So after Colby and I got home from a fabulous and delicious dinner at Sunset Bay where we stuffed ourselves with lobster - I started feeling sick. It just progressively got worse and worse through the night and after I puked my brains out at 3:30a I finally got some sleep. I woke up feeling like death and went to the Health Clinic were the diagnosed me with "gastroenteritis, possibly a bacterial form." So I had my blood drawn, a shot in my "gluteal muscle" aka butt cheek to make sure I wouldn't have to keep making bathroom trips and prescriptions of Cipro (a wide coverage antibiotic), an anti-spasmatic for my stomach cramps and an antiemetic (aka anti nausea). I slept ALL day yesterday with only a few hundred calories ingested and only because you have to eat when you are taking Cipro. I woke up today feeling much better than yesterday but still pretty crappy. Good thing my Mini is on Monday!!!!!!!!! Damnit. I can't believe this.
Luckily Colby isn't sick too, he has the immune system of an ox. I have only seen him with one stomach ache in the 1+ years. I have quite a few friends who are also sick - so its pretty depressing around campus right now.
Back to studying, hydrating and wanting to die.
Unbelievable.
Countdown to California: 2 months and 18 days.
