ER visit/other minor things

So, last night I had my first college visit to the ER!
Don't be alarmed people, I didn't get sick/alcoholically poisoned/spiked drink/whatever, I went there to help out a friend of Amy's who had done something (still not sure what) and ended up in the ER.

Y'all.....the ER is scary. It's a scary place. There are people just sitting around in the waiting room and I wasn't quite sure whether they were injured or waiting for someone, so either way I didn't want to stare at them because if they were injured, they'd be all, "Why is that kid staring at me? OMG he must know that I got wounded/drank too much/hurt myself in some significant way!" And if they weren't injured, they'd be wondering why a kid was staring at them in the ER. (By the way, I have a slight tendency to overthink things. Just in case anyone was wondering.) Also, back where we couldn't see was all of the emergency rooms, and I nearly went crazy just thinking about what some of the people had done to get in there. Every few minutes someone would come on the intercom and say something like, "Nurse assistance needed in room 52" or something and I would think, "Oh god! Someone's dying! I've never been in a room/near a dead person before!"

I wound up just sitting in a chair contemplating for a few minutes until we all left at 11:30 because the friend was fine but needed to stay for a few hours. Someone stayed with her, and the rest of us went back home.

And the friend's fine, she's at home now, she was released at like 1:30 am so everything's still good.

My visit to UVA has been stellar! Catching up with old friends, making a few new ones, renewing all the inside jokes I had with the old friends....life is pretty good right about now. Except for the fact that I have to write a 2-page paper on Ethical Reasoning, but that's alright. I can write ethical arguments like a pro.


Few minor things - AdSense is a thing that Google sponsors that puts relevant ads to my blog up on the sidebar, and every time you click one it earns me a little cash! But it's also ads invading your private space. HOWEVER - I will not EVER write a paid review of anything. I'll write reviews of stuff if I feel like it, but nobody will ever pay me to do it. Unless it's a bet. In which case I'll say so beforehand.

 - College is going well so far, this paper coming up is the first major thing I've had to do. First semester hasn't been too hard for me, but I feel like second semester is going to kick me in the ass just to make up for how easy first semester is. Bah.

 - The post times are 3 hours behind, so if I reference a time in one of my posts and you check the post time and are all, "WTF?" just know that.

 - Uh....comment if there's anything you want me to write about! If not, I'll just continue on my merry way making random posts about things that happen to me. I might post a few stories from when I was younger.

p.s. My first postscript!
p.p.s. That postscript had no reason for being there other than I wanted to make one.
