Not a whole lot to mention today

So there's not a whole lot going on that is new. My poison ivy/oak/sumac is getting better, slowly, but is still pretty bad. School is picking back up, in fact, last night my brilliant friend and I spent 3 and 1/2 hours working on our dynamics homework. It's great to be back (that's sarcasm, boys and girls).
On a more interesting note, I get to construct some fiberglass this afternoon, as part of our Engineering Material Science class' lab. That, at least, should be pretty cool. And on a completely unrelated note, I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SUMMER!

Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac

As the last post says, I got poison ivy or poison oak, poison sumac, something, over my spring break. Pretty much blows, my right arm has several spots that are completely blistered up and oozing yellow stuff. So I went to the sick bay this morning and got 4 meds - calamine, aluminum acetate, steroids, and a form of benadryl. Hopefully this stuff clears up soon...until it does I'm missing my professional rescuer classes as well as a lot of sleep, and homework is even more of a chore.

I spent an hour medicating my arms this morning after sick bay (skipped a class to do so), and they're feeling much better right now, hopefully that means they're starting to heal...
