Dear Diary,

Today is Wednesday, January 16, 2008.

Wow, what a day! I woke up this morning feeling a little dizzy, almost as if I was drunk. In the shower, when I leaned to the side to grab the shampoo or conditioner, I almost fell over and almost saw stars. I came downstairs, wobbling side to side on the way down, and sat down at the kitchen counter. My mom had made me a breakfast omelet, which at the moment sounded disgusting and terrible because my stomach felt awful. I explained my symptoms to my mom, and she said I was dehydrated, and I needed to drink some water. So, she poured me a glass of water and watched as I started to hydrate and eat my omelet. Halfway through, I felt as if I could throw up. I was on my way out the door to orchestra when the stomach pain increased, so I ran to the toilet as fast as I could. I waited for about a half an hour but nothing came out my mouth. I did go to the bathroom, but nothing of substance came out. So, I decided to go upstairs to lay down. But as soon as I moved, I felt even more sick. I went upstairs to my room, and I knew I was about to puke, so I ran to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet, the bowl spinning in my head.

After the remains of my breakfast had poured out into the toilet, I stood up and immediately felt better as I flushed the orange and red vomit down the toilet. I still felt a little dizzy and woozy, so I grabbed my computer and watched Gilmore Girls for a few hours while my mom called the school to tell them I would not be there for at least the morning.

Come 10:00, I felt hungry so I ate a toaster pastry from the cupboard, which filled my appetite for the moment. My mom went to her personal trainer and I continued to watch Gilmore Girls. She came back at around 11:30, and we headed off to school as fast as we could so I could still participate in the construction tour with our principal.

The tour was amazing! I took pictures of the open, somewhat muddy space of the addition which, unfortunately, we can not enjoy because we will have left my junior high school by the time the addition is complete. UGH!

I went to Science with my coat and backpack on and was immediately asked questions about where I was and did I find the density of my vomit? (Duffy, a boy in my class who is a class clown, asked this question because of what we are currently studying in Science) I replied that my vomit this morning couldn't fit into a test tube!

We reviewed for our test tomorrow in Science and in Math, we reviewed for Friday's chapter test.

Spanish was fun today... I signed up for the N.S.E (National Spanish Exam), in which if you score well on a test you may win a prize! We took our -AR Preterito test and studied for tomorrow's test during class because our teacher had to leave. Anna, Caroline and I basically chatted about the Science test tomorrow the entire period.

My crush- whom again I will not name - and I are still friends, but I feel as if we have a connection; we flirt with each other in Spanish and at any interval between class when we see each other. I, shy that I am, will not make the first move in fear of rejection. So, I wait...

I have some studying and reading to do, so I will sign off. Feel free to leave comments on any of my posts anytime!
