Day 64

Yesterday I felt so sick, as soon as I crawled out of bed for class, I found myself crawling back in it not being able to move. I guess it's natural to get sick at least once during the semester, but I was thoroughly convinced I would never be able to move again. I couldn't make it to any of my classes, and even had to cancel on getting a coffee with an Australian friend. The morning in bed actually proved to be quite helpful though, as I was able to bring my genetics into bed with me and spent the entire day studying for my midsemester exam on Wednesday.

I unfortunately also had to work that night at 6, the first half of it being pretty much my absolute hell since my stomach was hurting so badly I walked at pretty much a snail pace to avoid upsetting it more. Eventually I sat down a bit and was able to close that night without becoming sick at the restaurant. The biggest problem, however, was the THREE different parties of far over 10 people each coming into the restaurant 15 minutes before we closed. The entire back part of the restaurant was completely filled with chairs and people, making it absolutely impossible to get even to the kitchen without asking some people to get up and move. An hour later, all of the parties were still there, and as it was almost 1 in the morning I was ready to just fall asleep where I was standing. Finally once we took even their drinks away from them, they got the hint and left. I don't think we've ever cleaned up the restaurant that quickly before heading home, absolutely exhausted. At least I'm racking up the hours this week, which I'll need for my midsemester break, starting the week after next! I can't wait!
