I'm a Strongasaurus!
Today's lesson: Why Bryn Mawr is utterly and hopelessly incapable.
I went to the health center yesterday, solely to end the ceaseless emails from my mom..."THAT IS A BACTERIAL ISSUE, YOU HAVE STREP", "GO TO THE HEALTH CENTER AND TELL THEM YOUR DOCTOR FATHER SAID YOU HAD TO GET TESTED", "IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE YOU MAKE THEM CALL HIM. HE iS A DOCTOR", ect ect. I knew it'd be insufferable when I had to sit in the waiting room and watch Regis and Kelly. More to the point, I had to watch Beautiful Baby Week on Regis and Kelly. If I wasn't sick already, watching endless vacant eyed, drooling children flash on the screen didn't help things :/ Also the amazing Vietnamese Bubble Man, who did absolutely NOTHING AMAZING, other than waving around a giant bubble maker to porn music.
Anyway, I finally got to see the nurse for a strep test. Ahaha, oh the adventures.
NURSE: Stick you tongue out and say ahhh!
KYUUK: AHHH!
NURSE: *presses her wooden stick down on my tongue*
STICK: *snaps in half, half flies across room and hits wall*
NURSE: I'm going to have to check your tongue for bleeding.
KYUUK: ...
NURSE: Ok, let's try again, I didn't get enough there. I think you should stand against the wall this time.
KYUUK: ...I don't think that's going to help, I have a long history of acting out violently towards nurses giving me strep tests.
NURSE: Hahaha.
KYUUK: No, really.
NURSE: *swabs*
KYUUK: *INVOLUNTARILY ATTEMPTS TO CLAW NURSE'S EYES OUT*
NURSE: Ok, that was just the quick result test. Now for the longer-term culture!
KYUUK: AGAIN?!
NURSE: Well, the quick result says you don't have strep, but we must be sure!
NURSE: Now we have to weigh you!
KYUUK: What.
NURSE: Don't worry, I tell people they can close their eyes or look away, so they don't have to see their weight.
KYUUK: It's ok. I don't really...care.
NURSE: *weighs* But remember, that's with your boots on, and aaalll your clothes.
KYUUK: Ok? I am not an anorexic? I DO NOT CARE?
I wanted to kill her.
In happier news, my Chinese friend Di has become addicted to The Colbert Report after seeing the Chinese New Year episode, and now she's running around shouting "Nation!" and "TONIGHT!". It's terribly cute ♥
