Still sick!

Man oh man, do I HATE being sick! Today has been the absolute worst day to be sick, but I somehow managed to get through it. I woke up this morning with a nasty eye infection. Yeeeeah. Disgusting, I know. I got very little sleep last night due to my horrible cough keeping me up and had to wake up waaay early for my Praxis test at 8 am. Fortunately enough, I passed my reading praxis with flying colors! It was quite the relief to see a juicy score on that screen after I finished racking my poor, tired brain for an hour. As for the writing, I feel as though I did well, but I get my results back from that section in a few weeks. We'll see how that turns out.

After the test, I skipped my math class and went straight to health services. It took a while, but I finally got to see a doctor! She was the same doctor I saw last week and she is just wonderful. She gave me all of the medicine I need for my eye and my cough. She hooked me up with some awesome cough syrup that will help me finally get some much needed sleep. :) Thanks, doc!

Oh, I should also mention something cool I found out while reading through entertainment magazines in the waiting room. Tim Burton is coming out with a new animated movie in October 2012 called Frankenweenie. This was something he actually came up with in 1984 and couldn't create a full movie because of budget cuts. Instead, he made it into a short film. But now... it's going to be a movie! I'm such a sucker for Tim Burton films, so I couldn't resist sharing the news.

Sparky from Frankenweenie

In other news, I gave in to shirt.woot's mystery shirt special once again... but this time I bought THREE shirts. The lucky number. For those who are not familiar with shirt.woot, it's a website where there is a new shirt every 24 hours for only $10 with free shipping. Every now and then they have a mystery shirt sale where each shirt is $6.66, but you don't know what's on the shirt. Most "wooters" say it's the safest bet to buy three shirts during these sales, so this time I did! At the last mystery sale I only bought one and received an awesome "Metro-gnome (Metronome)" shirt, art courtesy of Ian Leino.

You can't really see it, but I'm wearing the shirt in this picture!
Oh, and there's my super-cute brudder. :3

When I get the shirts in the mail, I'll be sure to model them for my blog! Woohoo! Until next time... :)

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
