Keep an eye oh the canary.

Back in the day, miners would carry a caged bird down into the tunnels with them. If they happened to hit a pocket of poison gas, the bird would be affected first. If the bird suddenly died, they knew there was a problem.

I'm noticed something lately that caught my attention. My libido has crashed. Normally, I have the...

--My name is Lesion, for I am messy.--

I have 3 parallel scratches on my left arm. Saturday night I was opening beer bottles with my forearm (a useful way to spare your thumb when the cap is wet) , and since then I have looked like a cutter.

Well, class is going better than expected. Apparently, I remember more biochem than I thought I did. Today we went over pedigree analysis. Tomorrow, we finsh up genetics, and in the afternoon, I take a diagnostic test. (Jealous?? I thought so.) The best part of my day was when I skipped lunch to take a 30 minute nap then decided to sleep through the next...

Friday night was interesting. All things considered, it was a bad idea for me to meet anyone new that night. Two weeks of anxiety and stress seemed to peak on Friday. Still, I had agreed to go, and my stubbornness and desire to escape my roommate all but forced me out the door.

At the bar, I put on my best not-pissed-off face and wandered...

I am currently in the periphery of an overcomplicated spat involving the non-existant sex lives of some of my fellow review-classmates. On the surface, it looks like your typical she-wants-him-but-he-wants-someone-else high school bullshit. (him=my roommate.) Now imagine that everyone involved is over 25, a medical student/practicing doctor, and from another country. Suddenly, the level of ridiculousness jumps exponentially. When I went out last night, everything...

Broke out in hives again last night even though I had taken benedryl before bed. I took a shower to calm down at 3 am, but still didn't get shit for sleep afterward. When I woke, I downed some ritalin got to class in the nick of time but soon felt another round coming on. At the first break I said "fuck it" and went...

The weekend was fun. There seems to be too much drama in Atlanta lately, I needed to get away from things for a while. Friday in Augusta was better than usual; however, the weekend's highlight was Saturday night in Athens. I got to spend time with a lot of friends I haven't seen in months. We drank and flirted and played geeky games. The first...

The good news is that I'm enjoying my class. It's still tough, but the lecturer is amazing. The bad news is that I'm still breaking out in hives everyday even though i'm taking my 24-hour allergy meds every morning. Stress is a bitch.

I'm getting out of town tomorrow afternoon. I must pick up and pay my bills so I can have electricity and such...

Today was significantly less than good. The benedryl last night made me groggy turning 7 hours of class into slow Hell. On top of that I've lately had things on my mind (suspicions and fears) that were realized last night and have been distracting me since. I just woke up from a nap, and I'm still tired. I have to wake up enough to study...

I should really keep up with this. OK, it's catch up time. I've been in Atlanta for a week now and will be until the end of February. I'm here taking a class. It's rough. 6-7 hours of class per day plus studying afterward. When I throw in errands and working out, I have next to no free time. This sucks.

I'm currently living in...

Tonight sucks. I don't like unresolved problems. I wish I could let go.

Today I coughed a lot and chatted a bit with geckogirl. Aside from that, I did jack shit.

I'm dangerously bored and thinking about the bottle of wine sitting in the corner.
