School is Closed

Closures of schools actually do happen here! I experienced one such closure because apparently there was a snowstorm somewhere and something something cars something something stranded in ditch something something. But the end result of this was that power was cut off in UBC at about 3 am. I would know. I was up, trying to retch my liver out in the dark with only the light from my handphone illuminating my very (w)retched state. Geddit, geddit? Hahaha. I'm so funny I sleigh myself. Geddit, geddit? Hahaha.

Anyway I had some stomach thing last night. My stomach was so bloated I couldn't get to sleep properly last night and I had some odd dreams while I was tossing and turning. In the end, I didn't sleep a wink at all, and it was lucky because I locked my window to prevent the warmth from escaping from my room which I wouldn't have done were I sleeping.

I woke up in the worst state this morning and I tried puking again but nothing happened. Laura came over and passed me some Metoclopramide which did something to my stomach which made me want to puke less and Gilbert gave me some charcoal tablets which made the diarrhoea go away. And David gave me bottled water. It's the little things like this that people do for me when I'm sick that really touch me, although I'd rather that be done in other circumstances.

I slept almost the whole day in powerless UBC, and when I woke up it was in time for dinner. Gilbert got himself scalded when he slipped and fell on the snow while carrying Laura's hot soup over. We are two sad sacks.

But the best thing about today is: There was NO SCHOOL! Which means, no test today and an extension on one paper. Still, my stomach hurts a bit, and I don't feel like going for school at all tomorrow. It's stopped snowing so that is a very great possibility. But, snow storms are predicted for Wednesday, so that's something else to look forward to as well!

If it were up to me, I wish school would be cancelled until Friday. That'd be nice.
