Today was CRAZY!!! Where should I start? I don't know, but this is probably all going to come out in bits and pieces. I woke up at ten thirty this morning because I was planning on taking the day off to go get myself looked at by someone of the medical profession. In order for this to take place I had to call and make an appointment with the Vanderbuilt clinic, but I they couldn't see me until Monday! I just told them I was going to go to the ER at their hospital, so I did. I got Aaron to take me... in his Land Rover :) and I did all of the paper work and sat there for an hour in trioge (don't annoy me with your spelling critiques. I'm 19 1/2, I already know I can't spell and I don't need you to re-affirm that for me... sorry about that). Finally they got a bed ready for me and I got to go in and stip down into one of those revealing little hospital gowns... I cheated though, and left my underwear and socks on :) ...However, later on, due to the complications of my illness, I was humiliated anyways, and it didn't matter that I was still wearing undergarments... They are doctors with much more education than I, so mere boxers didn't stop them from striping me of all dignity. I wonder if they are sinister enough to actually laugh at my feble attempts to protect myself right before they enter the door of my room. Well... that's all you get to hear about that... I'll just entertain you with the other stuff that went on during this time. I basically did a great deal of waiting where upon I watched my first soap opera on tv. I was too lazy to get up and change the channel by hand, and there was no remote. I also passed a little time playing old school videogames on my PDA. This was not my first time going to the hospital as a patient, but it was my first time going by myself. It was pretty neat, but I wouldn't like to do it again. I'm feeling light hearted about it though. If you get to know me well enough, you'll be able to see that I'm light hearted about most things. It takes alot to get me riled up because I have a long fuse, but I've heard it said that the longer the fuse, the bigger the bomb, so don't test it out. I did have to come back and face reality though, which was a day of missed classes. I have an exam to make up on Friday thus far, and who knows what else I missed. As I close, I would like to give a special shout out to the two guys that looked out for me today, even though they did harass me about my visit. Aaron and Camren, thanks yous guys. Well tomorrow is a new day with new medication, and new things to laugh at, so I'll keep you posted. Here's a quick quote: "You never rest. Fighting the battle of who could care less."-Ben Folds.
Strange...yes, but applicable.
