As I sit here, restricted to the living room and the couch (Chris' orders) I find myself slightly bored. The reason why I have to follow his orders is because I fainted at work Saturday morning. I went to go see something that my manager wanted to show me and I got tunnel vision. Next thing I know I woke up, killer headache, confused and scared to all hell. I passed out for a minute hit the front of my face and I had a swollen upper lip and then fell back and hit my head which gave me a golf ball sized lump on the right side of the back of my head. Paramedics came, I didn't go to the hospital. I was embarrassed I work at a cafe and it was during breakfast so it was busy and here I am sobbing. My parents came to get me and then I just took it easy but was being watched carefully. Sunday morning woke up, bad neck pain, headache, dizziness, and nausea. So my mom took me to the er. I had ct scans and xrays and thankfully everything came back positive. But my neck muscles are so tense and it hurts to keep my head up so I have a soft neck brace and was prescribed Valium for muscle relaxer. Then Motrin for pain. I've been so lucky though. My parents have been there and taking care of me. My mom sat with me for 4 hours in the emergency room. Then Chris came here on his way home from ISU and took care of me last night and this morning. I've had friends checking on me. It feels nice to know I have people that care about me.
On a happier note, school is going pretty well. Just working hard, doing homework, and getting things done. I typically stay home one night a weekend to do homework for Monday and so I can relax on Sunday. I turned in my application for candidacy to student teach so I am waiting to hear if they want to interview me and then when they receive my basic skills exam score we will see if I get in. This summer instead of Barcelona I might be going to Bilbao in Spain. UIC isn't offering the program and its touristy so they want students to steer away from Barcelona. But I really want to go this summer. So we will see, keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm really looking forward to these next couple of weekends. With Valentine's Day and going out to dinner and just having a really relaxing, mellow night with Chris is going to be wonderful. Then the weekend after going to Dekalb, and just getting way for a day. Then my basic skills exam and sort of getting that out of the way will be really refreshing.
