today

neurofirbromayalsis???? what??? so today i asked this girl to go to my birthday dinner thing tonight and she said she didnt drive so she couldnt. i asked her why and she told me she had this thing....it made her pass out and get dizzy and have headaches....sounds like me! but she left class early and i didnt have the chance to ask her any more questions. now i really want to get an MRI. i looked it up and thats the only real test for it.

anyways, i was able to see the board fine and all then i started to get nautious again but only slightly and my eyesight was a little blurry and had to use my glasses. i'm starting to notice these types of things. like what happens and why and at what time, more specific.

i'm getting over my cold but still not well enough.
but i'm happy ;-)
