Migraine.

Despite it being April 2nd, my body decided to pull an April Fools' joke on me.

I woke up, and I had a little irritation behind my left eye.  Nothing big.

I have breakfast, and after I finish, the irritation got worse.  I go inside.  I take two Excedrin.  Nothing happens.  I wait for a bit.  Nothing happens.

I go to the Union Store to buy super-overpriced Sudafed.  I pop a pill.  Nothing happens.  It gets worse.  There's a little finger in my skull poking my eye from behind.

Oh fuck I have to take a test for German.

I call Mom.  Mom tells me that eye pain is nothing to fool around with and advises me to go to the doctor.  I write a sloppy note for Frau Angelika.  I beg her to excuse me.  She demands a doctor's slip with date, time and phone number.  I go to the Student Health Center.

I wait for my appointment.  Around 10:10 AM, the pain magically disappears.  Wonderful.

I go see the doctor anyways.  She tells me it was probably a migraine due to a mix of congestion, humidity, sinus pressure and stress and (thankfully, I guess) nothing serious.

I get a copy of my record, and I'm praying she will accept it.

Now I'm in Hodges, working on the Opera story.  At least I can get that done.
