoping that it's because I actually have depression or ADHD and not because it's a low-grade amphetamine. I'll keep you all posted.
