Feeling Better

Well I took my antibiotics for a week and am better. The sore throat was gone in a couple days, and while I still cough a bit, I'm certainly mostly better. I don't know if the doctor's visit made any difference, or if I would have been fine in a few days anyway, but it doesn't hurt to go, even if I do hate going to the doctor.

In other news, I bought a new LCD Monitor. I like it a lot, and got a good deal on the price. So two days after I got it, the cats ran into it and there's a scratch on the screen now. Figures. It isn't the end of the world, but I'm not too happy to have it marred so quickly. It looks like a smudge on the screen that won't go away.

I've got one more assignment for my Sociology class, then it is just finals, and I'm done for the quarter. Time certainly goes by fast. Especially when you are doing quarters at school, they not only seem fast, but they are. I already took the final for my Oracle PL/SQL class (it was open early) and did reasonably well on it. I'll get an A in the class in any case. Sociology is the only one that is at risk of ruining my 4.0 average. I completely misunderstood one of the assignments and it dragged down my grade significantly. As long as I do ok on the last assignment and Final I'll be fine, but I have to get an A on the final to be sure. Of course, it isn't like it is the end of the world to not get an A in the class, but I'd like to keep it all As for as long as possible. :)

Bed time.

Not feeling well

I've had a sore throat for a week, so I actually broke down and went to a doctor. He gave me a couple things, and one of them says:

Possible Side Effects: SIDE EFFECTS that may occur while taking this medicine include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bad taste in mouth, indigestion, stomach pain or discomfort, or headache. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you experience emotional or mood changes, confusion, hallucinations, depression, nightmares, or trouble sleeping. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

The captial letters are from what was written, the bold/italic is my own emphasis.

You scored 31 Mass, 20 Electronegativity, 30 Metal, and 60 Radioactivity!
That's odd, our tests indicate that you did not just take this test. In fact, we're not even sure you exist. Oh, wait, no, somebody just found indirect evidence of you in the deep Earth and in the Sun. Okay, so you're real, but man, you need to get out more. Actually, you're pretty cool, always doing your own thing, but we kinda wish that you would interact with us a bit more. On a positive note, I think some research lab in Berkeley has managed to put you into a psuedo-stable relationship that, if you're kept very cold, you won't walk away from... or maybe that was Xenon. I forget.



My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 24% on Mass
You scored higher than 17% on Electroneg
You scored higher than 13% on Metal
You scored higher than 87% on Radioactivity
