Here I rest, where disappointment and regret... collide.
I am working the absolute weirdest hours this week so far. Yesterday I came in at 2, as usual, but felt so horrible that I had to call Krystle (my suitemate) and have her switch shifts for me, so I left at 3:30. Then I was in the library working on a project for my writing class and Nevan came in and asked if I could cover his shift from 7:30 to 9, and I was feeling much better so of course I agreed to do it. Today, because I switched with Krystle, I was supposed to work from 3:30 to 6:30, but I REALLY needed to go to Health Services (I'm really sick--physically... walk-in hours for mental health are different than physical) but their walk-in hours didn't start until 2. So I didn't get done with my visit there until 3, and the nurse practitioner prescribed some antibiotics, so I had to get to a pharmacy for the prescript. So I didn't get into work until 4, and I get off at 6:30.
The N.P. says I have some kind of infection, but she won't be sure if it's viral or bacterial until she gets a throat culture back. So she put me on antibiotics. Apparently, my right ear is pretty red inside and my throat and glands are rather swollen on the right side, so these antibiotics should help. They're called Zithromax and they're a 5-day treatment thing. Please let them work.
Thanks so much to Sean for taking me to the CVS. And the Natural Foods store, where I got some yummy Tazo Passion tea and some honey to have when I drink it. Yum.
Class today went really well. I had my writing class and gave a presentation, it was really good. The girl who was directed to read Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra today was having voice troubles, so I filled in for her. I did really well, I think. Ernesto (our don) says we're going to present a play sometime next semester, like a 3 or 4 night production. Amazing. I love this school.
Still chuggin' along in my reading of the Unbearable Lightness. It's such a wonderful book. Everyone should read it. All of you. Now. Go. Do it. You know you want to. I'm so excited to see where it's going. It seems to change each day, but I love the ways the plot goes.
Tonight is the flatmate meeting at 7 in Bates. As usual, Lauren is going to be late. I don't know how to take her as a roommate. I don't mean to exclude her or anything, but it happens pretty often. Krystle, Marissa and I get along really well, though. I don't know what to do.
I noticed something pretty funny last night. I forget what I was doing when I thought of it, but all of the sudden I noticed that the first initials of us girls in 6-P are JKLM. Jess-Krystle-Lauren-Marissa. That's so fun.
I'm so lame. :P
In the realm of the Sam situation... as much as I hate it, I'm afraid it's starting to fizzle out. I saw him today, even had lunch with him, and the attraction is just slowly dying. It's being overshadowed by the fact that he's been pretty much a dick to me the past few days and I really don't like that at all.
Lauren from 6-H, who I met through Nevan, is proving to be a really fun and good friend. She and I saw North by Northwest with Natalie and Julien last night, it was great to have someone to hang out with. Then she and I went over to the New Dorms to seek out new life and new civilizations... aka her friend Ben and Nevan. After finding them both and talking for a while, I started feeling really sick, so she, Nevan and I went back to Hill House, where I made easy mac for myself and ramen for Nevan and Lauren made tea with honey for me.
Mmm.. tea with honey sounds good right now.
Do they have hot water in Bates, I wonder? I really don't remember. They probably do. Haha, that would be hilarious. I walk into the cafeteria with my own tea and my own honey. Fuck their nasty shit! :P
Two more hours of work. I really need to take my antibiotics. I'm like dying here. Bleh! Maybe I'll just get a drink and take some more Midol (Naproxen Sodium). It helps a lot with the pain.
Yeah, definitely making a trip to the vending machines downstairs in a few minutes.
I'm not quite as depressed as I have been, but I could definitely stand to have some company of the straight male persuasion.
What a weird day it's been. I completely forgot about taking a nap in Julien's roommate's (Chris's) bed before lunch. I was wandering around aimlessly waiting for lunchtime to come and remarked to Chris that I wish I had a bed on campus, and he said I could use his until he had to leave for work. So I did. I think I snored. That's weird. One of the reasons I hate being sick. I hate snoring.
Alright, time to take some more Midol.
Later days...
