arrivals day!  450 students arrived today - it's what we've been building up to for the past week.  aaaaand i felt horrible all day - i think i ate something that didn't agree with me.  UGHHHHHH - this was absolutely not the day to feel under the weather.  my coworkers kindly let me sit in the office all day, answering the phone and dealing with emails instead of checking the students in and running around the college taking kids to their rooms.  i'm not out of commission, just moving a little more slowly than normal and dealing with occasional bad stomach pain.  i very rarely have stomach issues - i really can't remember the last time i felt like this.

total food consumed today: 5 crackers and 1 small bowl of miso soup.  literally.  i also drank about 10 glasses of water, so at least i'm staying hydrated...

i was supposed to work until 11pm tonight, but when things calmed down a couple minutes ago my coworkers sent me to lie down.  i'm not tired, i just feel a million times better when sitting down or lying down.

fingers crossed i feel better tomorrow!
