you know what stinks? When you call someone up to ask for help on your french assignment.....only to find out all the answers are in the back of the workbook. Faaaantastic......sweet, sweet humiliation....

So it's official now. I'm moving. Last night I moved most of my clothes and some other stuff. Other than being a floor down from all my friends, the worst part of this move will be the placement of the new RA office. It will be two rooms down, about 20ft away from my Friday and Saturday night "hangout" room. It may be tough....

Found on the back of Starburst Hard Candy: "Enjoyment Tip:While enjoying this candy, avoid activities that could cause it to LODGE in your throat." hmmm....that WOULD make everything more enjoyable! I should remember that next time....

It's the second week of classes and I've had 3 of my Tuesday/thursday class (including today). In this class, we can miss two days and then we fail. Each class is actually 2 days because the class lasts about an hour and 45 minutes. So there's a kid on my floor that is in this class. This kid, Hickdog we call him, never really sleeps and is notorious for missing class. Last semester he skipped the max. amount of days for the required gym class.....and then dropped the course. Yup....he missed today. ON THE THIRD DAY OF CLASS!!!! Basically everyone on our floor is sick of this stuff and can see that he may end up failing out of college. So I went into his room when I got back from class, knocked on the door, walked in, and yelled at him. I GUARANTEE HE DROPS THIS CLASS!

just thought i would give a room update quick before I hit the sack. Last time I wrote that I was moving in with a friend. Well, that friend stabbed me in the back and let someone else move in before I had a chance. So then I had another place possibly, only to find out that the kid already had someone lined up. Meanwhile the RHD is breathing down my neck and getting all pissy and almost raising her voice to me and getting all mad at me. I'm like...."I'm trying to move out!! There's no place to go though, what do you want me to do!!??!?!?!" and she's like "you can't stay in this room. You have to leave. This situation cannot continue." Well what do you think I'm trying to do!!??!! If there's no place to go, then what the heck can I do about it??? I wrote a paper on this for my Composition class...we'll see what the proff says.....

today has been the worst day of my life....excluding when I got my wisdom teeth removed....and memorial day weekend 1999

I've figured out why I feel so crappy today. The gauze is affecting my sinuses. It is so far up in my nose, my body is trying to get rid of it. My eyes are watering, my nose is running, and I'm sneezing like crazy. I wish I could just pull this out, but I do not want to bleed again....I wish I could concentrate enough to do my homework....

and now we just had a fire alarm...good thing I wasn't in bed....

Why does every bad thing happen to me??? Last night, someone pushed open a door and it slammed into my head and broke my glasses. I got them fixed today and then was happy, untill about 11:30 tonight. And then I got the worst nose-bleed Wartburg College has seen in many many many years. I was watching "signs" with a bunch of people when it happened and I ran to the bathroom to get some toilet paper. Now, a few of you may have witnessed my nose bleeds, but for those of you that haven't, my nose doesn't just bleed....it litterally streams out. So I was bleeding all over and it was pretty gross....but it DIDN'T stop! I started getting a little.....actually REALLY nervous and had friend stay with me. Pretty soon he called security for me...and then I started bleeding out of BOTH NOSTRILS!!!! (actually I found out that it had just pooled over and was draining out of the other one too). I've heard many methods to stop a nose-bleed...one of which is to tilt your head back. Well ladies and gentlemen, I tried that but then started to choke on all the blood...and stopped tilting. By then, like flies to poo, a large group of people had gathered and I was getting rather worried. Another friend let me duck into his room and hang out there and try to calm down. The next 10 minutes is kinda sketchy for me...security came, and the friend that called talked to him. Then the RAs on duty stopped in and wanted to know what I wanted to do and if I should go to the hospital or not. Hmmm....hospital for just a nose-bleed??!?!? I decided that I should switch toilet paper wads and then decide. (for convience purposes, the friend that called is Ian and then friend that let me sit in his room is Ben) So Ian and Ben followed me into the bathroom to make sure I didnt' pass out or anything. Knowing that this wad was going to me FULL of blood, I warned Ian and Ben, but they assured me they were fine. Well, Ben took one look at the 2 inch blood clot coming out of my nose and left the bathroom. Needless to say, it kept on bleeding and I went to the ER. So I'm in the ER without my glasses, hands and face caked with blood, answering questions about where I live. The doctor came into the room and looked at the situation and went to work. He tried to clean it....it bleed.....he used some chemicals to cauterize it and then sprayed some nasal stuff in there....and it started to bleed again.....he started to put some gauze in and it bled like a banshee.....so then he had me pinch it shut while he thought of something new. So he started to cauterized it again (this crap burns like hell and it was liquid and ran down my throat and sat there burning and burning at my eys were watering and......uuuuuuhhh....so it stopped and he crammed a TON of coated gauze up my nose....about as far up without it killing me...and then coated my nose with Iodine and taped the gauze in. I have to keep it in until monday or tuesday.
So I'm sitting here, with a yellow, taped up nose, with a strange liquid seeping out of the taped and clear side. FAAAAAAAANTABULOUS! So that was my night and I still feel like crap. I took a picture of my ugly face, though....I should have taken some of the bloody sinks....but I was too scared.....good night, and sleep for me, because I dont' think I will for a while....stinking leaky nose....
