So it turns out that the vomiting thing is due to gastroenteritis and not the formaldehyde. Oh joy. I don't know how I got it (probably food from the caf?), but this takes the Worst Timing of the Year award. I already missed two days of classes, as well as the guidance test earlier. I just hope I feel better tomorrow, because there is no way I could miss the orientation for immersion.
frustration
19 June 2009 06:55 pm1. I have otitis media in my left ear, which basically means that it feels stuffed and the sounds I hear have weird acoustics. The doctor told me earlier that it's in its latter stages which he felt was odd since I should probably be whimpering in pain right now. I told him it's because I have a high tolerance for pain, though I didn't get to tell him the story about how a doctor pulled the fracture implants out of my arm without anaesthesizing me. (I always love telling that story for some strange reason.) I'm told that I should avoid travelling by plane or going up a mountain or basically doing something that would change the pressure in my ears or else my eardrum might rupture. Joy. Anyway, I'm on antibiotics and decongestants right now. I just hope I don't go deaf when all this is over and done with.
2. The doctor's clinic looked so nice, I want to live there and be the one to operate his endoscope. Who knew being an ENT doctor would bring in that much money?
3. I'm already getting tired, just thinking of the things coming up this semester. Comparative anatomy lecture and lab, cellular and molecular biology, PRAXIS, and thesis-writing in 18 weeks -- oh joy and rapture!

The semester starts on Monday and I. am. SICK. Well, not-quite-sick. You know, the type of sick where you have a dreadful headache and a runny nose but no fever? The kind that makes you want to stay in bed forever even though it's unjustified?
Urgh. I blame the hot weather and my sister's propensity to keep the air-conditioner at full blast even after I tell her it's too cold for me. D:

Aaaaaaaaaand typhoon season starts once more. But it's only the second week of May. Why is it so early this year? :/

In other news, I'm sicker than a sickly thing. Again. The nurses at Medical City suspected I have the flu when they examined me earlier. Several people jokingly asked me not to be the first carrier of swine flu in the Philippines. Why oh why didn't I get my flu shots earlier this summer?
Anyway, I went home early, on account of the fact that I'm liable to collapse in front of the patients during the activity (baking banana muffins, if you must know). That, and the sclera on both of my eyes were scarily red earlier, which seriously disturbed some people. I just wish I could go to work tomorrow, but that seems unlikely from what I'm feeling right now. Urgh.

(no subject)
18 June 2007 07:20 pmAm siiiiiiiiiiiick. The first thing I did this morning was to throw up, which pretty much sums up what I felt all day. Thank God my classes ended at 12.30; I was able to pass out as soon as I got home.
I would dearly, dearly love to skip school tomorrow, seeing as I only have two subjects and all, but it's going to be the first proper session we'll have for Spanish, not to mention that we're going to have a quiz in PSY106. (Which, by the way, I haven't studied for yet. Damn.) But if I do go to my classes tomorrow, I'd probably not have enoughwill to live energy left to attend CH8 on Wednesday. Damn. Damn, damn, damn.
Urgh, just why do I get sick easily again?
