Mondays are seldom an Issue

I did say I was going to write about Baños today, but Monday proved to be a day on it's own.

With my group being slackers, I got up early to work on the project. I kept thinking I would get an email from one of them. When I got to class (I was not greeted politely, it was an inquiry to MY progress), the one I was waiting on said someone stole her computer in the library, and I was stunned because campus is really safe. After she went on, I cut her off and clarified if she did or did not mean her lappy. She did not, she meant a library comp. I got over that one fast. She said she would email me her part BY 4.
Well, I don't know when exactly I got her email because I got sick again today. I stopped at MegaMaxi for shampoo and conditioner. I got some crackers, an orange, and a chocolate bar. I got home, Camila was already at the table (3:10pm). I started my soup, and put some popcorn in it. I finished it, and Xime brought my food. I was excited because it kind of looked and smelled like a version of Mexican food. It was shredded chicken with little chilis and tomatoes in it, but wrapped in something leafy. I thought that was a good idea. It was accompanied with white rice. I ate about 1/3 of it when I started feeling off. I grabbed an apple out of the fruit basket and peeled half of it with my butter knife. It tasted great, but I did not enjoy it. I laid my head on the table, and Xime brought out dessert-vanilla ice cream, with mora swirls and chocolate sauce. Uh-huh. I had 3 bites of it and was finished. I put my things in the kitchen, and felt bad. I thought, like last time, if I laid down I would be okay. I sat in my room for about 10 minutes and then went to the bathroom pulled my hair back, and got into a fetal position on the floor. I laid there for about 30 minutes. My stomach calmed and I thought I was alright to get up. When I sat up, I got dizzy, and then expelled my lunch.
I felt better because it was out, but my stomach still was upset. I opened my bottle of lime flavored fizz water, and drank some of it. It helped a lot. I managed to barely talk to Laura for a few. I ate a few saltines thinking it had been long enough, but no. I let Laura go, and laid on the bed trying to sleep. I tried to make myself comfortable, but it took about and hour to actually fall asleep, which is unusal. I slept til Margarita got home about 8:30p. I had bread and hot tea by myself because she went downstairs to her sisters, and Camila stayed in the back room and watched tv.
I feel a lot better now, thankfully, however, the night is not over.
I tried to work on the project again, but the internet went down, and off. I read the part that had been emailed to me at some point, and rather than being both topics, she decided to do just one. That leaves the second half of everything unfinished. I didn't have internet to work on it, and it's due today. I think the teacher will be nice..or hope she will be.
Bedtime, why not? I pulled my door shut, and walked to my bathroom. I ran into a step machine, and made a noise. No one stirred, so I was glad for that. I should have turned on a light, but didn't. Lesson learned? ya right.
I went up the 6 steps to make my way down the hall to the kitchen. I sat my mug in there and washed my little container--with the lights on. I smartly had turned my lamp on and left my door cracked to get back to my room without any mishaps. Good in theory. Since my eyes were adjusted to the kitchen light, I didn't think to let them correct to the dark. I got back to those 6 steps and thought, "uh-o, walk slow so you don't fall." If only the rest of me listened to that helpful bit inside. I thought I had a few more steps because the stairs didn't start until after the window, SLIP-I was wrong. Whatever went down, I managed to be quiet about it. I fell on my left butt cheek and the right arch of my foot was rammed by the corner of a step. I made sure my door made a noise when I shut it incase someone heard me bite it. I'll be impressed if neither place bruises.
That was the decided factor that today's blog wouldn't be about Baños. I'm going to bed now. Class at 8:30-10, work on my project and hope to finish it, then work on my Spanish presentation that I still haven't finished before Spanish at 11:30-1, lunch, more homework, then class 2:30-4 (ish). Then, more homework.
Thank you for finishing this.
