Dr. Visit

Throat was so bad this morn, I decided to go to the University Health Center. My teacher said that strep could attack the heart if it wasn't treated, and I definitely can't risk that. Luckily, my classroom that I teach on Tuesdays went on a field trip, so I had time to go this morn. Went in and they said that they only take appts. Great.
Well, they happened to have an opening. Wonderful! Just my luck!
Saw the dr. Nurse swabbed my throat (painful!) and I had to get my blood drawn. They ended up poking me twice because my veins are so small that the needle was too big and couldn't get blood out of it. Nurse had to find a tiny needle. Not the most pleasant experience.
About 20 minutes later, I got the results that I didn't have mono or strep, just a nasty cold virus. I was very relieved, but I still don't have any medication besides Zicam, throat spray, and ibprofen (over the counter stuff) to soothe my throat, and none of it stops it from hurting. Blech.

I'll be over it soon though, God willing. Just painful.

I am counting down the days until the weekend. I want to go back home. I'm tired of living in this college town. I'm just so ready to move on from this point in my life. It's dumb that everyone just wants to drink/party all the time. There are other things to do! I can't do that crap anymore (not that I really did in the first place). I have responsibilities and my grades actually matter. I'm graduating in May and getting married in June. I just don't think people around here can comprehend that.
Someday.

I'm really looking forward to The Golden Compass coming out on December 7th. Mom and I want to see it. I read the series recently and they are fantastic books! Anti-Christian, but still a good story. I, unlike many out there, can distinguish between fiction and reality and can handle a book, even if it doesn't go with my personal beliefs. I would have to cut out thousands of books if I did that.

Alright, I need to get to bed. I'm super tired.

Almost medicine time!
