outdatedclocks has pointed out that my lower-back/hip problems, and my leg problems, are probably all related to the issues I have with my feet (lack of arches?). I've been making do with CVS-brand arch support pads, but they're not really enough, and I'd like to be able to do some cardio and upper-body stuff again, which I can't really now since my back hurts alllll the time. I'd been putting off talking to my doctor about it because of my terrible experiences with my last one...even though this one's shown no indication she's suddenly going to go all 'you're lying, you must be sneaking nachos in the middle of the night, fatty' on me. In fact, she'll probably be happy to help me out, since she wants me exercising before I go on T since I have a genetic disposition towards hypertension (dad's been hospitalized for it).

BTW, for those curious about the whole doctor saga, since I've posted it around a few places but not actually here at my main journal I think (since I just realized last night ocelotofdoom had never read the whole thing)...I submitted the whole thing to First, Do No Harm (excellent blog BTW) so you can read it here (it's so long I don't see a need to copy+paste it here P:)

Speaking of ocelotofdoom, we might be hanging out this weekend :D or rather, probably are. I am still working out the logistics, I think I'll stay on campus this weekend and take the train into the city. It would mean missing a therapy appointment, but I've skipped weeks in the past (or rather, therapist has cancelled on me) so I know it won't do any damage emotionally or to my comfort level with him.

Okay I really should go to class 6 u 9;;


ETA TAG PARTY

ACHIEVEMENT GET: MACRO ECONOMICS WRANGLING MASTER

Apparently I impressed the entire macro ec class without really meaning to today?! I WAS JUST ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS

Dr. Bakkal compared my answer to that one tomato sauce commercial? i.e. 'it's all in there'

And one of the kids had me repeat another thing I said so he could take notes on it

I guess I shouldn't say 'kid', he is apparently married, his age was hard to tell so I thought he was more around my age. He also came up to me after class to tell me I'm 'awesome' and he was impressed by me. And apparently the question/discussion Bakkal and I had after class answered the question of like, everybody else who stayed after. I am success at everything???

I AM SUCCESS AT EVERYTHING

Also, get dorm room to myself tonight as roommate is going off to do...something...I think driving lessons? She is working on getting her license.

Also we have contacted the appropriate people about the empty room in our suite and they said they are going to fill it with two more people who are not us :c no single room get. Sad.


Finally for something some of you are more likely to be interested in, doesn't this song start just like...um...Crawling in my Skin I think?? I am a terrible Linkin Park fan, I forget which of their old songs is which.

IDK IDK I like this song though. Probably Skillet is like part Linkin Park or something and I'm just too out of touch with the world to know these things
