Freaking August
I am so glad August is almost done. In all of my life I have always hated this month, and this year was no exception. Let's see what sort of fun things I was involved in this month!
- Camping with group A!
No, wait, that would have been me home sleeping having asthma attacks, my bad!
- Camping with group B!
Actually, I think that was the weekend I slept for 12 straight hours...
- L5R at Fandom since I was actually out of class!
Once again, no, that would have been me not caring about cards in the slightest, unable to make a deck. I contemplated selling off all my cards.
- Angela's Wedding in Cornwall!
An ill placed exam and very poor health saw this cancelled. Almost went to Emergency though, does that count as a trip?
- Relaxing trip to Peterborough!
Funny, it's actually Andrew that did that. I had no weekend where I would have been able to go down and enjoy myself
- Nights summer nights spent with friends!
Yeah, right. I mananged to make it out twice all month. I counted. Only person I saw with any frequency was Gilles I think. Went out with Meg a couple times.
I'm built a little backwards compared to most people. In Canada, apparently people go thru a bit of a downtime in the winter, due to the crappy weather and lack of sunlight. Like I said, I'm backwards, and I hate the summer. August just makes it worse since it's the hottest month with the worst air quality. This summer was a doozy.
While I am feeling better now, I was feeling very very down and very anti social for a while. I really hate feeling like that, but I've come to accept it. By the end of August (such as now) I start to feel better, and start to regain the interests that I spurred (I'm trying to make an L5R deck with limited success, and I've attended two whole roleplaying nights... one of which almost killed me). As for people, that will come eventually. I'm still not all that big in social interaction and people are doing their own thing. Maybe I'll try and do something before I start school again, but it's unlikely.
Health was also pretty bad. I'm on alot of drugs, but this month alone I had 4 herpetic outbreaks (one of which actually hit my eye), terrible asthma attacks, and no less than 2 infections that required anti biotics (which I will be on for the next 2 months), and one bitch ass cold or flu or something that Meg still has to die for. My lungs are still recovering from that one.
I do feel better now though, I honesty do. I'm starting class again in like a week and a half which gives me something to look forward too (even though my Doctor is still only letting me on partial schedual.. especially after this month..), the weather is getting cooler, and I'm just generally feeling better. I'm glad I'm feeling better, since I just re-read a private entry I wrote to myself and man, was I in a bad place. Actually had money pulled out of the bank, a bag of clothes (and meds!) packed, and the intention of leaving down. I really dunno where I thought I was going, but I wasn't coming back. Obviously I rethought my situation and figured it wouldn't be the best thing.
Have interesting classes coming, going to look for a White Wolf gaming group on Campus, building a deck towards a charity tournment in October, and the fall is coming. I have enough things right now to keep my mind occupied and not all sad and stuff! I'll be fine.
