Major Deja Vu

Approximately a year and a half ago, I developed a nasty infection in the depths of my sinuses. It lasted for about a month and the right side of my face swelled up just like in those commercials for sudafed. Guess what guys? It's happening again, only this time it's way more inconvenient.

Let's talk about how I'm graduating from college in five days and how my last assignment is a term paper that is due by midnight tonight. I've been dreading writing it all semester because the topic is difficult and to be quite frank, I'm scared shitless that I won't know how to write it. Yesterday, I woke up with full intentions to write the damn thing in one day but I also happened to wake up to mowers outside my window and guess what else? My window was open. If you know anything about sinuses and grass allergies and middle Tennessee then you know that I also awakened in panic. Panic for my health. Immediately I got all snotty and runny. I ran to the store for Claritin OTC and some zinc. I also popped some sudafed. By the time I went to bed last night I was cranky and irritable and completely full of snot. Today, my face is swollen and I took an exam that I don't remember. When I phoned the doctor she told me not to worry, and to take some Mucinex. I told her I was and that I have a fever and that HELLO?! I need to graduate! There was no caring tone of voice, only instructions about guafinesen. Well, in case she's interested. I invented guafinesen. Well maybe not, but half the school thinks so cuz I'm always shelling it out to sick people and saying 'drink lots of water.' I know how to take care of myself, is she stupid? I've had these sinuses a while now. I know when we're in trouble.

PS. WE'RE IN TROUBLE!!! My whole college career relies on whether or not I write this paper. And all I want to do...is pass out.

BFF Kate, will you bring me a heating pad for my head and also a lunchable?
