It is literally, according to my handy dandy iPhone4, 77 degrees in Rochester, Michigan, also known as my current location. On Wednesday, it's apparently supposed to be 84. Hurray...?
It's just so hot out! I had planned to wear a light summer dress today, but considering its white, and I'm still menstruating... uhh, nope! But I wore jeans and a summery shirt, and I was still DYING. My body is not okay with this. I keep sweating and I hate it. I've already changed into a shitty tank top and my lounge shorts. I did that the second I got back into the building.
The fan is on medium, the window is wide open, and I think my building still actually has the HEAT on. What the hell, Oakland. Stop it. :(
The start this morning just set the mood for the whole day.
On my way back from my piano class at around 10am, I managed to fall flat on my face on the pavement. Outside Elliot, as you go downhill, the pavement is a big higher than the grass on the side. I usually like sticking to the far right of the walk because there have been a lot of tours going on lately, and the little Chartwells smartcar likes to drive up there to get to the Starbucks to restock. I just decided it made more sense to stay so far to the side.
Well, that was a mistake. I must have set my footing too far over, and I stumbled down the hill. My palms hit the pavement first, followed by my knees and forearms, and then, you betcha, my chin smashed against the ground. Thankfully, unlike my palms, my face did not scrape or bleed. It does however, really hurt, and I'm pretty positive that there will be a huge bruise there by tomorrow. Looking at it in the mirror now, there is a sort of red and blue tint to it already. Also, when I fell, I fell to the side of my chin, so my jaw ended up sliding to the right farther than it should. From someone who already has a popping jaw and other issues, that was not pleasant.
I think what pissed me off most about the fall was that there were at least five or six people walking around me. Not a single person sped up their pace to me, or even as they passed asked "Are you okay?". They stared and continued walking. Is that really what humanity has come to? Do we all really lack the social skills to ask someone if they're alright after witnessing them tumble down a walkway? We instead just pass without a word, and only WONDER if they are alright, or assume they will be.
It just upsets me.
I really didn't want to have an aural skills hearing today, but I did it and it's done, and I suppose I did alright. We'll just have to see. I talked to her about my Contextual Listening Project and how I thought I failed. She hasn't even looked at them yet because the other professor administered the test and hadn't given them off to her yet. This really bummed me because I've been severely worried about that all weekend. Soroka said that I just would need to do well on the take-home portion of the project, and be detailed in that. I told her I wasn't sure what else to write, besides the two paragraphs I already had, and she said that that should be more than enough. I'm still just not sure. It won't be too big a deal if I did poorly on it, I suppose. Aural Skills is easy enough to build back up in, as long as you do the MacGamut homework. Which, I have to admit, I had been slacking on...
I'm back at the dorm now, though. My day is over, as far as places to go, but not with things to do. I've already forced myself to get and eat some dinner (tomato pasta, breaded fish, some strange but delicious seafood garlic breads, and melon) and I'm hoping my stomach will handle it and cooperate tonight. I can feel cramps coming on, and I'm hating it. I hate menstruating. Especially since I'm reaching that end point where I'll go to the bathroom and check myself. Everything will be clean on the napkin, but the back of my head will say "oh, just keep it on. Better be safe." So I do. I check again later, as I think "Ugh, this is really uncomfortable, and it probably hasn't done anything since I checked, maybe I'm done", and nope. It's all flooded. Getting really sick of it. I JUST WANT MY PRIVATE PARTS TO TOUCH MY UNDERWEAR NOW WITH NO BARRIER. I WANT COMFORT.
Well then.
