FUCK. this is SO FUCKED up. can u believe that TWO yes TWO of my group mates are MIA? and our damn report is due at NOON later. yes, 9 hours later. and their parts aren't completed, amended, edited to suit the word count.
one of them insists on going to bed before 1am, claiming that he'll wake up with a fresh mind and be ready to continue writing his part but HELLO, the paper will be due in what? 4 hrs after u wake up?? and how the hell are the rest of us going to edit it and make sure it flows with the rest of the report? ever thought of that? the other grp member just disappears after sending her part and is not able to get internet access at night. ok, granted that's a reason. but the copy of her part with suggested changes was sent at 2pm! isn't 4 hrs enough?
and so here i am. with a kidney infection. my lower back hurts like a mo'fo. i feel nauseous and keep puking my pink dolphin *sob*, the area underneath my navel is sore and achy, and very bloated. i am weak. it takes me a damn long time to go to the loo cos i have to WALK DAMN FAR and i walk DAMN SLOW now cos i get frickin' tired easily cos my kidneys are not working properly. i run a low grade fever (below 37.5) during the nights and my left shoulder/upper back hurts from slouching over my laptop when i SHOULD be RESTING. i'm supposed to get LOTS of bed rest in order to recover and that's supposed to take two weeks?
dammit. best part is, the other 2 members of my group are really pulling their weight on the project and i feel like crap cos i went MIA on sat due to the stoopid YIH doc who insisted that i troop along down to the NUH A&E with her referral cos of my kidney infection. so first i woke up at 10ish and got to YIH by 11.30 (told u i moved slow), only to WAIT till 12.30 before i got served before the doctor tells me to go to NUH A&E, saying that i cld be hospitalised cos of the infection, writes me a guarantee letter that gives me 2-3 days free accommodation in a ward with 6 beds, before i head back to PGP to bath, change and prepare my stuff (in case i get warded). then i go to NUH A&E only to wait for fricking 3 hours and 45 mins before the doctor stationed there diagnosed me with MILD kidney infection and prescribed me THE SAME ANTIBIOTICS i would have gotten at YIH, but with a $70 fee attached to it. wtf man, like wtf.
i am so frickin' tired and sick and outraged at the same time. fuck. only 9 more hours to go.
