GET OUT OF MY LIFE, NANCY.

Yesterday, after playing phone tag with the receptionist at the doctor's, the nurse finally called back and declared that the strep test was 100% negative. I knew it was just you, Nancy... ugh. I'm still sick, but feeling a lot better. I'm hopeful that tomorrow might be the day I feel new again, but I don't want to jinx it.

Speaking of "jinx"... since I've been sick, I've been playing a lot of Pokemon. And I mean a LOT. Even though I recently bought Pokemon Black, I decided to continue on my Pokemon Soul Silver journey instead. I've been training my Jynx all day, but I don't think my team is ready to face the Elite Four just yet.
...Maybe tomorrow I should read a book or crochet. Hahaha.

After being stuck in my house for 5 full days now (minus the trip to the doctor's), I can officially say that I have a mild case of cabin fever. I've been feeling irritable every now and then, along with quite a bit of loopiness. Yesterday and today I found myself laughing at things that probably aren't really as funny as I think they are. The point I think I'm trying to make is: I need to get out of here!

So Nancy, if you have it in your heart, please get out of my life and leave me alone. I'm no good at being sick. I want to be out of bed so I can play with my wittle brudder and eat normal foods and ice cream. I promise to take all of my vitamins next time and be more of a germaphobe when I'm around kids. If you leave now, I can assure you that life will be much happier in Virusland rather than in my body.

Sincerely,
Amy

Being sick is only good for a handful of reasons.

When you're sick you can...
-Skip out on work
-Watch TV
-Sleep in
-Sleep and not worry about anyone bothering you
-Sometimes have people make food for you

But there are A LOT of things you can't do if you want to get better.
For instance, you can't...
-Eat ice cream
-Eat candy
-Eat anything worth eating
-Hang out with people
-Go to work and make monies
-Go on trips
-Go to concerts
-Go ANYWHERE except bed
-Forget to take your medicine

I could go on. But seriously, being sick is horrible right now. And I really should be sleeping, but I had a very long nap today after my trip to the doctor's. So with my confused, restless body combined with my sore throat... I can't sleep. I guess things could be worse, though. I tested negative for strep, but they put me on antibiotics just in case. I can't say I was too thrilled to have left there without a proper diagnosis, but if it's not strep, it's only a stupid virus. So since they couldn't even name the virus, I'm just going to name it myself. Nancy the virus.
They said they'd do extra tests to see if it's strep and call me on Wednesday, so if it's not strep and it's just Nancy, then I can stop taking my antibiotics.

Nancy, if you're in there... I don't like you for making me sick. I need to work so I can make monies! Although today was a nice day off. No one likes to work on Monday. :P

I hate being sick.

So... I think I might be catching a cold. It was probably from a kid at work... ugh. I'm going to start taking a packet of Emergen-C every morning before work, now. All I really have is a sore throat, slight congestion, and a pretty severe headache. I shouldn't even be on the computer right now; I should be sleeping.

Anyway, aside from feeling under the weather, I also felt pretty productive today. Spencer and I loaded my car with all of my books I've been meaning to get rid of for years and brought them to a used bookstore. I ended up getting around $85 store credit and $9 in cash. After getting all of those books out, I felt pretty accomplished. With my store credit, I bought the 1st season of The Big Bang Theory and a giant Star Wars book filled with poster art. It's really cool. :) Spencer said it would make a nice coffee table book, haha.

Oh, I also got a new phone! I love it so far. Learning how to text on a touch screen is hard, though. Especially with autocorrect always trying to get in the way of my slang. :P I've had the weirdest things come up, but luckily I catch the mistakes before I send them. Sometimes.

I better go to bed now so I can rest up for work tomorrow. I'm just thankful I only have to work for 2 hours. Yay, Mondays.

Harry Potter, beachy weekends, and major confusion

It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been pretty busy lately. It's been mostly work these days, but on Thursday I went to the midnight premiere of The Deathly Hallows: Part 2! I dressed up with my friend Kelcey and her family. Kelcey and I saw it in 3D and got special Harry Potter glasses. It was totally worth going to see since it was the last premiere for Harry Potter. The movie itself was awesome, albeit emotional. Waking up that morning for work was not so pleasant, though.

I also managed to get away this weekend! Spencer and I went to the beach on Saturday and planned to have a little daycation. We ended up meeting with my sister Danielle and our friend Nick and stayed with them for another day! Even though we both got some pretty nasty blisters and sunburns, we had a great time. :)

Putting all the fun aside, I've been really thinking a lot lately about my major in college. Right now I am an Elementary Education major, and I haven't been so sure that it's really the major I want to stick with. I've thought about switching over to Early Childhood Development instead, but that might be a bad idea to switch since I already have so many credits for Elementary Education. Then I thought that maybe I could double major, but that would cost a LOT of money and take a lot of time to do as well. I wish I knew that I would have so much trouble with deciding my future, but I guess that's life. It's so unpredictable, but you've got to make the best of uncertainty and hope you're making the right decisions.

This week is probably not going to be very exciting. I got a call this morning saying that there aren't going to be as many kids as usual coming in, so instead of working all week like I was supposed to, I'm only working on Wednesday and Friday. It kind of sucks since I need the money, but hopefully next week I'll be on the schedule a lot more. I'll probably end up crocheting a lot this weekend and making an etsy or something. I need that money! Especially if I'm going to be a double major... Eeep.
