no sleep

this malaria medication is making me sick. last night i tossed and turned all night, crippled over with cramps and feeling sore all over. i think i was literally awake for about 6 hours. not the best night's sleep when you go to bed at midnight and need to wake up at 7. i pressed snooze for 35 minutes until the last possible second of being able to lie in bed and not be late for work. it's a bit ironic that the medication protects you from malaria but makes you sick for the whole 42 days that you have to take it. (are any other PNGers having stomach aches and nausia?)
...3 classes today, which will hopefully mean the day won't drag...
7 more days till i'm on a plane to malaysia...

yeah! for the about 20 minutes i DID sleep last night i had a crazy dream about the nagoya expo. it was one of those bed dreams where you're at the place but you're also in your bed. kind of like a waitress dream, or hockey dream, or tetris dream. when you do too much of something, whenever you shut your eyes and try to sleep you just keep replaying things over and over. with my waitress 'bed' dreams i'd be in bed, trying to get to a customer, and thinking, 'no justine, you're in bed'. with hockey dreams i'd be trying to defend the net, but telling myself 'don't worry about it. you're in bed'

j-- you should do some research on the internet,
i have heard that those pills can make you sick, but you should look into it anyhow, it could be something more serious,
you have been out of it for awhile,
