Huh? Oh, okay....let me get this done with -- I'm a schmuck...I don't write, I don't update, I suck....okay? Better?

As I was saying....What a week!!! I did tons of stuff..... like get my back fixed. Finally. I've been dealing with this horrible pain in my back that appeared when I sat, stood, or lay down....especially in classes, my computer chair, and my own bed. It's been a while with this...since I had my teeth out really. But it's gotten worse and worse and I noticed that I couldn't sleep well anymore, and I was a general BITCH to live with. So I told my mom I wanted to go to the doctor. She suggested her chiropractor....I giggled of course...I'm like that, skeptical. I said "A back-breaker? A witch doctor? No way!" Then I went to bed.
Woke up the next morning feeling the same way...
And the next morning...
And I got migranes every day for a week......THEN I changed my mind. I went to the witch doctor.

Now don't get me wrong here...I see nothing WRONG with chiropractors. They're cool. I just always thought of them as a kind of doctor reserved for those people who have been smashed up in car accidents, people with weak backs, and hypochondriacs. I'm none of those so I never pictured myself going to one. I'm just like that.

So there I am, in the Doc's office, doing my best to smile. My back hurts, and this guy's gonna twist it around, make things crack, and generally do some stuff I imagine will hurt tomorrow. And he did...surprisingly I actually felt better neck-wise almost immediately....I was impressed. Then my lower back started to hurt....and that didn't hurt before. But he had said my one hip was lower than the other and fixed it. So I decided to see how I felt in the morning.

Then I woke up the next morning.....sort of. I couldn't MOVE. My head felt like I had spent the night getting it smashed into a brick wall over and over, and then I listened to White Zombie and Sepultura to make it feel better. I was miserable. I'm one of those people who NEVER runs a fever. I'm sick a bunch because I'm underweight and over-tired, but I never run a fever. Ever. But I had a fever. I spent the whole day on the couch thinking about how much going to Japanese is going to suck because I'm going to be SO far behind fo missing the last three classes for headaches that made me want to cry.

Grrrrr.

But then I decided to not let it get to me...to suck it up and clean my room. Big mistake.
Yeah, I ended up cleaning my room....I even vacuumed. But that was HOURS later when the fever broke. When I got up intending to clean my room I had to lie back down. Too dizzy. I believe it THOROUGHLY sucked.

The good news was that when I felt better, I REALLY felt better. I was able to sit at my computer for HOURS without a backache.....today too. After I went to all my classes, applied for a job everywhere I saw a sign, and did a bunch of my chem homework. BOOYAH!!! I'M BACK WITH A VENGENCE!!! I'm going to beat this school thing. It's a shame I had to call in reinforcements (read: Doctor) to get past the back thing, but it sure is better than suffering. Much better. If you have a backache that won't quit PLEASE go get it looked at. I thought my car accident did nothing to me but three months later I can't function....two doctor's visits later I'm functional (not perfect but getting way better!) again. It's worth it.

Hmmm.....what else can I say? Oh...the band trip. Yep, another one. University of Hartford this time...and Hofstra won!!!! The only thing that could have made that trip better was if we got to PLAY SOME MUSIC!!!! We got dicked over again....except the person playing over us was the D.J.....using the AWESOME sound system Hartford has. I enjoyed myself simply because I was too blasted out of my head by the music to not enjoy myself. Then we threw Smarties at them. I had fun, and I think everyone else did too. John even got to be rude to some Hartford chick because she was rude first. Very cool... ;)

Okay, that's it I think. Brian is coming to visit in two weeks, I'm feeling alive again, and life is good. Woo-hoo!!!!!!!
