Thursday Thursday

I knew last night that today was going to be a long day for me. I took a shower last night so I could sleep a little longer later this morning. I got up at 8:30 with a horrible stomach ache, checked my email, and went to SACI for class. As I walked into the photo studio I realized I had forgotten my camera. I quickly walked home, around all the construction that they are doing in front of SACI, to get my camera. When I got back, Jacopo looked at my camera and we determined that I did not load my film properly and it therefore did not advance. I found this out when he gave my film out of the camera and said it was already wound into the canister. He told me to process it and see if any of this film had pictures on it, it did not. I was happy, however, because my other roll of film that I processed came out and had a lot of pictures I think I can use for my project that is due in a week. After class I dropped my photo stuff off at home and went to Italian. We got back out midterms and I did horribly. I was very upset about this because I want to do well and because if I get a low grade it will lower my GPA. I am taking these classes at SACI for myself and for credit, but I do not need them to graduate. After Italian I went to graphic design where we had a guest speaker that I found interesting. Toward the end of class I started feeling sick again with stomach pain. I showed my teacher a project and then walked home. On my way home I stopped by Guiseppe's store to apologize for skipping out on him last night and found out that he wasn't there either because the police stopped him while he was taking his stuff home. I decided to go home and stay in for the rest of the night because I was still not feeling well. I came home and told Mom about my day and we decided that it would be best for me to drop the Italian class or if need be all of my classes to try to get rid of some of the stress that could be making me sick. I went to SACI to talk to the dean about this because the drop/add period is long past over. He was very understanding and said I could still go to the class but it would just be for no credit since he put me in the computer as a withdraw-passing. I came home right after that relived that my GPA won't be affected and that I do not have the worry about that class anymore. I decided to make chicken for dinner, but forgot to thaw it so I moved to my next option which was pasta. I cooked the rest of my pasta and melted a little bit of butter on it. I handled this alright and was feeling alright. As I was sitting here writing today's blog I ate 2 cookies and got very bad pains in my stomach. I think I am done with food for the rest of today. Tomorrow I go to fresco and I hope I am feeling better.
