Week In Review

Last Thursday I wrote about finding a store that sells cute stationery, and how I couldn’t buy any of it because my bank card declined. Well, as Holly asked, I did indeed go back to that store last Friday, and there was success in purchasing an adorable pencil case and pens (and a headband and some hairclips).

Cute, right?!

Pink and green pens of the skinny variety. I think they need to be to fit into the skinny pencil cases.

These pens are probably the finest I’ve ever used, which is handy for writing teeny-tiny notes on my lecture powerpoint copies.

Anyway, the rest of my week went like this:
Saturday — Hung out with some of my family, including niece and nephews; studied; relaxed and enjoyed the nice weather.

Sunday — All my siblings and 3/5 of my nieces and nephews came over for lunch. Haven’t done that in awhile, so it was really nice; the still-gorgeous weather made everyone lazy (the good kind). Only downfall was that I definitely started noticing I was getting sick with a sore throat, runny nose and cough.

Monday — Nothing much worth noting, except that I almost forgot about my English tutorial and was about 5 minutes late. Opps!

Tuesday — I didn’t have class until 1pm, but I arrived slightly late because my bus was having issues and we needed to change at the depo. I had to sit on the floor of my psychology class. There are two streams for psych: 1-2pm and 5-6pm; many of the 5-6 people try to sit in on the 1-2 lecture which leaves those of us who have a right to be there, without a seat. Needless to say, it’s very annoying. Upside of Tuesday was watching an adorable guy drawing all the way into the city.

Wednesday — I was feeling like hell by this point; coughing, nose and eyes running, headache, sore throat, etc. As a result, my first class was pretty unpleasant to sit through, but as the day went on I started to feel a little bit better, or to just cope better, I guess.

Thursday — No classes so I stayed at home. In the evening there was an emergency with my 3.5-year-old nephew. He started having a seizure after feeling sick most of the day. My mum and I rushed to my sister’s house to look after my 11-month-old niece so my sister and her husband could go to the hospital with my nephew. The ambulance was there when we arrived and the driver was able to tell us that the seizure was caused by a very high fever that came on very suddenly.

They came home around midnight after getting tests done, etc., and my nephew was mostly his usual self. We still don’t know exactly what’s causing the fevers, but with so many viruses and such floating around at the moment it could be anything, I guess. I’m just relieved he’s ok, though he is still having fevers, but my sister is able to ensure they don’t get too high.

Friday — Today has been alright. I’m just feeling absolutely shattered from this cold, which started to become quite chesty yesterday, so I’m going to the doctor tomorrow. I only had sociology, and my first sociology tutorial, which went well. I think out of all my subjects, sociology is the one I’m having the hardest time grasping properly. It’s incredibly interesting but it’s a bit like having bullets of information fired at you from an automatic weapon that never actually runs out!
