a liiiiiittle scared...

Yeah, I'm kinda scared. For my health. What I thought was just a canker sore on my tongue is turning out to be an infection on the whole right side of my face. I'm not oozing pus or anything (ew.) but I can feel pain in my jaw, ear and near my sinuses. Only on the rigt side, though. I found a free clinic and I'm going to try and go tomorrow. I have class from 9:30 to 12:15. The clinics go from 8-11 or 1-4.
Everybody knows that the wonderful thing about public health clinics is that a lot of waiting is involved. I wouldn't have time to do it in the morning. Or would I? Maybe if I got there like an hour early...How many people are going to go be waiting in line at a free clinic at 7 in the morning? Probably a lot, since it's for all of SB and Goleta. That would mean I'd have to leave the house at 6:45 though. That would suck.

Basically, both of these time frames are almost the same as my actual school schedule. Maybe I'll just have to go there right after class tomorrow. Maybe I should just get up early in the morning and go anyway. And if that doesn't work out I'll go again after class.

That's really what I should do. Increase my chances of seeing a doctor as soon as possible. Getting some antibiotics. Making sure my face doesn't rot away...

I have become so resentful of college students that think they're "on their own" but still get most, if not all of their financial responsibilities covered by their parents. They're still young enough to be on their parents insurance (And their parents actually have insurance). The parents open up that locked savings account that was made just for your college fund when you were born and hasn't been touched since. You get a brand new shiny laptop so you don't have to use those awful computer labs. If your car breaks down on the highway or you need a jump start, you just call up AAA because your parents bought you a membership for your safety. You know, totally normal stuff, right? You're on your own now. Psh. Believe me, you can't even fathom what being on your own is truly like. Even though like 99% of college students live like this I still think it's total bullshit. Fuck you guys. Try living in the real adult world for a change.

I feel like the hispanic guy in Half Baked when he quits his job.
*pointing at individual people* Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you. I'm out"

peace.
