1)Emily Hermann, along with other frequent blog readers of mine
2)Every single person I've met here in Hawaii
3)My teachers
4)Specifically my 7:30 am Anthropology teacher, of whose class I recently dropped... after midterms had passed...
I have not been myself. And it has affected my life in every aspect. And i'm sorry.
Going on 23 days of constant illness. To list a few (in order of occurrence:
1)Fever
2)Dizziness
3)Fatigue and headaches
4) Pneumonia-like symptoms... did I actually have Pneumonia? Don't know, the doctors here don't diagnose. They just give you expensive drugs.
5)Chest congestion
6) Disgustingly gross chest cough
7)Headaches. again.
8)Sinus congestion
9)Flu-like symptoms and stomach pains
10)Sinus infection and all the joys that go along with that
11)fatigue, again
12)More headaches
But hey, that's just normal, right?.......
At first I went with the natural route. Slept a lot, and drank a lot of Orange Juice and a lot a lot of water. Nothing.
So I left the natural ways in the dust, and turned to medicinal tactics. Nothing. Still not getting any better. Ironic,no? I even caved and finally went to the Health Center a week ago. This is my expensive collection of things I've taken, in order.
Finally tonight, I have found the answer. Although I hate vitamin water, I cannot taste anything, thanks to my sinus infection. Tomorrow looks like this:
1250 Calories, 325 Grams of sugar, 10 dollars, 10 bottles, 10 simple steps to total, epic, speedy recovery in just ONE DAY.
1)CONNECT: I am drinking this one tonight, before I read the scriptures and fall asleep. It will help me connect to the spirit, to my mind, to the earth, to the moon, to the gods and goddesses of everything good in the world.
2)REVIVE: Mornings are the worst. So when I wake up I will drink this one to help revive me, and prepare me for the day.
3)ESSENTIAL: I will drink this one at breakfast. Because it is essential....
4)FOCUS: I'll down this one on my way to class, to help me focus on my studies. This is something that I have not been able to do at all. So, this drink will fix that. Thanks, drink!
5)ENERGY: Whenever I start to lose my cool during class, I will drink this to regain consciousness.
6)ESSENTIAL: Again, simply because it's essential. I thought because it's so darn important, I'd get 2 of them.
7)POWER: In the afternoons I always start to feel down. My body gets tired and I start to get frustrated. This one will give me the strength to bust right through that barrier. Punch it right in the face.
8)DEFENSE: Tomorrow evening I'll be dealing with some issues I need to take care of. Before, however, I will drink this. It will help me stand up for myself. D! FENCE! D! FENCE!
9)DOWNLOAD: This one is to remind me to get online tomorrow evening and download all my recent pics and update this here blog.
10)SPARK: This one is very very important. This one will spark my hope. This one will keep my thoughts towards all things good. It will give me a spark of hope that this 10 step plan will work. And it will. I promise.
SO wish me luck!
life is good
sometimes it bites.
but it's still good.

I kind of saw the outcome from reading this post.Make sure you're taking LOTS of vitamin C (not just liquid type, but perhaps in form of a pill AND EAT FOOD too. And also Vitamin D helps stay healthy. AND EAT healthy! Hope you're feeling better. (hug)
I just went back and realized i never did an update post after this.... I didn't want to horrify anyone. It was TERRIBLE! Awful, horrendous, disgusting... it gave me nightmares afterwards. I don't recommend this 10 step plan for ANYONE! Not even my enemies. I made it 5.5 drinks through the process, in all of 5 hours. I went to the bathroom possibly 20 (That's NO exaggeration) during those 5 hours. And it wasn't because I had to pee.
