Whoa...what a sucky birthday...

I'm 23 years old today. Woohoo! I guess...except that for the nearly 6 hours I've been up already, I've managed to have a really sucky birthday. Let me start with the problem that's been bothering me for about a week.

I'm sick. Like, feeling really nasty sick. I'm the type of person that will resist going to the doctor unless there's something that's a red flag of "YOU NEED MEDICINE!!" Last night, after having a coughing fit that made me have to sit on the couch while coughing (after taking cough syrup), I decided- it's time to go to the doctor. So today, I'm going to the health center as a walk-in. And hopefully they can give me stuff (that isn't penicillin related) that will make me better.

By the way, I have to miss my favorite class to go to the doctor. On my birthday.

I have the uncanny ability to have stupid accidents. Like impaling my eye with a boombox antennae when the damn thing was right there (that happened nearly 4 years ago). This morning, while opening the large, heavy, metal door to my residence hall, I manage to hit my head with the edge of the door. So now I have a thin bruise on my forehead. At least it didn't break my glasses.

I got a paper back today. And the grade wasn't as good as I wanted. 'Nuff said. I have a paper in that same class due by 5 pm today.

Yeah...I'd say that so far, this is an awful birthday. We'll see how the rest of the day goes.

Eeeek how unfortunate! Apparently yesterday was your "Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day" instead of Alexander's. (forgive the book reference, it was one of my favorites growing up). I hope the rest of your birthday went better than the start...it's never fun when things go wrong on your special day. But hey--That's why there's knitting!!
