Well, I feel a bit better today - probably because... I slept! WoOoO! *dance of joy* As I got home (my kind advisor drove me home, something that has occured quite frequently and I am grateful for, as it saves me $1, and provides interesting conversation of the 'have you read...-no, but you NEED to see this movie..." kind), I wasn't feeling too hot, exactly. I was about to go to my room and just sprawl on the bed and cry, when Gene and Aziza asked if I wanted to go to Elmo's with them. After a first no, I changed my mind - the food there is just too nice.
As we got there, I had a nice bowl of veggy chili, a small Caesar sallad, and a grilled cheese sandwhich, all of it very yummie. It also relieved me of the duty of cooking something myself, which felt like a very daunting task to my soft brain. Yeyy. Once home, I went back to my room to read and just.. breathe. And then the phone rang.
It was one of those fitness/health gym places, calling to tell me that I had very randomly won a free month of membership, no strings attatched. Blah. How come no one randomly selects me from their phone registres to receive 30 gallons of their new ice cream? Bah. I know it's just one of those random things to suck you in, but I feel all obligated to go now - I could even bring a friend - yet, I know, I would hate it, my selfasteem would sink like a rock, and I wouldn't come back after the first time. *shrug* Whatever. (I know what it _really_ was - it's the Universe's own way of telling me "Hey, FatAss, take a hint!!".. bah.)
I returned to my bed, and read "Black Water" by some Oates woman (actually a book my advisor suggested on the way home, so we swung by the library and picked it up - I like it, so far [though it's not a jolly book, exactly]), it was 8.30 something, turned a page and --zoom. Fell asleep. Apart from brief periods of waking up to undress/go pee/set the alarm, I slept till 7 am (and nearly missed the bus to school, but made it anyways), and woke up... a bit less foggy headed, and with eye lids that actually didn't mind staying open. Refreshing, to say the least.
And that was the health update for today.
Actually, that concludes ALL of the update :) I'm going home for my 3 day weekend. yey - three days to catch up on all the introduction chapters to all my classes I haven't had time to read yet. And it seems me and Jesse are on a mission tomorrow to go buy real life journals. I want to try and keep a real one - one with thick paper pages that I can attach ticket stubs and things into. Ooo.
