The 2nd days

theyellowhobbitThe sickness of death made most of yom tov quite awful. There were times that I felt fevery, and achey, and really thought that I was going to die or something. And the entire time my throat has been in pain.
I didn't want to go to Student health unless I knew I was sick enough to go and possibly break yom tov. Of course, I had no way of knowing how sick I was, since I had no thermometer. EB had one in her room from when her roommate was sick, and it turned out I had a 100.6! That was wednesday night. So Wednesday and Thursday morning I skipped services since I couldn't get out of bed on Wednesday and woke up too late on Thursday. Either way, I was in no shape to do a happy singingy shacharit for CJC.
After the insanity that was Wednesday night, I crashed at Mikey's. I didn't want to stay in 308, because I had just taken a nap [which made me feel worse] and wasn't going to sleep right away, and didn't want to hang around in the dark by myself because in general I need light. And it was cooler in there than it was in 308. Using Mikey's extra sheets, I slept in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
groovin_reuven's bed, since he was away in Lower Merion anyways. Don't worry, we didn't infest anything. And you were the one who probably got me sick in the first place, so you can't re-get the virus.
And Thursday marked the actual trip to student health. Before that we went to Hillel for Mikey to eat lunch and me to watch people eat lunch and drink water. I also stopped in 308 to change my shirt (cynara_linnaea, next door and entering the High rise whe I did, had a peasant top I had given her freshman year when I didn't think I'd be wearing short sleeves any more. Some of my clothes are ones I wouldn't ask back [like my halter top] but now I'm thin enough for the peasant tops. If I can ever get into the black skirt with butterflies, I will be estatic.) and Simone was there. Apparently she had been worried about me since I never came back and I wasn't at either OCP or CJC davening, and "no one" knew where I was. At least a few people kinda knew I was crashing at Mikey's, and I was fine. I would have told her had I seen her between when I decided to go there and when I actually went there, but I didn't see her. I thought we had told cynara_linnaea, AA, AB, LS, levana_b, arigi, masteraleph, and EB, but I guess not. Then again, this is the same Simone who when I went to UMD 2 weeks ago called on Sunday, saying "Rachel! You weren't at services or the tisch and I didn't see you all weekend! Are you ok?" Me:"Um.. I've been in Maryland this entire time." Her: "Oh." Yeah. Silly Simone.
And student health told me I had a virus, which the doctor herself had last week, which should go away feverwise soon, but destroyed the lining of my throat, and it will take 6 weeks for the cells to grow back completely, but I should feel better before then. And I'm no longer contagious.
My triage was at 2:45 and my appointment was at 3:45 so in between I showed Mikey the museum, and he got to meet Janet Monge!! And yes, he agrees about her awesomeness. Trivia of the day: She has a bunch of stuffed gorillas on her shelves. Most of them she has give away. They originally were put up on her door as a prank by one of her students!
On the way back from student health, we saw Ben, who was on the cell phone, but I talked to him for like a minute. He thought I was better and that passover was over, and both were wrong assumptions, since it was still passover, and I'm still sick! But I was cheerful because I was outside and now I knew what I had and that it's going away soon!
I was so happy when Yom Tov ended. I could have tea and cough drops again!
I also found out that the Jewish Studies Department gave me a Brenner Award for 1000$!! This amount may decrease depending on my other awards, but yay! 1000$!!!!
That's it. I'll write a dream post later if I have time.
