Stomach Flu
My first experience with the stomach flu. It was great. It started yesterday, also when I had a midterm..
I didn't go to bed until 2 or 3 cuz I was studying for my midterm, woke up at 5, feeling completely sick and needing to vomit. Got up, emptied out my stomach. Tried to drink some water, got the chills. I attempted to turn on the heater, but in my state of delirium I had supposedly turned on the AC instead? So I was bundled up in a sweater, sweat pants, and under all my blankets, shivering. Woke up 2 more times to vomit out all the water that I had drank. And I had wonderful friends that called me at 9 to make sure I would wake up in time for my 10 o'clock midterm. At that point I wasn't even sure if I could make it to my midterm, but I checked the make-up exam policies, and the make up would be an essay question. And since we all hate essay exams, so I decided I would suck it up and take the midterm anyways. But before I left for my midterm, I had to upchuck my liquids one last time.
So I took my midterm (social psychology) in record time. It was 75 questions, and I finished it within 40 minutes. That's like 2 questions per minute. I was definitely not feeling well during the midterm, I think I started to get a slight fever then. So after I just bubbled whatever answers, I ran out there and vomited into some bushes, didn't get to a bathroom in time. By then, I realized something was clearly off. I called my mom who insisted that I go to the health center.
They held me there for a really long time to make sure I could keep down liquids, but I started dry-hurling, and they were worried I would just upchuck all the liquids I just drank. And from a few tests, they also said I was dehydrated. So I was given the option of having an IV to rehydrate me, or taking an anti nauseating pill. I opted for the anti-nauseating pill option. After a while, they finally let me go and once I got home I took some advil for my fever and knocked out.
I'm doing a lot better since then, but I'm very hesitant to eat anything, I had half a slice of bread and it didn't settle that well, so that was that. I'm drinking lots of water though! And Gatorade.
Oh, so for my psych midterm, I had emailed the professor immediately after I got home about the situation and how I rushed through the test cuz I was sick, and he's giving me the option of making it up. Woot. But still an essay exam, so I gonna wait to see how well/not well I did before I decide. Haha.
Hopefully I can still play at Sean Ryan this weekend. I've been looking forward to it. And my recovery is going very well.
On a completely other note, I have organized a game of assassins for ultimate, and it's so much fun even if I'm not playing. Good team bonding.. more like stalking, but both is fun. Haha.

Update
The 3 midterm in 2 days pulled off without a hitch. Got solid B's on all of them, so it's looking good. :) And the next ones are a bit more spread out, so I can focus more individually on each of them and hopefully pull up my grades a bit. It took me three years (well, start of the third) to start worrying/focusing on grades. Awesome, at least it happened right?
We had Chico last week which was bundles of fun. We lost every game, but I think we played well. It's hard cuz we (and by we, I mainly mean Danica) had to figure out subbing and coaching while we played. And we had to spread out our players evenly, but we've got some pretty awesome rookies. And there were times when we had good flow. There's still so much to work on, but our team is looking snazzy. I had the closest thing to a lay-out. Haha. My offender had an in cut, and I was right on her hip, it was a low throw and to the other hip that I was not on. I got low and tried to get a hand on it, touched it, and guess had a little lay out thing. I must say layouts are painful. Since I missed the D, I had to get up and put the mark on, but I wanted to just lie on the ground and be a baby. Hahaha. I had a few good hucks, nice pool plays.
Sean Ryan is approaching. We've got a lot of girls again, I'm not sure what we're going to do. But I'm really excited, we finally get to meet all the other teams. I have high hopes for our team this year. We all just need to be committed and dedicated to this team which I feel like some people need to work on..
So I watched HSM yesterday! Sooooo good! I love it. Zac Efron is quite hot now. Or he can be, sometimes he still looks funny. I love it, I keep listening to the soundtrack over and over again. Wonderful!
Anyways, I have to work on a paper cuz I fail at life.
