I got to toss out the nasty pills I was supposed to be taking!! :)
That was a good thing. I'm sure there are other good things (I just finished another fun book, "Lonely Werewolf Girl," which was undeniably entertaining and witty) but there are also still a bunch of bad things. I'm still sick. I'm still in pain. I haven't eaten a proper meal in about four days. If not for a stop at Vons while filling my latest prescription yesterday, I wouldn't have been eating anything the past two. My throat is kind of swollen from the drip at the back of my throat (cold-related, not infection-related), and it makes it hard to swallow the multitude of pills I've been downing several times a day. And I have a final I absolutely, mathematically NEED to get an A on tomorrow afternoon.
I haven't thrown up since yesterday, though. That's another good thing. And Jessica gave me a care package--jelly beans and girl scout cookies, which I unfortunately can't eat, and Supernatural season 1.
That, I will happily eat right up. After I finish studying. :)

Optimism or Bust
I'm sick. Again.
Okay, that's nothing new. I've been dealing with this cold for going on three weeks now, and it's done nothing but get worse. Turns out, though, that I also have a stomach infection. The doc at student health thought it might be apendicitis, and the docs at the ER thought she might be right. So, after having blood drawn twice, an ultrasound, a CT scan, and a fever that had the endurance of the Energizer Bunny, turns out it's not apendicitis.
But hey, at least I can spell apendicitis now.
It's not so bad, I guess. The antibiotics will take care of the infection, Tylonal takes care of most of the pain, and Sudafed takes care of most of my cold symptoms. The only real downside at this point is that the antibiotics make me nauseous, and even that has an upside--I'll probably lose weight before this is over. Not such a terrible outcome, considering it's nearly summer. And I'm getting lots of fun reading done, even though I'm three days away from finals.
Okay, yes, it sucks ass. I'm trying to be optimistic.

Seven Days
...until I get to go home! (Six days until my final, though. Yikes.)
I'm sick again, but that's not really anything new. =P One more fencing class, on Thursday. Makes me a little sad. I'm definitely going to have to join the fencing club next year. :) I fenced today in our class tournament, even though when I showed up and realized I didn't have any more cough drops I thought I might die on the spot. And then I realized that feeling of I'd-kind-of-like-to-die-now-please wasn't just from the lack of cough drops--I took meds this morning that aren't supposed to be taken on an empty stomach. Oops.
I did all right, though. I only lost two rounds. ^_^
