Today was kind of eventful, compared to most of my days. I started out by getting up and getting ready for my mental health clinical, which was at Gibson Center today. I also drank a coffee and then took some ibuprofen and a muscle relaxant because my back was still hurting some today, but was not anywhere near what it was yesterday.
So I left for that and got there at 8 AM. It was me, Aastha, Ellie Kate, and Briana there today, so we met up in the parking lot and walked in together. We had to sit in the waiting room for like, 15 minutes before someone came to get us. That lady talked to us some in a small conference room, just telling us the rules and all that, then we got a little tour, and then we went to their morning meeting. This was kind of boring, they were just talking about some of the patients, where they were going, where they're coming from, that kind of stuff. Then we split up and Ellie and Briana went somewhere, while Aastha and I stayed in the meeting room. We got to see some of the people get their meds, so that was kind of interesting, but not really. One patient, Lindsay, had to take Narcan and see if she felt better, so we just sat in this room for half an hour seeing if her symptoms got better. And I think my muscle relaxant was making me tired, I forgot that was a side effect of those. So I kept drifting off to sleep in my chair. Eventually that was over and the lady we were with took us on a more in-depth tour, over to the rehab area. We were over there for a bit, a guy over there gave us a pretty comprehensive tour. The patients were watching some comedians on the TV. Then they got information that we shouldn't be over in this area because one of the patients was a SEMO student and it was a breach of contract or something. So we were evacuated out of there and went to a big group meeting afterwards with all these patients. In this meeting, they were all able to talk about drugs and alcohol and all this stuff. I kind of missed most of it because I was really sleepy during this. Apparently there was one guy at the meeting who hears voices that he thinks are from God, and he's schizophrenic, and was waving his hands around. The people from my class were talking about that in post-conference. I completely missed that. But yeah, after that meeting we were basically done, the lady there signed our paper, and we left.
I went to Kidd's afterwards, filled up with gas, got a sweet tea, and then went to Nana's. I think I probably just played Terraria or watched YouTube there. I've been really into Terraria lately. That's been my game of the month.
Post-conference was at 2:30, so I went to that at SEMO and we talked about our experiences at our clinical sites. Nothing much happened here.
I went home afterwards and didn't do much here either. I think I played more Terraria and laid on the heating pad for my back. We were planning to go out to eat tonight for Janell's birthday since we never celebrated it because mom and dad were sick. I was going to go with my dad back to town, but he was going to the gym beforehand, so I drove myself back to town. I actually stopped at Nana's, dropped my car off, and then my mom picked me up. She also dropped off a ton of groceries that she got, so I'm fully stocked up over there. Thanks mom!
So she picked me up and we went to pick Janell up, who was at her dorm taking a nap. After we got her, we drove to Olive's Pitaria, which is where she decided to go. We got there and my dad met us there soon after.
The restaurant was in a house, so it just looked like we were walking into a house. But it was actually really good. It was mainly Greek food, so there were gyros, falafel, hummus, all that kind of stuff. I ordered something called a "Oh my Shawarma Wrap" which was shawarma chicken, pickles, and garlic sauce in a wrap and a side of fries. And mine was quite delicious. My dad got a gyro, Janell got something called a falafelito, and I think my mom got shish tawook. My dad's took a little longer to come out than everyone else's so he was a little sad. But all of that food was very good. And for a Friday night, it wasn't too slow. There wasn't a wait or anything. My weird acid-reflux thing happened pretty bad when I ate my food to fast and I had to go to the bathroom and digest all of that. Then Janell also ordered a Dubai chocolate cheesecake slice, and she shared a couple of bites with me, and that was delicious, too. I've never had Dubai chocolate before, definitely recommend. So that place was really good. I also took the rest of Janell's burrito thing because she wasn't gonna take it to-go.
After that we went back to drop Janell off and then me. After my mom dropped me off, I was planning to put on Modern Family, just relax, enjoy my solitude like I always do, but then Grant from TKE texted me, asking if I want to go out with them. So I said sure, because I haven't been at TKE since I left. So I cracked open a beer to prepare a bit for this and played Roblox until time to go.
I left to go there at 9:30 and drank almost a whole Four Loko that I had in my fridge once I got there. Then as I was heading in and ran into Nyk in the parking lot and talked to him some. Then I went in and talked to Scott, Owen, Ryker, Grant, and Whitlow who were all in there. Then we went out a little after 10.
I went with Scott and he drove us to Hypno. There was not much at all going on at Hypno. I ordered a vodka lemonade because that's what everyone was ordering. And it was pretty good for 3 dollars. I was pretty awkward at ordering because I wanted to just order and pay for it there and not open a tab, because the last time I forgot to close it and got a 15 dollar charge from The Library. So we sat there a bit and talked, not much happened. Then Scott took us to The Library. There, I talked to Rachel and Abby who were there. Then I went back over to our group and talked to them. I didn't even order any drinks from here, but I was drunk at this point. The Four Loko was kicking in. For some reason, I was really wanting the guys to go talk to this group of girls, because they always say they will, but they don't. So I went up to them and started talking, and Larik came over (he was there too) and he pulled me back over. I don't know what came over me. Literally liquid courage, because why'd I do that. We left eventually and went back to 333. We talked outside for a good while, I talked to Scott and Whitlow for a good bit, a couple of drunk cigarettes were passed around, and Scott was talking about how much he loved Alysa Liu. Then we were winding down and I slept on the couch there, and that was my night.
So today was good. 8/10 maybe. Just because it felt filling.
