Woke up today, feeling stuffed up, runny, and not wanting to go to school. A couple days ago, the day was going along fine until late in the night. You ever get that sense that you are going to be sick before you actually get sick? Something just isn't right. Like, you can feel that biological barrier shut down, and you know some nasty pathogen from hell, that would just love to take you down, sees the open door into your body.
And you ever have one of those days where, mentally, your just kinda off? You're not quite yourself and you don't think correctly? Well apparently, God thought it would be a wonderful idea for me to be sick, feel weird, and take a rather important lab exam for college all in the same day. Oh yes, perfect timing. I frankly can't argue with Him about it, but ya just gotta love how life works, the good and the bad.
So anyway, I dragged myself into class, told my friends that there was absolutely no way I would be able to go and play football with them today, and started the exam. The exam consisted of several 'stations' with models of different organs in the human body, all of which had parts that you needed to identify. I don't know how off I was, but I went brain dead when I stared at those
models. I couldn't believe it, but I actually forgot most of the parts of the heart. I usually am pretty good with heart parts. Vena-Cava, Aorta, Ventricles, and all that stuff. Easy. It all faded away though as I took the exam. I only hope there was a small portion of the intelligent Dave there to write down the right answers. My teacher looked over at me as i took the exam and sympathetically asked, 'David, are you doing alright? You don't look that great at all.' I quickly shook my head, no, and continued on, trying to figure out if it was the kidney or the spleen that contains the loop of nephron. (It's the kidney)
I did nail the 'Microscope usage' part of the exam however, my teacher told me that much, so there is some hope that I passed.
After I finished the exam, I ran down to the cafeteria and grabbed some juice. Vitamin C kicks a colds butt, so I wanted to tank up on it. Then I went home, put the trash out, and headed up to my wonderful, and warm room. Minus the fact, of course, that there is a fine line between my room and my brothers. It's kinda like God and stuff. How He is three persons in one and all, well me and my brother's room as like two rooms on one. On my side, you have a floor with maybe a small pile of clothes, and a bit of junk. It's not immaculate, but it's livable. On the other side, there is no floor, no carpet, just a thick layer of clothes, and empty soda cans. Oh yeah, and a bed that sorta meshes its way with that whole side of the room. That's my brother's side.
So, I crashed down on my friendly bean bag, turned on the X-box, and duked it out on Madden 08. It was me, an epic coach of the Buffalo Bills boasting an undefeated 7-0 record, against the charged and loaded 5-2 Philadelphia Eagles. A battle for the ages for sure. But there was one problem. That epic Buffalo Bill coach had the sniffles. He could not play with the optimum reaction time that he normally would have on any old day. So he had a simple solution. He just selected the same plays, offensively, and defensively. The same exact play, every down, every quarter, all game. He didn't care, he just wanted to get his mind off the sniffles he had and veg on his bean bag. And he won! He won the game cause the Eagles just lost it and got sick of playing a against a dull coach who doesn't understand the word, 'complex'.
After the game, I considered watching tv or have some tea, but decided against it. Instead a I flopped onto bed and slept away.
After a good hour or so, I woke up to my phone a'buzzing next to me. It was my lady, Dot, informing me about something related to pumpkins and pies. It sounded good, and right then I got real hungry. Pie sounded good, but I lacked the energy to actually go and create something of such goodness. My brother and my dad are very inapt at cooking and things related to the kitchen, and my mum was at work. So, instead, I had a couple english muffins, with warm peanut butter lathered on top. It wasn't pumpkin pie, but hey, peanut butter and pumpkin sorta have the same color right? Sorta. :p
Well after that I got real bored. I didn't wanna go back to sleep, tv sounded real boring, and I didn't have the patience to read or listen to music. So I went out online. I had to bundle up and head out to some nearby steps where I can get wifi. I should be getting wifi in my own house rather soon I hope so I don't have to run outside with my laptop. Especially because I look like a homeless bum who managed to steal a decent computer. Kinda freaky.
Oh well, there was no real point to me writing all this, other than to update my blog, and do something that would kill off my boredom. It worked too, and if you read it all, then give yourself a pat on the back and have some tea, cause that's what I am about to do. :p
