I think I have a concussion...I still have a headache, and my friend in my German class, Ellen, said my eyes looked funny, and when I told her about hitting my head, she sort of checked my pupils and asked me to follow her finger with my eyes as she moved it back and forth in front of my face. She was a little worried- my eyes were moving

Not to alarm you, but it sounds like you need to go to the emergency room and have that checked. Not to scare you, but if you do have a concussion you really need to have it seen about. It's always better to be cautious. I hope you start feeling better, and that everything is alright. I'll be praying for you! <3

ps. Don't worry about those pesky tests, take care of yourself. You can probably take makeups.

Thanks, but I NEVER take makeups! And I don't intend to miss class or anything- I only miss class if I literally cannot get up and get there. Apparently, I can move my eyes a bit now, and the headache's pretty much gone, although I'm feeling pressure above my eye where I hit my head. My eyes are reacting to light more normally now, though, and as long as I don't do much, I don't feel too weak. I appreciate your concern, especially as I haven't been on LJ much lately, and I haven't commented much on your journal. Sorry! My theory for this is maybe that, worst case scenario, the impact caused swelling which is pressing on the optic nerve and paralyzing my eyes. But tomorrow morning, I'm going to either get a same-day appointment or go to urgent care at the student health center. Don't worry too much about me. :)
