Oh, I so needed that...

polychrome_penSo yeah...I've been a little absent around here lately.
At least I have an excuse, and its name is...Staphylococcus aureus, that great little bacteria that causes FOOD POISONING.
That's right. I went out for sushi with friends last Saturday night, and started to feel a little gastrointestinal discomfort around midnight (the fast onset of symptoms lead me to conclude later it was food poisoning). So I wake up around 4 am all feverish, and in the meantime my stomach problems have gotten way worse. I drug my comforter into the bathroom and laid on the tile for a little bit. It all went downhill from there. Over the course of the next 8 hours, I threw up at least 15 times...15 TIMES!
I haven't prayed to the porcelain god like that in a very long time, and haven't even thrown up since senior year after I came back down from climbing Half Dome in Yosemite. Needless to say, I was wiped out the rest of Sunday (which was bad, since I needed to spend the day doing research for my History of Ancient Rome essay! T_T) and suffered chills and other such nasties for the rest of the day. It's Thursday, and I still don't feel 100% yet. Sometimes it seems like I never will. I don't have much appetite for anything, that's for sure. And I certainly don't want to see sushi for a very long time.
Ah...nothing like being knocked flat by a little bacteria...>o< Oh joy.
In other news...I LOVE NODAME CANTABILE. I mean, come on - an anime about classical music students? And comedy and plotting like Honey and Clover...what's not to love? It's even gotten me really fired up about classical music again; one of the students played Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, and it made me dig out my brother's CD and remember why I <3 Rachmaninoff. XD And it really makes me want to play music again. Maybe I'll dig out my clarinet once finals are done or something. (Or maybe I'll take piano lessons over summer break! Heheh.) It also makes me want to go see some live Classical music. I need to check what the San Francisco Symphony is playing.
I had my Anatomy Final today, and let me tell you, I'm glad to be done with that class. But now I have to get through my O.Chem final and write my History of Rome paper in one day! >3> No easy feat! So there are a few days still until I can truly relax.

XD (My local bookstores seem to have some sort of vendetta against Holly, and it's hell finding her stuff here. e_e; And so I'm behind on Talyn, Last Girl Dancing, and Midnight Rain. Damn.) I'm sure it'll be good. :D
