feels like Saturday
written on Friday, March 29, 2013 @ 3:22 PM ✈
Whenever Friday is a holiday it really screws with my brain and makes me feel like it's Saturday. Well this week was one short week, only had three lectures and one tutorial.
So yesterday I missed the train because there was a silly long ticket line which I did not anticipate. I mean really? Why is there a ticket line on a Thursday? I mean I did get there 10 minutes earlier than my train so I could get a ticket but that wasn't enough. And that day of all days the machine said "exact fare only" which I am used to, so I always bring exact fare but some stupid people in the line in front of me did not read it and just kept putting in amounts of money that needed change (eg. if the ticket cost $3.50 they'd put in $4 which I assume is all they have on them).
The thing is the machine just spits your money back out and the people don't get why and they just keep putting it in even though the machine will never accept it since it's not exact == And people in front and behind me got frustrated and swore at those people sigh. Oh well, because of that I took a train that comes after my normal one. My normal one gets there at 8:30 but this one gets there at 8:35 which I think is perfect because that way I don't spend too much time waiting around but I've always avoided that train because it was a semi-express and I expected it to be packed.
But it wasn't! There weren't that many people. Maybe I'll catch that one from now on except it doesn't stop at Shirley's stop D: Oh by the way, achievement unlocked. It took me until the fourth week but on Monday, I didn't fall asleep on the way to uni! And I wasn't with anyone so I didn't need to talk to anyone to stay awake :D And on Thursday I didn't fall asleep either, one whole week I didn't fall asleep on the way to uni (y) Though it was only a two day week haha.
I'm getting the feeling that my chem lecturer just likes to do demonstrations for no reason lol. Like yesterday he blew up a balloon filled with helium (BANG!) even though I couldn't see the relevance it had to what we were learning lol. And he also brought out this massiveeee beaker filled with, I think it was sodium hydroxide? He put in some universal indicator, it changed colour, put in some acid, changed colour again. I think he was just talking about pH but we're not even learning that... And then he put in some dry ice and basically he just kept on making it change colour while the dry ice was making it look like "smoke" was coming out of the beaker and I just thought he looked like a witch from those cartoons lol. He said "aww yeah this is what chemistry's all about" and the class just laughed at him.
Oh and mystery solved. The protesters that got arrested were in the other chem lecture room, just as I thought. In any case, after that I crashed the library to do my worksheet before NEEDLE TIME ಥ＿ಥ Unfortunately on my way there I crossed paths with mister poo poo and he followed me and waited with me in the waiting room, totally taking up a seat even though he wasn't even getting anything done and there were others waiting :/ As usual I was freaking out before the needle and he did not make matters any better.
They gave us this sheet asking if we wanted to be part of a survey/research thing into the effects of the vaccination and it makes me laugh because on it, it says "as a university student with a high risk of occupational exposure to Q fever, you have been recommended to receive the Q fever vaccine." Recommended my ass! It was more like we were practically forced into it cause they said if we didn't get it we weren't allowed to do the course orz I also found the "will the study benefit me?" question on the sheet amusing as the answer written was "we cannot and do not guarantee or promise that you will receive any benefits from the study."
Just before needle time they gave us a sheet saying this:
Why, doesn't all that sound lovely? She checked my skin test site and it's gone all grey-brownish in colour and she's like "well that's negative, and so was your blood test". Ah if only it came back positive then I wouldn't need this vaccination :( And I still don't know my blood type even though I've gotten numerous blood tests sigh.
So off into another room I go, to a different lady. Oh my god I cannot stress how nice she is. Ahhh いい人 ! (○´ω｀○）She was all smiling and gave off a comforting aura and when I went into the room she offered me a jelly baby LOL. I sat down and she started swabbing my arm with an alcohol-dampened cotton ball and asked me if I had any plans for Easter. At this point I couldn't really think properly and just said not much (which is probably true anyway T_T) and she said "oh, well that sounds nice" (she wasn't being sarcastic).
She then told me she liked the fabric of my dress (I think she meant the print) and said it was really feminine and then stuck the needle in (;ﾟдﾟ) Argh I swear this one hurt so much more than any previous vaccination :'( And it felt like the needle wasn't going in "perpendicular" to my arm, but rather, like parallel or "up" into my arm. I can't explain. And after it was in she was like "there you go, it's done now" but it was so not! Round two of pain began when she started squeezing that stuff out of the needle :( I could fully feel it and ugh I think that hurts more than the needle itself.
When she took it out I think I must have been wincing because she was like "are you okay?" And to reassure her I just told her I'm bad with needles and she's like "no, you were quite good!" I don't know about that lol. She then offered me another jelly baby but I felt bad and I was like nah you better save some for your other patients xD Anyway, it's clear that she's just trying to distract you during the whole process and some stupid people laugh about how "lame" or whatever that is (looking at you mister poo poo) but she seriously made me feel so much better, because even though you know what she's trying to do, the fact that she put in that effort to comfort people really makes me happy and made me feel a lot better. Plus she really has a kind and genuine aura. Ah if I ever need to go there again I hope she's the one tending to me ^^
And we were supposed to hand in a copy of our "vaccination certificate" to the faculty office to prove that we got it except I have no idea where it is and after the needle I just went to my tutorial and went home... Hopefully I can give it in after mid sem break because if they start checking who's given it in already then they won't find mine and I might get into some sort of trouble? :/
When I took off my bandaid last night I couldn't see the dot from where the needle went in but I can see it this morning o_o The area around it has also kind of gone pink and it feels "raised" and I couldn't even sleep on my right side cause my arm felt sore ==
