This weekend, to say the least, was exhausting (which is sad because I didn’t get a lot done).
After work Friday, I went to the doctor. I received a prescription to help with my respiratory infection, and was sternly instructed by the nurse, the doctor and the pharmacist to refrain from alcoholic consumption for the next 10 days. The reason: it would basically make me get violently ill after one sip. Okay, guys, you convinced me.
They always say you always want what you can’t have. I’m here to tell you it’s true. Though I am 21, I rarely feel in the mood to consume alcohol just randomly. However, with my stress and sickly feeling, I really wanted a glass of wine with my dinner Saturday night. No dice. Also, I always, always crave Tasty Tacos on Sundays, at which time they are closed. Without fail, my stomach told me a late dinner of Tasty Tacos sounded amazing even earlier than normal at 10:10 p.m. on Saturday (they close at 10). Again, no dice.
However, I got an amazing, god-sent gift from Claire Celsi, who brought me both my letters of recommendation for law school and homemade chicken noodle soup (delicious, especially with the unsalted saltines I bought Friday – and yes, I bought unsalted ones, I know I’m weird).
Overall, my weekend was shot. I spent about 80 percent of my time in my bed, either sleeping, trying to sleep, resting, trying to focus or working on the computer. In addition, I used up an entire box of Kleenex – I should buy stock in that. Like healthcare lawyers, tissues will always be in demand, so long as the human condition remains mortal.
I took an online exam yesterday for my medical terminology course, and halfway through, I completely had a random surge of nervous adrenaline, which made it very hard to get through the remaining half hour of the exam. To illustrate my condition, I felt like George of the Jungle when he consumed an entire can of non-brewed generic coffee grounds. But I completed it and am fairly confident in an “A” grade.

After dozens of Sudafed tablets, ibuprofen tablets and tissues, I feel quite a bit better today. Hopefully this all clears up soon.
P.S. - nothing is more comfortable than men's sweatshirts. (And yes, I'm wearing one now).
