I would apologize for not doing an update yesterday (this story and TUAoC), but I was not feeling very well last night.

After dinner, I started to get really tired. That's when the unbearable back pain occurred.

I honestly had to call it a night after two hours of silently suffering, at which point, it was about 9:30.

I passed out an hour later. What a great way to finish the day.

I did, however, was able to complete my week two summary for Terminology meaning I'm officially done with the course.

And, wow, I completely forgot how much I love the word phalanges. I am so happy that animal anatomy is so similar to human anatomy (it makes sense though I wasn't sure if the terminology would be this similar), it makes it easier for me.

Other than that, I helped my mom and sister with some grad party food shopping.

That was mainly my day.

Now onto today's main fiasco. I had ordered a book and some supplies from the college's bookstore last Monday. Two days ago I was sent an email saying my order was shipped. My package was delivered today.

Oh boy, my excitement wore off real fast.

First, the package was heavily damaged with an absurd amount of tape covering the entire thing. Second, according to a sticker on said package noting that the box was damaged before it arrived to be sent, so the bookstore had shipped a faulty package to me.

Third, I received an announcement yesterday from my program director saying to make sure you get the right patch. Since there are two different programs offered (veterinary technician and veterinary assistant), they have two different patches to be worn on the student lab coats. I checked right after reading that, yes, I did pick the right patch.

Unfortunately, because of a coding error from the bookstore website, I received a vet assistant patch. Not a mistake on my part, but the school's error.

Fourth, and hopefully, the last thing that was wrong with my order. Because of the fact that the package was damaged, I'm pretty sure that the penlight I ordered was lost in the mail.

That's my life in a nutshell.

When it rains, it pours.

I sent an email to the bookstore explaining my situation and haven't heard anything back yet.

Anyway, I wanted to write some more since we didn't do any party prep today, that didn't exactly happen.

I felt better this morning (although I had a hazy dream that I don't remember at all), I am just...off.

I'm not going into much detail. Don't worry, I'm not sick. I am merely feeling unwell.

I know why I do. I was hoping that this month would be better, I was wrong.

As I said earlier, when it rains, it pours. Especially when it comes to this year.

I'm frustrated that this year happened (and with how everything is being handled and shown) this way because this was supposed to be my year.

I finally feel like I was getting my life back on track, and then, the world went to chaos.

Wow, now I'm emotional as my back pain comes back full force.

I'm going to end this here as I'm going to lay down to sleep it off.
