SERIOUSLY. You hear about kids at Uni. or College passing out due to exhaustion or what have you all the time, but I'd never thought it would happen to me!!! O____O
So like, after school, open life drawing...there's like 35 or more people crammed in there and 15 minutes into the session I start to get cold sweats; get dizzy and lightheaded and pass out on the floor. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. Someone carried me out of the room and people are all like "nurse, ambulance, doctor, wheelchair" (I'm semi-consious at this point...and I remember muttering stuff to answer people's questions, although I can't remember the things I was saying). It turns out my blood pressure was too low and my blood sugar wasn't that great either; and the standing during life drawing wasn't helping it.
I stayed in the hospital for maybe 5 hours. The doctors couldn't find any visible veins in my arms, so they had to keep TRYING *holey* to get the IV in. I got discharged just a little while ago.
The doctors told me it would be wise to leave the program, looking at the pace I'm going at. But I'm gonna keep at it. IT'S ONLY EVER IN LIFE DRAWING THOUGH THAT I FEEL LIGHTHEADED AND THERE ARE NO FUMES OR ANYTHING. I think it was just the idea that I was in a room full of pro people and that a lot of them were standing behind and around me, in full view of my honest to goodness shit. (omg, S-- ---, D---- ---, D---- ----, C---- ---...just to censor a few) You can feel so INFERIOR in there. Ugh, how pathetic am I?
It was truly, very scary and unreal. But, anyway...feeling better. Just tired.
I could go on (and believe me, there are fun/not so fun stories to tell about that open class) but I need to head back to Oakville tomorrow (in Toronto).
NYARRRR NOW EVERYONE IS GONNA KNOW ME AS "GIRLWHOPASSEDOUTINLIFEDRAWING" FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARRRRRRS! JEEZ WHAT A WAY TO START COLLEGE~ *hides*
