^ LOL. Don't worry, I'm about done with instant rice. There's one package of that left in my cupboard along with one package of pasta-roni that I can't make since I have no milk, two meals worth of spaghetti, and about two weeks worth of plain oatmeal and I can't buy food until further notice due to lack of funds. (I'm seriously thinking about trying to track down the address of the guy who did it. I estimate a 5% chance of success.)
Man o man, Merc! I'm sorry that you're sick when you've got so much going on, but girl, you really need to give your body a break so it can get better! I know it's been said before, but I'll say it again...someone your age should not be pushing themselves and going through all the crazy stress that you are.
Thank you. I am spending the night in and drinking lots of orange juice (I dont actually know if it makes a difference...), and I have no homework for the weekend, so except for a few minor errands I have to run tomorrow, I am going to spend the weekend doing absolutly nothing at all.
Merc, please take care of yourself. (Psst ... she isn't gonna. Road trip to the grain belt to make sure she does.)
LOL... I think the funny thing is that over the 1000+ posts I have left here over the months, you probably could find me. That's rather chilling... I am hoping the fever is just temporary, like a 24 hour bug. I havent checked myself since this morning, but I am feeling a bit better; I'm still really cold and clammy, but I wasnt as desperate as I was this morning. I'm not necessarily the picture of good health, but not necessarily bed-confined material. I have to photocopy my passport in case it gets lost or stolen in France and deliver a few checks downtown tomorrow, but after that, it's going to be me and the television for the duration of Saturday. I'm more concerned about whether my teacher will let me retake the exam. We had a (really mean) substitute today, and I was too afraid to say anything..
Hopefully your teacher is cool about it. Taking a test when you're that sick isn't really a good representation of what you've learned.
So not happy right now...I mean, really? This is just completely rediculous. "sigh" And just when I had my hopes up.
I'm sorry, Chim. I hope everything is ok. I may have done something bad to my foot. Ok, scratch that, I definitely did something bad, I just don't know how bad. On the upside, though, I saved my nephew. We were practice serving at volleyball, and Kade was standing in the middle of the court, just chillin. This guy served, and it was a fast ball headed straight for Kade's face. I kicked it away, superhero style. Broken foot? Totally worth it.
I have a stupidly long shift today, considering what I do can be done in three hours. I'm working seven.
I don't have insurance. I think it's ok, though, it doesn't hurt as bad today. I think I just pulled a muscle in my foot or something. Extra cash?
Aww, I'm sorry Aranthias. That's one of the worst feelings in the world, I think. I am upset because I dont like that it is super-hard for the average person to maintain a high GPA, but it is so easy for it to drop. I didnt study for my last sociology test because I was studying for four others and writing a poetry anthology on the same night. I had a 95% in the class for the entire six weeks period (our grades are averaged three times per semester, which is eighteen), but because of one test, I now have a 91%, an A-. I guess some people might be rolling their eyes at me, but I also bombed my math test because of my fever and I didnt do as well as I would have liked on my Spanish exam either --I earned a B+, but I needed an A to push my overall grade up to an A. And because I bombed that math test (I dont have my grade back yet, but I just know that I did), that means my shot at a standard 4.000 GPA (which, for anyone who doesnt use a GPA system, is the highest you can get academically) was just blown to bits, and we are only a 1/3 into the first semester. I dont know how anyone does it; I work my butt off with everything I do, but I can never seem to accomplish anything up to my goals.
Sad! I'm sorry. I hope you're doing ok. I was right there with you about the GPA thing in high school, Merc. You work so hard though, don't beat yourself up about it. You've got time to pull your grades up, it'll be ok!
Erk, Felt a small, mobile but hard lump behind my ear. It's probably a lymph node. Alas, I've spent all these hours poking and playing with it, freaking out about what it might be... Now, as a result, it's very sore. Stupid anxiety.
I have no money. I will not be getting paid by work until the 14th of October. However, I will be being paid for both this month and next month, so I will be getting quite a bit, considering I've earned at least £75 this week alone.
I would probably have done the same thing. Wow, sucks it's going to take that long for a paycheck, but at least it will be a good one! I'm not happy about that either.
