i woke up this morning thinking that i was going to die - i overslept. i had barely enough rest the night before. my head was spinning. my stomach felt queasy, and i felt like throwing up. i considered taking half a bottle of pills. i considered skipping school but that would be too irresponsible of me. i had a huge stack of notes to collect before my tutorial class. i had a booth to set up, a few hundred flyers to print, a banner to touch up, and a friend whom i have let down. i had no breakfast, no time, and nobody except me and my sick self.--
