I hate having this stupid injury. My Christmas Break was going great until yesterday. Now I am enduring my 2nd day of unrelenting back pain and no matter how many pills of aspirin and hydrocodone I take it won't let up. Right now I'm wearing a IcyHot PM patch and I hope it will loosen the muscles enough for me to find some small comfort in sleeping tonight. Last night I didn't fall asleep until I took a pill at 12:30 am and the patch had time to work the muscles loose around my sore spine. I seriously think I hurt the spine and not the ligaments. I can't handle any pressure at all to the area that hurts and this morning it felt like the bone was on fire. The shower only made it worse too. Figure that one out. I haven't yet but who knows? School starts up on the 12th and I move back into my dorm room on the 11th. I have a Calculus class bright and early on that Monday morning and I want to be ready for it. I will be switching sections because I didn't get the professor I asked for and I want to be able to understand my teacher. I hate taking a class I'm not very good in and I can't understand a word the person is saying due to some foreign accent. Nothing against the idea of living here but come on people. I don't dish out over 18 thousand dollars a year to Purdue to sit in a class and listen to someone I can't even understand explaining Calculus to me. Getting close to midnight. I better sign off soon if I want to get some sleep. Tomorrow I get to go see Purdue Men's Basketball take on Valpo and I can't wait to see us wipe the floor with them. Boiler Up!
