College Life

Woot! well, i noticed that i havent posted anything since, april, which to say is a really long time. i think i should post something up every once in a while.

i've been doing a lot of thinking, but then again, a lot of not thinking either. this past week i've been sick =[

i feel like writing about my sick journey.
so on wednesday i feel a little sick, just out of it you know?
then on thursday i wake up not wanting to go to class but i go anyways because its a lab and there are dire consequences when i miss those stupid classes. after chem lab and lecture, i eat and go home and sleep. now i'm coughing like crazy. so i just sleep it out
friday morning i wake up feeling like crap and i email both of my teachers saying that there's no way i can come into class today and that i'm just like crap. i cough out phlegm and i have this major headache and i'm in pain and yada yada
saturday and sunday i stay home sick, i sleep most of the time. i watch a lot of the movies that i downloaded from home, lol. i get really bored from watching all these movies though. it gets that way after your forth movie or so. lol but i'm still in pain and i'm coughing like crazy.
so monday i call the health center and tell them whats up and that i took tylenol and it doesnt help. so they tell me to go to the pharmacy and get just cough medicine with something to help the phlegm. so i walk alll the stupid way over there dying on the way because of the cough. and i buy the medicine, go home and make some chicken noodle soup for myself. lol
the medicine doesnt help at all, i still feel like dying, i give it another day, which means tuesday passed too
so on wednesday, i call the health center again saying the med didnt help and i still feel like crap, good stuff. they tell me to come in and see the doctor. oh boy, they have the best service, no doubt, i'm sitting there sick and amazed at the same time. lol.
so the doctor tells me that i have a lung infection. i'm like what the ....freakkkkk......
she gives me some antibiotics and some inhalers to help with the breathing. who would've ever guessed that i had a lung infection. i thought it was just a normal cough or cold.
oh well, i'm a lot better now and i can't get over it.

my health is totally on a higher level of appreciation now in my book. i need to eat and stay healthy. i definitely dont want anything like this happening again. stupid lung infection, not that i couldve avoided it anyways but yeah.

it also really helped to put into perspective how fragile i am. my life is seriously in the hands of my almighty God. He's the one who decides when i go and how i go. i'd be a little sad if i died from a lung infection, i'd rather die saving someone but who knows, only God does.
He holds my life in his hands, and i'm really thankful to him for everything that i have.
