The past two weeks have not been the worst two weeks of my life. Far from it. The past two weekends have been pretty bad, but not the worst two weekends of my life. For the past two weeks I've been antisocial and broke and for the past two weekends I've had some sort of physical ailment. One Weekend I had tonsillitis and this past weekend I had a horrible toothache. I've had this toothache for months now but I've been able to control the pain. This past weekend that pain came back with a vengeance. As terrible as tonsillitis was, I'd much rather have that than have a toothache. Why? Because at least I could sleep through the pain of swollen lymph nodes and hunger from barely being able to swallow oatmeal and nothing else. Every time I attempted to go to sleep with my toothache the pain got worse because I wasn't completely vertical. So, I ended up missing class on Monday because I was in terrible pain and I was sleep deprived. I would visit the dentist but financial times are a little hard right now, so mouthwash, garlic, and ibuprofen will have to do until I can see a medical professional. But I'm building up a tolerance to ibuprofen, so I'm not sure how much longer it will work for me. I'll have to slow down on the pill popping.

Not having a roommate has been quite interesting. I think I'm actually a little more antisocial now because of it, but I'm also tired of seeing the same people everyday (the downside of attending a small school in a small town: you see the same people no matter where you go). I'm in a bit of a slump. I wore myself out last semester. This semester has the potential to be so good but I'm a little slow getting into it. I guess it's something that most, if not all college students go through. School is stressful but we, the students, can make ourselves even more stressed by worrying and overdoing. I'll pick myself up over the next couple of days. I remember getting into a funk like this my freshman year. It may just be me, but I think I'm experiencing something that is common among many students. I guess the goal is to try to make it out alive.
