  • I Had What?!

    I had a decent weekend last weekend as far as I can remember. Nothing significant happened besides the fact that it was the last stretch before I started school again. I was kind of excited about going back to school -- I was going to get my Sociology test back, and I was going to spend some time in school and be productive. I like to be productive because, in all honesty, I really don't enjoy video games as much as I think I do. Don't get me wrong...I love video games. They've been a part of my life since I was a little kid. However, it's only temporary fulfillment. When I buy a new video game, it's like Christmas all over again. Eventually I get bored of that game and I buy another one (depending on how much money I have). Since I'm *kinda* watching my budget right now, I'm sticking with the stuff that I have.

    Anyways, I like to be productive. Kind of spices up the life, you know what I'm sayin'?

    Anyways, the weekend was decent until I did some research through my college website and found out that I had to do a regent's test last Monday. I completely forgot I signed up for it on March 15th! Not only did I sign up for it, but I decided to take the reading and writing test all in the same day. "No big deal..." I thought to myself. It's not like the regent's test is a test that you can actually study for. I started to start think more positive about the test and just wanted to get the test over with and not have to worry about it any longer.

    On Monday, March 15th, I woke up kind of exhausted. I noted to myself that my eyes were oddly more red than usual, put on my contacts, and left for school. "I need to start sleeping more often" I thought to myself as I was driving down the road. The sun seemed awfully bright, but then when you've just been through another season of winter...I guess you'd probably the bright sun to kind of blind your eyes when you're driving. It wasn't anything serious because I was still driving fine, it's just that the sun was really bugging me.

    I pulled into my usual parking spot at school, only I miscalculated my perception and actually ended up love tapping the cement wall with my left front bumper. You can hardly even tell I hit the wall, but it really bugged me for the whole day because I thought that something was wrong with me.

    After my classes, I sat in my car for a little while before I headed to the library. I gazed in my rear view mirror, staring at myself directly, noticing that my eyes were still bloodshot red. "This is odd...." I said to myself as I looked at my eyes in detail. Were my eyes dry? Were they just irritated? What was going on? Since my eyes looked bad and I didn't really feel any different, I figured my eyes were just irritated for some odd reason and went on with my dad.

    At 2:00 PM, I sat with a woman who had blond hair. She was decently attractive, definitely out of my league, but I felt that if I didn't say anything to her before the test would begin...it'd be awkward for the both of us. I establish conversation, cracked a few jokes, made her giggle a couple times. To be honest, I probably should've asked for her number, and I'll tell you that I have an excuse, but I really don't. I didn't want her number because asking for it didn't even cross my mind. Maybe it was "learned helplessness"...who knows.

    I think I did decently well on the test...but we'll find out when I get the results (which I don't know how I'm going to receive them...so...this ought to be interesting lol).

    On Tuesday, my eyes just did not feel right. They were still bloodshot red, and NOW I started actually feeling something weird. My eyes felt heavy, and something didn't feel right...and yet I STILL believe that I was "sleep deprived". I felt kind of miserable, to be honest, and I had no idea why. After I took my math test (and probably failed from my lack of studying), I stepped outside the building only to witness the brightest light I've ever experienced. Walking outside was like looking at the sun. I was temporarily blind, letting out a soft groan with my eyes closed shut and water forming from my tear ducts. Having trouble walking to the car, I was eager to get home because I knew that something was wrong with me and I needed to tell one of my family members.

    Turns out I had pink eye. Since Sunday night.

    Since I found out I had pink eye, I decided to not go to school on Wednesday, and I actually missed my math class on Thursday. I didn't feel so great, so I just didn't feel like going.

    But besides that, the weather is good! Spent some time with my friends, and now they're already going back to college again. Nooo!
