wtf?
It turns out it was not a brain fog, it was a virus that lead to a double ear infection. I thought it was the onset of a depressive state. For those of you that don't suffer from clinical depression, now that I'm functioning normally, I can assure you, the first three days of the flu feel like depression. I was relieved to hear it was just a virus. In general, the last ten days have been insane. My dad came in for Thanksgiving, I took a final where I looked at most of the questions and literally said "what the fuck?" (I know I said it out loud, b/c the dude behind me giggled. My moot court brief is all about not ready. But none of this shit is really relevant to me, b/c my Pappaw is in the hospital. He got in a car accident monday morning. Some jackass ran him over with a Jeep Cherokee after falling asleep at the wheel. He's not in great shape right now. He's in a neck brace and is supposed to be still. That is not happening. Plus, University freaks me out, for personal reasons. Anyhoo, the first day he was admitted, my family decided not to tell me until after my exam. Then, when I found out, the next day I went up to the hospital loaded down with fresh chocolate chip cookies which is all my mom has been eating at the hospital, b/c she suspects the entire place, including the food, is covered with staph. Dbot went with me a second time that same Tuesday. She did great. Its really scary there, b/c people in other rooms are moaning and shit. Plus there is a dude in the other bed in the room that never has any visitors or flowers. (I might bring some flowers in and tell the nurse to deliver them, b/c I'm sappy). My pappaw has eight kids, and 15 grandkids, and at any given time there are at least three of us in his room to keep him company and to keep the nurses from doing stupid things. The whole thing is awful. I wish I weren't so atheist, I'd pray or something. As it is, I just try to be helpful and courteous.
