  So when *i was in the 3rd grade, way before i moved to
  MD, before I was reconstructed of metal, Way before I realized me and
  my sister were the only asians in our school/ town growing up in ohio.
  I missed school. for 2 weeks. (The only other time I didnt have perfect
  attendance was for my grandma connie and Granpa Catalino’s 50th
  aniversary) I somehow got a vile ear infection in both ears. I could
  barely hear anything for weeks and the insides of my ears were litterly
  *blood red. Preasure points arround my head felt like they were water
  baloons overflowing with liquid begging to pop. and the pain kept me
  from the simplest of movements including arm and leg control till the
  pain overcompassed my whole body. opening my eyes to see a world with
  only the sound of pain pulsing through my body. when you scream at the
  top of your lungs and cant hear a single note of it……. it just
  scares the shit out of you. since the ears are conected to ballance its
  easy* to to spend the hours that your not confined to bed crawing with
  every last breath to the toilet to vomit wat little food you were able
  to consume just moments before. Even with medications the virus takes 2
  weeks to die, and till it dies it just get more and more painful till
  it consumes every last bit of feable humanity. Pain killers are
  compleastely useless in any dosage and at that age it was extremely
  serious healh risk 

   

  Monday…. I woke up and my left
  ear sounded clogged. it was a little irratated. I thoguht noghtitng of
  it till i tried to blow my nose. My ear temple and presurepoint behind
  the ear at the base of the neck felt like they were going to explode. I
  took* some nyquil, Hoping it was nothing,* tuseday I woke up and i
  could bartely hear anything in my left ear. and the pain got worse.
  increasingly worse. in *the mornign i tried 400mg of ibuprofin, the
  normal dosage i take for my leg wh*en it hurts…. it did nothing. in
  the after noon i took one 500mg extra strength tylenol cold and flu,
  again wiht no results, and then later tried some antihistamines and **
  extra strenth non asprin pain killers, all un effective.* So wednesday*
  i finally get a chance to go to the clinic at school. because i thought
  i have health insurance there. When i got to the desk, they said it
  expired tuesday. The lady asked if i wanted to comback later when i get
  new insurance but i said id like to just pay out of pocket.*

   

  —— side note.* In the past 5
  years Ive had health insurance from the government, My work, and the
  school. So far the most useful was the military one which was acepted
  everywhere and basically free. Work was second but only worked half the
  time and forced me to take extra eye apointments that they did not pay
  for anddental restrictions with apointments i week before the insurance
  was willing to pay for things. THE LEASE HELPFULL WAS THE SCHOOL PLAN*,
  it was accepted NOWHERE for NOTHING, Everythign was* OUT OF POCKET and
  sicne i did have insurance theres not self pay discount. $5000+ spent
  on insurance $978 spent out of pocket reguardless of having the
  “insurance”. soooo if i didnt have the health insurance and jsut payed
  out of pocket I woudl have $4000+ Literally set aside to use on myself
  for medical emergiencies and what not. End side note———–

  *

  Paying out of pocket at the
  school, REDUCED the normal check up free of $75 to $55 for non insured
  patient plus an additional discount for se*lf pay making the visit cost
  $35.  then 3 medications at $21+ each came to $91.25 which is jsut
  tacked on to your student account at the end of the semester. Orrrrr I
  c*ould have spent another $900 on the health plan which reduces the $75
  fee to $10,* and doesnt cover perscription costs. * so with insurance i
  woudl have had to pay* $966.25.*** * Using my brain right now is
  hurting alot ;_; *** and thats one of the muscles i like to use the
  most ;_;***

   

  So on with the story. The doctor
  looked in my left ear and saw red. Bright BLOOD RED… Its the same
  infection from when i was little. and it jsut started. I have to take
  both medications 4 times a day.* Pain Killers are useless* Usually its
  my leg that hurts to much to let me do anything but this is a hell of
  alot more painfull. and its jsut starteing. I still have possible*
  Large episodes of projectile vomiting,  and THE ever so FUN internal
  bleeding. and every time i try to * blow my nose my head will try to
  explode. SO I have hopefully* only 2 more weeks of this. each day will
  get more and more painful, and will always hurt like a bitch. To be
  honest alot of the time im jut sitting down somewere isnt because im
  lazy or dont want to move. its because the pain in my knee and leg wont
  let me move. the good thing is the pain in my head right now * greatly
  allows me to ignore my leg.

   

  Right now im trying to get as much
  stuff done and be as active as possible before the pain has a chance to
  get to me. The good thing is im alot older now, and its only one ear
  thats messed up. but*… well to put it simple… everytime theres a
  star”*” in my entry I had to stop cause it hurts.  It hurts too much to
  stay still and rest. but i can still do my chores. only have to do them
  for a couple more days. but ny wednesday ill be bed ridden for sure. *
  cause i will also be gettign all 4 wisdom teeth ripped out. hopefully
  the medications they give me for that will still work and not interfere
  wiht the ear medications. ** I should stock up on icecream. and soft
  foods.

  Books

  ———————

   

  Buy and sell books online, not
  from the bookstore. my next semesters books cost me 5.75 after
  shipping. at the book store used is $28 new its $36. and alot of my
  books from last semester are already updated wiht new revisions so
  there useless at the school,,, *and actually, alot of the old clases i
  took when i first came here no longer exist sooo they didnt want to buy
  those books either…….  =( aside from a couple 20 dollar books, most
  they accepted were worth $1-$3 making my total cash for books $59.50
  woo freaking hooo. … So if anyone is taking arecheology 1or2, or art
  history 1 or 2 and needs the books i have them ^^.***
