Staying home, friendly woes, and spaghetti

Mar 08, 2002 11:51

This cold has given me grief all week. I was just getting over another cold, and thought I'd be in the clear a couple days afterwards. This particular virus, at least I think that's what this is, overtook the other cold before my body could even finish excising it. Probably with a combination of going to bed at 11:30 or so this cold started with one strange type of headache. It wasn't so much a throbbing pain as an I can't concentrate on anything type of thing. Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of Thursday, I've woken up groggy and blurry eyed. This would be indicative of a lack of sleep, but after 10 min of getting myself out of bed, I really didn't feel sleepy at all. I'd go to school, thinking I'd be able to manage through my day finding I've been having a bit of trouble focusing on the board at certain times. I'd have thought this was due to a lack of sleep, but I've been sleeping 2-3 hours when I come home from school, and going to bed earlier than I normally would, yet this still happens. I find it odd, and stayed home from school today trying to sleep and get rid of this thing. As I type this the monitor is a little fuzzy, but that might just be the monitor. I've been experiencing these strange out of focus moments for the past 3 or so days now and also find myself wondering where the heck I was when it happens as if I had just woken up after falling asleep in class.

I have many things wrong with me, but you probably don't want me to talk about that here.

I heard there were a couple job openings at the Lincoln Mall I might be interested in. I hope I'm not too late as I was told about this a week and a half ago. If I can get one that pays $7 an hour, I'll be very happy and take as many hours as I can handle. Granted, flipping burgers at McDonalds doesn't compare to the comfort of an office job, but it's the only decently paying one I've heard about so far. No one seems to know of any office jobs I could do, and I haven't found any, so I'll probably settle for this.

I seem to have annoyed a friend of mine yesterday in Bio class. I don't know if it was the mood she was in, or if she's just starting to not like some of the things I do. She had mentioned something to me about not doing good because of things like me talking to her when the teacher is explaining an overhead, but she was talking to someone else when we were supposed to be taking notes, not paying attention, so I was being a little bit of a brat and started writing part of it in her notebook. Since I wrote in blue, she got riled up and started bickering at me about writing in her notebook. (She considers blue bad luck or something.) It was a little frightening as I didn't know if she was going to hit me or not, but also because she didn't really do things like that before. Lately, she's been acting as if she doesn't like what I do or say to her even though I thought it was the same stuff I've been doing all along. I'm not sure exactly what's happening - any advice?

On a lighter note, I helped out at my class' fundraiser of a spaghetti dinner last night from 5-8. I believe sweetsongstress went there, but I didn't see her. I found the spaghetti and meatballs appetizing while eating them with my family. After I finished eating, I dried dishes the rest of the night, staying in the back room until everyone left (save those who were putting it on) at which time I helped stack chairs. It wasn't hard work, and I found restaurants aren't as clean as you think they are, which was a little disconcerting. I was told we had a good turnout, and am happy the prom tickets won't be expensive. But that's enough rambling for now, I'm going to go rest some more.
