Back at school

Oh man, today has been a busy day. I slept in for the first time since winter break, which was wonderful. I did homework, repotted the plants, played Bejeweled 2 (HULLO I AM LAME), and made myself a wonderful dinner (fettuccine in alfredo sauce with scallops, garlic, and mushrooms). I used my new camera phone to take a photo of my dinner, but the photo was crappy and made the pasta look like brains. Other than the shitty picture, I am content.

So I think I'll volunteer for the Alachua County crisis center come May. There was a training session today, but the three hour bus ride wasn't looking too hot. Better to wait until I can bum rides off Jon, or until he's here to go to the training session with me.

I have a really creepy downstairs neighbor. I think he might be a little slow, but today when I was on my balcony, he came up and asked me what I was doing. The following conversation then took place:

Him: What are you doing?
Me: Repotting my plants.
Him: Oh, like for smoking? (gestures as if smoking a blunt)
Me: What?
Him: What did you say you were doing?
Me: Repotting these plants.
Him: You're growing pot?
Me: No, not pot. Repotting. Flowers. Not pot.
Him: I have some munchies downstairs.
Me: I'M NOT GROWING POT.
Him: Is your boyfriend around?
Me: It was nice talking to you.

He's really, really creepy.

So I saw my dermatologist on Friday. My labs came back with great results, except my lipids went up and my triglycerides doubled. They were low to begin with, so the doctor isn't worried; she says they'd have to be six times higher for them to be of concern. Also, I'm not pregnant, which is no shock, seeing as I haven't had sex in a year. I just like to announce to everyone that I'm not pregnant.

As for side effects, my face and hair are reeeeeeally dry. The corners of my mouth and nostrils peel a lot, and my lips are still chapped as hell. My back is still killing me even now that I'm back home and on my own matress, so I guess I'll have to deal with that for the next five months, too. I also am produing less ear wax. Odd. My face is really irritated and red as well, and the area around my ears and my neck is breaking out badly. Yuck. I'm tired a lot, but that is probably due to the fact that I have to wake up at 6:30 five days a week and have pulled two all-nighters in the past five days.

On the plus side, I'm sweating less. Yay! My face has cleared up dramatically, but I still have breakouts on my forehead. No depression at all, and no change to my eyesight, either.

Okay, sleepy-time.
