un.pro.duc.tive

i guess when u open your eyes for the first time for the day, just to see that its 8.30 am (class starts at 8.30 am), you know that the day is just downhill from there.

truthfully speaking, ive been late before. and usually the hard part is just getting to class as early as possible and looking as good as possible in the shortest possible period of time. once i'm in class, everything turns out fine.

but this morning, i woke up with a throbbing head. i had gone to be last night setting the alarm at 7.00 am, hoping to run before class today. but when the alarm rang, my head buzzed even louder. so i slammed it off and went back to sleep without resetting the alarm. that's very typical of me. so i rushed to class in 10 minutes. not surprisingly, i wasn't the latest.

as Ms Janice ran through the MCQ questions, my head felt like a brick. didn't help that the room was dark and i had to answer questions. nevermind that. class ended early, 9.30 am instead of 10 am. so we sat down at the cafeteria thinking about where to head for breakfast. my mouth started to feel all bitter and my head was still spinning. Is that how morning sickness feels like??

anyway, i know i was going to throw up soon, so i told my friends i'm heading home. i walked as fast as my weakened knees could carry me to my car. and then i sped off, hoping my buzzing head had not blurred my judgement. the moment i reached home, i doubled over the toilet and threw up. it wasn't much. i mean, i didnt have anything for breakfast anyway. so it was just gastric juice.

walking slightly tipsy, i changed out of my jeans and fell into bed. i slept till 1.30-ish when Keith came home announcing his liberty (last day of UPSR).

i had porridge for lunch. my mouth was bitter all through the day. my head buzzed. i slept all afternoon. and when i figured a run could make things better, it poured in the evening. and so, i did a 100 sit ups. don't ask me what's the rationale. but i felt better. a run would've cured me entirely though.

and that was my wednesday. gone just because i had a couple of bad rambutans the night before. i am so running tomorrow morning. else i can kiss my half marathon target goodbye.
