Fun times. XD;

First of all: I got my stuff done for ceramics and WAM2. The ceramics stuff looks kind of crap compared to other students' stuff, but by the end of the whole process I really didn't care. My headaches had moved to my shoulders and neck by that point and I just could not be bothered anymore. So, I'm not expecting a great grade, although maybe I'll get some good-for-you points for getting on the wheel for, like, more than half the pieces. The audio essay, on the other hand, went well. I was still editing the morning it was due--there were things I wanted to add and couldn't because Heather was asleep, so I had to wait until the next morning to record those parts and add them in. I got good feedback: Everyone liked the essay, and the only negative comments I got were that one song I put in went on a little too long (apparently I picked up the pace during my narration at that point and the music no longer matched my pace) and I forgot to say who an "expert" whose audio I included was. They liked my writing, something that I was worried about: I thought what I wrote sounded stupid, but I guess that was me being self-critical. So that's done: All I have to do related to that is the reflection, 600 words due next Thursday, and that'll be easy.
The neck and shoulders thing... I got to get a massage at Health & Wellness thanks to some clinic they have there every so often. They cracked my neck in a couple places. Holy crap, is that a weird thing to go through. ^^; The doctor gave me muscle relaxants (Flexeril) and more Excedrin Migraine Wednesday when I saw her. I didn't take the relaxant on Wednesday night because I didn't go to bed until two and still had editing to do. I took it Thursday night. I was dead all day Friday. XD; Seriously, I missed Career Day (which I was up in the air about going to anyway, and from what I heard afterwards, there were a LOT of science people and not a lot for the more humanities-related majors) and an extra-credit opportunity for WAM2. I slept through both of them. I was also supposed to do laundry. Nope. Basically, my day was this: Get up, go to DAP, run to Health & Wellness, get massage and get neck cracked, go to Muddy for lunch, spend the rest of the afternoon in bed. I got up ONLY to get food last night (also from Muddy, no strength to go anywhere else). I took half a pill last night and I still feel pretty dead. I think that stuff is just too strong for me or something. Or maybe I'm not getting adequate amounts of sleep (nightmare woke me up earlier than I'd have liked this morning) and it's therefore kicking my ass the next day, I dunno. I still have some pain (left side of the neck between there and shoulder), but it's not too bad.
I'm basically free this weekend. I mean, I do have some things to do: I'm going to go to the darkroom at some point to print a contact sheet for my second roll of film and maybe get some prints out of it. Right now I only have one print and I need like five or six. I also have to go to the studio to work on making bottles, and I should try to pour another slip-cast mold since the first attempt went awry. But neither the ceramics nor the photography stuff are like MUST GET DONE NOW like the stuff was this past week, so I'm feeling fairly relaxed.
Think I might go on a Sheetz run. I got breakfast bagels when I went to work at the studio last Sunday, and I forgot how much I absolutely LOVE their breakfast bagels. I'm actually not in the mood to go sit in Baker right now and wait for an omelet. The walk might wake me up a bit. Maybe today will be Laundry and Rest Off the Flexeril Day and tomorrow I'll get to work.
