This is probably going to turn into a stream of random thoughts, but oh well. Mountain Dew does that to me.
Ok, is it just me, or is the movie Mean Girls extremely overplayed? Seriously, every other day, it's on TV and I'm ever so slightly tired of it. I mean, I was surprised when I first saw it, because I thought it was gonna suck, but it turned out to not be so bad. But now, I'm ready to murder whoever keeps playing it.
So, it turns out, that medication I was gonna be put on that I mentioned in my last post, I'm actually allergic to. And had a bad reaction to it. The nurse left, and I was at home alone, scared that I was gonna die, with my cell ready to call 911. It was not a good time at all.
Well, looks like I only had 2 random thoughts tonight. That's all for now, I s'pose.

New medication for the new school year
So, my doctors have started me on a new medication called "Cimzia". It has it's ups and downs. A plus is that I don't have to take it everyday. I only have to take it every 2 weeks, and in 4 weeks, I only have to take it monthly.
The downside is it's an injection. That I have to give myself. And I can either inject it into my stomach or my leg. And it freaks me out. And I don't like it. I'm fine with having a nurse or whoever doing it, but having to do it myself is just freaky.
The nurse who was teaching me how to do it was weird. I couldn't really understand her because she had this really thick accent, so I had to have her repeat herself a bunch of times, and she wasn't the most organized person in the world. She had to call me after she left and warn me of the side effects of the Cimzia, and all I could think was, "Isn't that something you should have told me BEFORE I gave myself the injections..?"
Oh well. So far I haven't had a reaction, so I'm guessing that's a good thing. I just really hate injecting myself with stuff...
As for the new school year and such, I switched out of my ASL class and into a 7 week English 102 class, starting in October. The downside to that is that it's on Saturday, 8-12:15. Not so fun. But oh well. I'll survive.
