Doctor doctor

I went to the Health Center today for an appointment and this is what went down:

doctor: so we got your blood work back... have you been under a lot of stress recently?
J: (...what a dumb question, isn't everyone?) ...umm I guess so
doctor: because we found an abnormal amount of cortisol in your bloodstream, try to relax more often (easier said than done, homie); in addition, you seem to be lacking several essential nutrients i.e. you're malnourished... have you been eating regularly?
J: (...define regularly) umm... I suppose... I eat a lot of cereal haha
doctor: what else do you eat besides cereal?
J: more cereal? ...hehhh
doctor: (she looks irritated) okay well... you have to eat more than just cereal; obviously
J: oh.. okay..
doctor: also, are you sleeping normally?
J: not really, but I'm a light sleeper so it's hard for me to get sleep as it is
doctor: yeah, but that's contributing to why you are like this right now, which really shouldn't be surprising to you
J: oh.. I see...

...then she tried to sell me some drugs and that was that. I think she thought I was stupid or something because she kept giving me those "wow this girl must lack common sense" looks. I did feel pretty stupid though... way to insult my intelligence, doctor. It hurts to breathe now... I'm sure that's not normal.

I haven't slept in three days, I am sedated, and yet I STILL wake up when she talks because she's just THAT loud. How annoying. This is definitely contributing to my elevated cortisol levels. 4 weeks until break and 4 months and counting.

put on lotion & shred cheese <3

Creepy men

This week has been full of encounters with creepy men. Coffee shops are dangerous places. I'll outline the week.

DAY 1: Pete's Coffee
J: Hey can I get the coffee of the day?
cashier: Yeah of course! Would you like room for cream?
J: No, no, it's alright... just black coffee
cashier: Would you like a scone? Would you like breakfast? Can I have your number?
J: No, no,-- what?
cashier: ahha... uh just kidding...

DAY 2: Starbucks Coffee
next in line to order; old man approaches
oldman: Hi is this where the line starts?
J: Oh actually I think it's back there (points to back)
oldman: Oh, I know, I just wanted to talk to you *wink
J: ...

DAY 3: Physics D/L
my TA always makes eye contact with me and he got a haircut that day
TA: *makes eye contact Did you have any questions?
J: No...
TA: Are you sure?
J: Uhh... Okay I have a question. Do you like your hair short?
TA: Um.. The better question is do YOU like my hair short?
J: ...I think I like it better long, but it's probably because I'm used to it lol...

Also, yesterday as I was rushing to Bio to take my midterm I was hungry and I ate a moldy apple. I thought I was going to puke after I looked down and realized that the bitterness wasn't just my imagination.

I made green tea cheesecake chocolate :) Want pictures? I'll think about it, but they're almost gone.

check fruits & make sweets <3
