today i had my 2nd major headache ive ever had. imagine that you cant turn your head, you cant chew, you cant exert any force, etc. what it feels like is a throbbing and pulsating sensation on the rear lower left corner of your head. it felt as if a major blood vessel was about to burst at any moment and one slight movement might trigger that. when i went from sitting to standing, the sudden change in blood pressure would fuck with my head and i would grab my head and make this face like i was gona die. my dad thought i was retarded.

ive been late 20-45 min to work for the past 2 months and until yesterday, i was finally warned by the important people. i have to stop pressing my snooze button and chow down my oatmeal/tuna breakfast quicker.

back to reality. sigh. when i was in college, i wanted out. now when im sitting at home doing nothing, i want to go back to school. so after all, im going back to my studies. itll be a quick 3 month class. thinking that i was going to receive my book in a couple of weeks after ordering it, i planned on going out for the last time. but just my luck, the fucking book came the next day: a 500 page text filled with terms and millions of definitions for me to memorize (cue in college memories). so much for going out, im already on the 3rd chapter.

i dont know if the english disliked americans, but it seemed like it today. my stupid ass forgot to reserve enough nights at the hostel. so at work, i called to reserve an extra night. i said "im calling from america and i wanted to add an extra night to my existing reservation on the 20th." after a minute of checking, he said, "sorry we are all booked." so i hung up and went checking online for another hostel. i checked and checked and none really suited what i wanted. instinctively, i clicked on the same hostel and checked for reservations. on the site, in bright green letters, it said they were vacant that night. i thought to myself maybe i should just call in and just ask if the 20th was open. i call back and this time being smarter, just asked if there were beds open on the 2oth. he said, "yes, that night is available, would you like to reserve it?" they are so fucking dead when we get there.
