WOW look at this article there was over 1 million people: (just click on link)

what my trip was like in washington d.c. for the first time...lots to tell.
It all started on sunday about 2am (or consider late saturday night) getting on a chartered bus. the trip was about a 5 and half hour drive with rest stops. But we made it there. steph nor i got a lot of sleep because first we was excited but finally grew tired then second we had girls behind us who chated the whole way and sleeping couldn't happen because of them. We arrived and in a bad mood ecause of lack of sleep and the girl didn't shut up even as we arrived there blah blah blah. finally we got out of the bus and we, steph and i, wanted to punch there lights out but we didn't. as we started walk to the ground between capitol and washington monument we started to get excited about what is going to happen in a short time and what history we are making at the time. i was with some good friend, kim, ursula and my bus buddy steph. as we sat then laid on the ground we heard hilary clinton and many other speakers....more to tell later

I have not written in a week. Here is what has happened in kind of chronological order:
It all started 8th of April with a migraine headache (which feels like a hammer is pounding on my head). That Monday I felt so-so but my throat was hurting but thought it was nothing to worry about. The headache ended on roughly Tuesday morning because it was slowly becoming sporadic and goes in and out of pounding. I went to class Monday and Tuesday but was coughing (like a mucus kind of cough) and I was exhausted. Classes on Tuesday were ok but theater I was going down standing was exhausting, I was getting dizzy, and I had to take paused every so often.

Wednesday was coming to the climax to the worse day which was Thursday. But Wednesday my throat hurt even more so I took some aspergum (it is gum that soothes your throat). My throat felt as if someone scratched it raw with their fingernails so bad that is was bleeding (it was not bleeding only red). I received a headache that day not just a headache but a painful one, no matter where I moved or shut out light or sound it hurt like a ton of bricks just kept dropping on my head. All this time I was going to classes and Wednesday I go from 10 in the morning to 5 at night. I got through career planning classes with some trouble but not much, sociology was ok, but theater…man oh man…theater. I walk down in the basement where I work for the class and it was hot steaming HOT. I felt worst that day after walking up the Jeff hill and stopping every 6 to 9 step to breathe and coughing my lungs. I had a friend Kim who stayed with me who forced me to stop and tried to help me out. I also sounded like a frog or some people on the phone thought I was crying. I went to theater class saying to myself to tell the graduate students who gives me work that I couldn’t do anything standing, luckily she gave me something that I could just sit and stitch it was a tester jacket so it was not heavy material and easy stitches.

Thursday I went and headed up to sociology but it took me longer because I had to stop every couple of steps to breathe. Sociology was ok because he was getting sick so he let us out 20 minutes early after going through review notes for the test. I though I would try to go to theater, but sitting in sociology I felt weak and not able to function well so I decided to go to the building and tell the teacher I could not work that day because I was not feeling well. So I wrote on the sign in sheet “sick went home.” Instead of going home I went to the health center and arrived at 1255 and got a strep test and was seen by a doctor who said is was most likely a virus. I left around 155 thinking if I should go to my appointment I had at the hill center (a counseling place). It was on the way home to Jeff so I decided to stop in. She was very nice but I told her with my voice I was struggling to talk with that I would rather curl up in my bed and rest then talk and waste the rest of my energy. I cancelled the appointment but made all three for the next three Thursday’s. I think this was the worse day because I just wanted to sleep and stay in my room all day but I had to go to classes and do homework.


Friday I didn’t want to leave my room but I was forced to because I had a Sociology test which I had to take. After I decided that I was not going to theater but was going to stop by so I could tell the teacher I was sick and was going home. I stop by at the health center to get my results from the strep test. I was negative which means I didn’t have it. I arrived home and went to bed it took me an hour to get to bed but I slept for a good two hours. I felt good getting up but immediately wanted to go back to bed which I didn’t. I don’t remember what I did but it was something not to stressful or physical.

Saturday my voice was messed up but felt better than I sounded at the time. It was soooooo HOT that day I was sweating out every crevasse and creases of my body. Shaun (friend of Kim and me) and Ben (friend of Shaun, beginning of a new friend to us {I meet him couple of times}) we all decided to go to Walmart and he was nice enough to drive and be patient with me going slow.

Sunday- I relaxed and it was getting hotter by the minute. I first was relaxing in the morning, ate some food and did a small paper. I felt better and was sounding better. Also they closed down court street (which is our main street or called uptown) to hold the farmers market which was alright but nothing to buy. We (Kim, Shaun, and I) decided to get some food at the world’s best bagel which was good food. I don’t have any shorts so I was really hot so we all went to walmart Shaun split off to do his thing but for me I look at shorts, capri’s and t-shirts. In an hour I only got one pair of shorts and some sports bras. We left there and Shaun acted up (which is funny because he spasms-is out and it is funny) but anyway he drop us off at Jeff. I decided to go up and relax and take a cold shower to cool down because I was getting nauseas from the heat.

Today Monday I went to class and it felt good also I got my voice back. I went down for breakfast and things started to smell weird and taste weird. For example, the milk tasted gritty and the eggs smelled rotten to me. Steph said it was because things were coming back to me for not working for awhile. I was tired today but I got through it now I am going to do some homework and get off to bed early. I am trying not to have a reoccurrence again this quarter.

As you know I had a bad day on Thursday but it improved on Friday. I worked my butt off to find a class. I had a appointment with my advisor at 9 that lead me to walk from building to building and up and down hills to find a professor. I worked from 9 in the morning until 1145, then I rushed down the hill happy because I found a class. It is theater 135 which is a supervised lab practice in design and execution of scenery, lighting, costumes, properties, and sound. After that I ran up Jeff hill to my class and had my first work day in this new class. This class is crafty, creative, and hands on. I think I found something I like to do but not a lot of sewing which I am doing now. I rather do masks and jewerly for plays but as of right now I am satisfied with this class. Usually I am really excited at the beginning of the class and slowly I become less motivated to major in this certain area. I think I am heading in the right direction but still need some tweaking. Well I have to go and do some homework. Bye.
