My hero for this week

Sorry for the lag in between my posts, but I'm just so busy that I hardly find time anymore! Plus nothing too exciting ever really happens to me. This past week, as usual was uneventful, despite me being more sick than I've felt in a VERY long time on Wednesday.

I went to bed on Tuesday night (at 7:30!!) not feeling very well, and had the LONGEST and most terrible night of my life. I was waking up every 10-15 minutes or so feeling INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. Whether it was because I was too hot, too cold, or aching, I just could not get comfortable in my bed. My back was KILLING me, my legs felt numb, my neck had about 80 cricks in it, and I had a terrible headache. Not to mention my nose was running, I had a sore throat, and a bad cough.

Needless to say, I woke up Wednesday morning feeling awful. I got up just before or around 8 AM, even though I didn't have class till 10. I tried having breakfast, and it made me feel a little better, I also took some Advil cold and sinus (since some of you know that it has worked wonders for me in the past) and some ibuprofen. I still did not feel good at all. So I sat on the couch with an ice pack on my head for a while, and debating over whether a shower would help me feel better, since for me, that is usually the case.

So I gave it a try....and....nothing. I still felt terrible. By this time, it is about 20 minutes before I need to walk out the door to make it in time for my first class of the day. I was still debating on whether or not I should go to class or not, since I HATE to miss class. For real. I hate missing it, because it just ends up being more work in the long run what with making everything up, getting notes from other students, etc. I just hate it.

Well I was still feeling so terrible, I got my pillow and ice pack, and just laid down flat on my still aching back on my bedroom floor. Surprisingly, it felt VERY good to lie down on the floor. And I started to doze off. I was STILL debating going to class at this time, and finally I just said, I am gonna have to miss at LEAST my first class of the day, Health, which I didn't really want to miss as we had a guest speaker coming in. But I promptly fell asleep. By the time I woke up, my second class of the day, Geology, was just starting, and I knew that by the time I got there, It would probably have been useless. So I just fell back asleep.

Well to make a long story short, (too late! ;-D) I found out the next day, through e-mailing my Geology professor that I had missed the Lab Exam! The lab exam that she said could only be made up if we had made plans with her AHEAD of time! I was horrified. But I explained the situation to her, how I had literally felt so sick that I honestly had completely forgotten all about the exam, and she agreed to let me make it up so long as I do so before class on Friday. Well I got it done Friday morning, and scored a 87%!! So pretty much my hero of the week is my Geology Professor, Wanda Hanlon! Thanks for that!

By the way, I do feel much better now!
