went to get my tb test read today...it was 18mm (always have that kind of reading when i take skin tests, which in the past was good, coz i didn't have to take the bcg) which means i tested positive, anything more than 15mm is positive, and if you test positive you have to go take a chest x-ray. which is what i had to do...and pay for it too! and then tomorrow i've got to go talk to an advisor as a follow-up, she's going to "discuss" my x-ray results. most people who test positive have the "latent bacteria" in them, that's why it shows up on a test, and they recommend anti-biotics just to make sure it doesn't develop into full-blown tb. i sure hope they're not going to put my on antibiotics! hate the stuff...
had a quiz in my shakespeare class today, and i feel terrible about it...had 7 questions, only need to get 5 right to get full credit, but i think i'm going to get at only 4 at most right. i was reading hamlet in front of the computer...so i was immensely distracted (vic, not to blame you or anything...but our veil-no-veil conversation was taking place while i was trying to read hamlet) so i'm not surprised i couldn't really do the quiz. got to read more carefully next time, to make up for it! why couldn't the teacher have asked extra credit questions on the quizzes i did know how to answer? sigh...such is life.
