Sick Again?

So I've been sick for the past few days, and it doesn't seem to be letting up. I'm getting chills again, so I decided to purchase some Tylenol (SEVERE Cold, haha) when I went out on a Walgreens run. I actually haven't been doing anything productive for quite a while, but I do have a lot of stuff to write about.

A couple of floormates and I had an all-nighter Thursday night/Friday morning. Our bathroom conversation about majors and future aspirations in the professional world (John, Esther, me) was interrupted by sounds of the riot outside, which then became a hallway camp-out and continuation of the bathroom topics AND MORE. (We also added Yoko and Yosef to the group.) Apparently I'm the reincarnation of Descartes. >> Anyway, I started becoming terribly incoherent. ("It's like when you're stuck in a sunken ship... Wait what? Sunken ship?") Actually, I've been quite incoherent ever since I became sick around the middle of this week...

So about this sickness... It has made me quite lethargic. I slept about 10+ hours last night (a bit after midnight to 10:50 am), yet I also took a ~4 hour nap from 2 to 6. How ridiculous! I don't even know what I have at the moment.. Symptoms include stuffy nose (actually, it's only one side; it hasn't ever switched to the other side o.O), sore eyes, achiness, chills, wet-ish (not yet productive) cough, a pink nose and lots of tissues in the trash. Lame. At least my sore throat is pretty much gone.

What have I done today? I ate leftover bibimbap for lunch, but it was only a small portion so I was still ready to eat. Then the Nap came. Then Yoko, Esther, and I went to Walgreens and Sufficient Grounds. Yay for rosemary garlic chicken on foccacia with a side of potato salad. I only ate one half of the sandwich, but it was quite "sufficient." (Oh ho ho I'm so funny.)

Oh, but I forgot to discuss the crazy dream I had last night. It was actually quite realistic, in a bizarre way... The dream had multiple different parts - subplots, you could say. At one point I was tricking a vending machine in giving me extra packs of pokemon cards, only to discover that the cashier made me pay for them all, making my total grocery amount around $60 or maybe even more. There were other parts as well, but the part that stood out involved a worm crawling under my skin. A long, 1 foot+ worm. Ah yes, how marvelous. I saw it's tail end just above my wrist and its head above my elbow. It tickled and felt slightly nauseating as it traveled upwards. I wanted to get it out, but I wondered how. Should I grab a knife and cut my skin? But what if it has little babies and they all gush out into my body... As I was investigating the vermin, I saw the head part start to bulge, and as it grew, my skin in that area became more transparent. Finally, I saw its head emerge. The head was slightly more bulbous than the rest of the body, so I quickly took hold and gently pulled it out. It wasn't until I finished that I realized there were more. I tried grabbing this one in the same fashion, but it was slippery and not bulbous at all (looked more like the tail-end) and it began to retract back into my body. At one point I had to try to squeeze it out from the lower part of my arm back through the hole above my elbow. By the end of this ordeal, I had removed a total of 3 long worms from my arm. I looked at my arm and investigated the hole that the first worm had eaten to get some "air." It didn't look ridiculous to me, even though it was a dream. I touched it out of curiosity, and the pain that ensued was also quite realistic.

Why in the world did I dream of this?

Oh yea, I also retook the Myer-Briggs personality test through the MyType application on fb, and I am INFP. An idealist. Hm... I wonder how accurate it really is. It seems pretty good, though.

EDIT @ 11:55 pm
I forgot to write about this, but I have now determined that once I have my own place, I want to get some chalkboard paint, paint a wall, and be able to doodle in chalk as much as I want. :D Actually, I only want to do that because I think it'd be fun and I haven't ever been able to write w/ fancy chalk...

Or I could get whiteboard paint, paint a wall, and get eco-friendly/refillable AusPens [x, x]. :]

Gracepoint

I'm unsure. It's all so uncertain. Something assumed to last actually may not. We're of different lives.

I went to service for the first time in a long time this morning. Having heard that 10:00-11:30 was prayer meeting stuff (pre-service), I arrived in time for 11:30-1:00 service. When I got there, I saw a sign that said "Prayer + Worship Service." I then wondered if the entire service would simply be prayer, but my friend assured me that "Service" implied that there'd be an overarching message that I could listen to, so in we went.

Actually, I just learned that the order is flipped: first is Bible study, and second is prayer + worship. Ah... I really don't fit in here. It's really more focused for devout Christians more than anything else.

Chinese New Year

I just came back from a special dinner at the senior Koinonia girls' apartment. To be honest, I didn't feel like doing anything tonight, and when Jane text-invited me to come over, I wasn't sure how to decline. I just felt so tired and I wanted to sleep the day away. However, I had nothing better to do, and two of my other friends also decided to go, so why not.

I'm so glad I went! It was actually much better of a celebration than I've had in recent years. We made our own dumplings while some of the other senior girls cooked. We had dumplings, pot stickers, Chinese pancake things, radish cake, a sticky dessert thing, and almond jello pudding w/ fruit. They had super Asian drinks like aloe as well as passion fruit w/ green tea. o_o Then we finished up the night by playing Imaginiff. Ahh.. so much fun. I'm pretty satisfied.

LOL. Satisfied? Wow, I sound so selfish/egotistical/self-serving. I guess I always try to avoid those situations w/ Koinonia people lately because I just feel like I don't fit in with them, but tonight wasn't bad. I had thought it would be awkward, but it just felt like a bunch of people just getting together and having fun.
