Well That Didn't Work

A FEW THINGS I HAVEN'T MENTIONED
Somehow, over the course of the last few weeks, I've failed to mention a few, relatively important, events of my oh-so-exciting day-to-day life. I'm sorry; I bow my head in shame. I could keep apologizing or I could get to the details...great...moving ahead.

1. I'm just starting to get over being quite sick. In fact, today was the first day since January 14th that I made it to my college writing course (the one with the really cool professor.) My doctor back in New Jersey started tampering with the dosage of one of my medications due to its ineffectiveness. Unfortunately, the increased dosage of that medication had a rather negative reaction with another medication I'm on. The combination made it virtually impossible for me to sleep. I got just over 20 hours of sleep in a 16-day span that ended this past Monday. On the nights that I did manage to get sleep, it was only for a few minutes because by the time I had tuckered myself out enough to fall asleep, it was 8:30ish in the morning and I have early classes. The lack of sleep quickly caught up with me and I began getting sick (flu-type sick) and missing them. It got so bad, last Friday, for example, that I would randomly go into shock; my body would start shaking uncontrollably, my temperature was changing extremely quickly, etc. After staying awake through the highest safe dosage of Sonata, the doctor FINALLY called me back this past Monday and knocked me out with a combination of Benadryl and this stuff called Seroquel. I'm beginning to get back to a normal (at least for a college student) sleep schedule.

2. I've had and ended a new relationship. His name was Danny, he's a junior at Georgetown, we met through a mutual friend, and we broke up yesterday. I broke up with him. I did it because while he's smart, sweet, and absolutely gorgeous, he has some major trust issues. He went nuts when I told him I was making plans with Dennis for this Saturday. I was more than willing to talk about it, but he wasn't. I can't be with someone who won't talk to me, especially about something like this. He didn't like that I play football with one of my friends here too much because it mandates physical contact between the two of us...it wasn't the trust though (he's been hurt before,) it was the fact that he refused to discuss it. I'm not terribly broken up over it, we were only going on for 2 weeks or so.

Alright, you're all caught up on my life, now get on with yours.

Oh ya, one week was a sufficient morning period. I ordered an iPod. Ya, I gave into mainstream culture, get over it.
