Whoooooa it's been a while. I thought I posted a few times in October,
but it turns out I haven't posted since September. Eheh. Whoops.
Anyway, things that have happened since I've been gone:
- I won the Mario Kart 8 Tournament
- Also won a Cards Against Humanity Tournament
- Held Halloween Hellalate movie night (Hocus Pocus & The Addams Family)
- Held Over the Garden Wall Movie Night
- Talked to my teachers about anxiety/depression and have been working
on it
- Progressed more on my study abroad application
- Gotten equipment for Computer Club
- They finally fixed the wall in the Welty Lab
sooo yeah! Lotsa stuff. I'm still not really back in phlogging mode but
I hate not posting lol. Most of my absence has really just been due to
my depression getting worse and me shutting down, but I've been working
with a therapist in student life and the doctor downstairs on getting
better. Fingers crossed.
We got a bunch of new stuff for the Computer Club, and we've been
thinking about hosting Linux/Unix lessons this coming Spring (although,
I'd like to try and convince SBA to give us a few thousand dollars for
laptops and a server just for this). We'll seeee.
Part of the new stuff is a Cisco SPA112 ATA (analog telephone adapter)
(thank you Cat for telling me what to buy lol), and I've got an old ITT
touch tone phone hooked up to it on my SDF VoIP extension! Woo! If
anyone wants to call me on it, I can be reached at extension 1057. I'll
definitely answer if I'm in the lab.
I think I've been having seizures lately (and off and on for the past
few years). I'm not sure if they're actually seizures or what, but it
feels basically just like a surge running through my body - usually
accompanied by short, involuntary jerks of my neck/head. Sometimes I
don't jerk but I still have a really violent physical reaction. I'm
really not sure. I've never been diagnosed with any kind of epilepsy and
flashing lights don't affect me, so I have no idea. I'll go to the
doctor about it, eventually, whenever I have time (and whenever they're
freaking open), but I'm not sure what they can do about it other than
just put me on more and more pills. My primary concern about the
"seizures" is whether or not the SSRIs are making them worse (because I
know I've had them before, especially during high anxiety, but Zoloft
*can* cause seizures in some people). As long as they don't stop me from
functioning, they're probably fine, but there is always a worry that
repeating seizures can cause brain damage over the long term. So can
stress, eheh. I'll figure it out; I am interested in knowing though if
anyone else has had similar experiences/epsiodes.
Aaaaaanyway that's all for now! Hopefully I'll be back again sometime in
the same month looool. Bye!
