Today began with me feeling like I was in an anime, sitting on a bench outside of a hospital with a gray sky and cold wind. I went to the emergency room today, which doesn’t mean what it does in the states. It’s just all that was open today and I didn’t want to keep…

Drinking a bottle of water before breakfast is my new favorite thing. I did it again today I felt significantly more awake and good in class today.
