there's always ups & downs

today was pretty bad...

i woke up at 7:00 am and left krystina's house, to go home and get my bag and then go to class at 9:00.
unfortunately, though...i felt really sick, and nauseous. i don't know what it was. maybe it was the wine, though i don't think i had a lot. or maybe the Chinese food we got last night was bad, and i got sick from eating it. it was probably a combination of the two. but either way, my morning was terrible.

i could hardly stay awake on the metro and walking around, and my nausea was only intensified by the shaky movement of the subway train flying through its tunnels. on my way to school after getting my bag, i had to get off suddenly at a random station because i was convinced i was going to throw up all over everyone on the train. (i probably looked so strange to the people around me) so i ran to one of the little trash bins in the station, but nothing came out. after resting a little bit and taking deep breaths, i got back on the train.

i finally made it to my class...but i suffered all the way through it. i even had to get up and leave the class at one point to again attempt to throw up. it didn't happen. but i WAS sick in other ways, though. i won't get into the specifics, because you don't want to know. haha. but yeah, when noon came around, i was so glad to get out of school and return home to bed. so, i promptly did so.

i thought i would fall asleep instantly...but i couldn't. alex and michael came through at random times, changed, etc., and left again. i probably looked like the most anti-social hermit ever. i'm usually not, guys! i promise. today was just a waste of a day. subsequently, i didn't really take any pictures today. so, i apologize.

i finally fell asleep at 5:00ish, and only just now woke up at 9:30ish. but it's too late to do anything now...so i might just eat (since i haven't all day) something small from my refrigerator box, and then go back to sleep for the night. i'm glad tomorrow is wednesday, because it's my day off from classes! i have a few things to go out and get done, so hopefully i won't feel sick tomorrow too.
