I'm Still Alive!

Hey! I'm over here!
I haven't done a post since last month. I know, tsk tsk to me. But I haven't had any real reason to post, I think. I am undoubtedly a bad blogger.

Another thing. I think I'm changing the purpose of my blog. I thought in the beginning that maybe I could do commentary on current events, but it turns out that I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at that. :) Kudos to me, man.

So today I'm not at school. Why? Because of horrible, horrible uterine cramps. Which is quite ironic considering that my wonderful gym teacher, Mrs. Newton, expressed to us yesterday (the first day of 2nd semester) that periods will not excuse anyone from class. And in the event that they do, it means lost marks and there is NO way we'll get them back. The issue is that my mother and I both think I may have menorrhagia which is a fancy word for an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. This is just a google-inspired diagnosis, but there's a possibility there. From what I've read on the wikipedia page, it's pretty serious. We've gotten around to treating it with Advil (my favourite NSAID in the world) and it's seemed to work the last two times, cutting down my periods from lasting somewhere around three weeks to only one. Yay! although i'm pretty sure the fabled 4-6 tablespoons that is deemed normal has already left my body in the span of a day and a quarter.

And that's the story. I doubt I'll be able to tell that to Mrs. Newton especially since I've only been in her class once. I already have a hard time talking to teachers that I know at times. And then this happens. Hopefully my mom will explain my situation for me.

Today I think I'll do some writing. And maybe play some Wii Fit.


Cheers.
