this week.

Officially sucks.
This is going to be a vent sesh post and I'm not even sorry about it ;)

It all started yesterday morning, I got sick, (threw up, sorry for the grossness but I won't go into detail) but then I felt well enough to go to school, so I went late and of course as soon as I sat down in my first class, she was like, "I think we're going to stop there. Sorry it's so early." Really lady?? Anyway, so then I went to read some passages for my friend who is a research assistant and is helping on a study a professor in my department is doing to test the nasality of native Utah speakers. They are doing this so they can have more precise measures for speech therapy and inserts for cleft palate surgeries! Pretty awesome if you ask me, so of course I wanted to help with that!

After I left the lab, my stomach hurt a little and so I figured I should eat something since there was nothing in my stomach. I ate a banana and then called my mom, upset at whether I should come home or not, because I didn't want to get sick at school, but I also didn't want to miss school and work if I wasn't going to be sick. I was also crying--over freaking stomach flu--lame, I know. I get really upset when I get stomach sick. Weird! After I got off the phone, the banana didn't work so I decided to just call it a day and go home. Luckily, my dad was in SLC for a job interview and could pick me up. I was glad I didn't have to deal with public trans while I was sick!

I was so grateful that my boss was way chill about everything but I was mad that I had to miss work for that! I already have to take time off in the coming weeks to finish my clinical observation hours that are due the end of April, so to have to take time off to be sick is stupid and unnecessary!

Anyway, yesterday for the rest of the day, I was sick off and on. I have a test today and I am missing it. I emailed my professor and she told me I'll have to take it in the testing center. Dang it!! Hate that! I wanted to take it normally with everyone else. Today I feel ok and have kept small amounts of very bland food down, but I am so DIZZY! Really is the weirdest feeling. I didn't go to school because I feel so disoriented. Weird. I should be better by tomorrow and can take another test I have. Why this happened on midterm week is beyond me!

The only good thing is that I didn't move this week after all (story later), because for some reason, it's a lot easier to be sick at my parents' house than my apartment. Does anyone else know why that is? haha. I didn't move because last week and weekend were crazy and this week is super busy. I was going to try to move little by little this week, but I decided not even to worry about it until Friday. That actually worked out better because then I don't have to worry about rent for March :) I do want to be hanging out with my roomies though! I went to church with them on Sunday and that was fun!

On a related note, next weekend, my roommate is doing a murder mystery dinner. I was fine when she told me it was a group thing, but then she turned it in to a date thing! Now I have to find a date when I'm new to the area and I don't know anyone! Why does all the fun stuff have to be so date-y?? I don't want to be left out of all the fun, but I also don't want to have to find a date all the freaking time who doesn't even really want to come. Seriously, all my Comm. Sci. and Disorders classes are predominately girls and there's nine people total in the one Ling. class I'm taking this semester. Not good odds on either end! No one from school. Maybe I can convince one of my guy friends from k-town to drive down and come with me! If all else fails, my roomie is going to set me up with someone. Dismal. After the murder-mystery, we will be going to a dance. It's at The Tower at the stadium and so I would want to go for the views of the city (I hear they're spectacular from there!) but not the dance! When I was in high school, I was all over dances! Loved them! But now, that is definitely not my thing. Plus with a blind date...I start to run out of things to say. Honestly, I've never clicked with a blind date to be able to be fine in a situation like that. It just gets weird! Anyway, wish me luck!
