...But now I'm too distracted and terrified to do so. Last thursday, a girl on my floor said she was sick and might v* at any second. I've been washing my hands like a madwoman since, but yesterday morning I had a nasty bout of diarrhea, and right now I feel kind of nauseated. I took some Pepto Bismol, and that seems to be helping a little, plus I can stand eating chocolate (when can I not?).


I hadeither astomach flu or food poisoning last year, and, miserable as it was, I never vomited. I just fought off the waves of nausea until my body gave up. I'm confident I can still do that, but I guess I need a pep talk...and I've got to finish these essays, because they're due today (don't ask). Wow...my legs are shaking.


Bad idea #1: Last night I took my usual doses of Lexapro and Amoxycillin and my newly-doubled dose of Lamictal. Earlier this morning I took my usual dose of Amoxycillin and my newly-doubled dose of Wellbutrin. Then I took two ibuprofen tablets to stop a headache, followed by a caffeine pill to counteract my lack of sleep. Surely there's an interaction somewhere.


Bad idea #2: I followed all this with extra-salty, extra-greasy tater tots and whole milk.


Bad idea #3: I procrastinated on these essays, and my nervousness over this is only adding to my nausea.
