[one] okay, so my doctor finally called me yesterday (and by that i mean her secretary called me yesterday after i called her the day before and asked for her to call me and let me know if i was dying at a faster rate than usual or not) aaaand it turns out that i do have lyme disease. so there's that. i'm gonna be on these stupid antibiotics (that i've been taking wrong oops) for a month and i'm already sick of them. i am really bad with taking medicine daily. i will stick with it for a week or so perfectly and then i slowly start to forget and mess up and stop caring. having to take medicine twice daily is just preposterous.
[two] on a happier note, the government shutdown that has thousands of people sitting at home without pay means that the metro was super empty today. like, ridiculously empty. not only did i get a seat from the minute i hopped on (during rush hour!) but there were only a handful of people on the car with me. the amount of people that usually fill up one car were probably spread out over the entire train. i'm not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome. and though i really do feel for the people who suddenly find themselves momentarily jobless because congress can't play nice, i really, really, really like the metro being empty. it's not that i can get used to this, it's that i already am.
[three] on a less happy note, i did really well on the exam that i took last week. the professor thinks i'm a really good writer and liked the bad example that i used when i couldn't think of anything better and thinks i have nice handwriting (*shrugs*). he gave me an A, which sounds just dandy, but then he mentioned that i have good ideas and should share them in class. i do not share things in class. i do not participate regularly unless there are less than five people in the class and i really, really have to. (i have a twenty-three year streak of this, i'm not about to blow it now) this class has twenty-five people in it and i don't have to. except now my professor is trying to force me to. like, he volunteered me to present next week and keeps trying to direct questions at me and if i wanted to participate then i would. but you know what? challenge accepted, dude.
and i know that this is not part two, but i have freaking lyme disease and thought i should record that on my blog for posterity's sake. also, updates are easier to write.

pssht you're just stalling! Tell us the lie!!!!
ReplyDeletelol you're really making it into a much bigger thing than it is. the lie will be posted sometime this weekend, though. next post for sure.
Deletesarah omg lyme?!!! im terrified of it, i was watching real housewives of bet. hills and one of the women on there had it for a year and didn't know. it started affecting her brain. im so glad you got it checked soon. inshallah a full recovery. i got tested a month ago bc i run a lot in the forest. where do you think you got bitten by a tick?!
ReplyDeleteim sorry if this sounds nervous. i am, but i don't want to make you feel worse.
oh wow a year?? that's crazy. so maybe i did catch it in time. at least my doctor thinks so. i was more nervous about it before, like when she told me i might have it. now it's just like, "well, i lived with it for a week and barely noticed so i can do this." also, my mom told me that my grandma had it and she's fine now, so i'm hoping it goes away completely. i'm just really sick of the antibiotics and they make me really nauseous now that i'm taking them on an empty stomach like i'm supposed to. inshallah it will be worth it, though.
DeleteR, I bet it was at Mason, she is always taking the shortcuts which are little paths between trees instead of the sidewalk, and you know Sarah, always in flip flops.
ReplyDeletethis is pretty much what we all believe happened. but the forest is such a shortcut to my car so i refuse to stop using it.
