- Drove to school and dropped my son off.
- On the drive home received a phone call that my son had puked all over the playground and needed to be picked up.
- Turned around and picked my son up from school.
- Thanked God he hadn’t puked on himself…I don’t handle puke well.

Background info is that I am in a lot of pain, went to the doctor and he says I have an ulcer. Today, I:

- Couldn’t take the pain, and cried all the way to school on the bus
- Got to school and got caught crying by my teacher
- Had to leave school, because I couldn’t stop crying
- Found out I will have to retake the whole special effects makeup course - I can’t catch up, I have to restart it, it’s a rule
- Went to my boyfriend’s house, where he tried to make me feel better but it didn’t work
- Knew I’d feel better if I threw up, but couldn’t bring myself to do it
- Passed out on his bed for a few hours while he went to fix computers and buy food
- Woke up, read the SDMB, and talked on MSN with some friends from back home
- Played Samegame (it’s a java game)
- My boyfriend came home, and I ate about half a croissant
- We went to Denny’s, and I ate bacon, eggs, grits and toast - my first meal in two days (yesterday I had a slice of bread)
- Came home to my tyrannical aunt and uncle’s house (must move out!!!)
- Petted Shina (a Shiba Inu)
- Watched some stand-up comedy
- Came here and here I am.
It was a pretty crappy day. I hope for a better one soon. Pain, pain, go away… don’t come back another day!

Woke up at 6, and then again at 10.
Alex called at 11 - ‘We’re going to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! Get up! Meet you at 12!’ ‘Uh? Huzzat?’ I said. Got up.
Met everyone. Bought a frozen coke.
Saw Sky Captain. Fucking awesome! I don’t even know how to classify it, but wow, loved it. Also, I’m trying to avoid being one of the millions of people swooning at Angelina Jolie’s feet, but my GOD she’s hot!
Went home. Auckland is sticky-hot. Had cold shower.
Went into town, met friends. Bought another frozen coke.
Saw Sideways. Liked it, but it made me sad. Didn’t contribute to the conversation for a while.
Told a friend to pay off her credit card, rather than move out of home.
Back at home, all of a sudden it’s one in the morning. Eek!
Woke up at 8.40am.
Went to class.
Went and took photos of complete strangers.
Bumped into a girl that I’m doing a presentation with. I ask her if she is avaliable for a group meeting on Wednesday. She looks suprised and tells me she has transfered out of the class. Thanks for the warning. :rolleyes:
Went home.
