10/8/25

I woke up bright and early at 8 am to the awful sound of ridiculously loud hammering, because I decided to sleep at Nana's last night after work, and they were there working on the flooring this morning. Luckily I had my noise-cancelling headphones right next to me, so I slipped those on and fell right back asleep. I woke up a couple hours later, and kind of just laid around a bit. I can't remember if I did anything else that morning, I may have played some Xbox or something. But I got a shower and all that, and then I left at around 12:40 pm to go to my assessment clinical. There was one guy there when I left, and he was sitting on the porch. There were also no cars or anything there, because apparently that guy can't drive, so he had to be dropped off there. So I said hey to him and told him it was looking good inside.

Assessment was actually really boring. We got this new professor who's going to be teaching us, and she has a very monotone voice, so that's gonna be fun. I guess she's going to be a more permanent substitute for this class. But we went over abdominal assessments and measuring arm circumference. Then we had to actually do abdominal assessments on each other, and she said we didn't actually have to lift our shirts up or anything, but CJ was my partner and he did it anyway, so I kind of did it, too, but just enough to reveal a sliver of my stomach. But we inspected, listened to the four quadrants, percussed (which I don't think I was doing right), and palpated. We also had to hit them on the back to try and hear their kidneys, I also don't think I did that right. And we actually had to do the assessment to two people, so I also did it to Teigan. Also, my stethoscope was broken, the tympanic part of the diaphragm part fell off, so I had to use the monotone professor's purple sparkly stethoscope. NOOO, my masculinity instantly disappeared. Just kidding.

After that class, I went to 343 to pomp, because I only had two pomping hours. Janell was there with other tri deltas and I was surprised to find Landon and Scott there, the TKE pledges. So I was there for about an hour and 40 minutes. Owen also showed up after a while, and it was a little awkward because at one point, it was us four tekes, plus Janell. All her tri deltas left. But they didn't know she was my sister, so it was just weird. Then everyone started @ing me in the triple play group chat. We left because they were closing the basement for some reason, so we went to the TKE house. I was there for about a minute before leaving. A bunch of guys were going to Simply Swirled because if you buy from there today, part of the money goes to Tri Delta. I did not go, I went to Walmart instead to buy some food, because I know we have no food at home. Mason and Grant followed me for a bit in their truck when we left, they probably thought I was going to Simply Swirled.

But I went to Walmart and bought two Great Value macaroni boxes and a rice Hamburger Helper box. Then I went home, and as I was going home I felt like I was getting a little migraine feeling. So when I got home I took some Excedrin and laid down with an ice pack. My mom made the macaroni for me, how nice. I felt better after 15 minutes or so, so that's good. Then I ate that whole pot of macaroni because I hadn't eaten all day. That may also be why I was getting a migraine. Then I went downstairs and didn't do much. I played some deadshot.io, Club Penguin, looked over some Quizlets for my exam tomorrow, and ended up ordering the Lego Boutique Hotel because Amazon Prime Day was today and it was 30 percent off. That was a bit of an impulse buy, but I haven't had a big Lego set like that since the Daily Bugle, and that was years ago that I got that. And I think that was basically my day.

So that was the day. 4/10.
