Freezing rain.

So yesterday it was raining, but it was so cold that it would freeze upon hitting the ground. It was around one o'clock, and I was going down to lunch with Ryan and Sara. I take two steps outside of the door at the bottom of the fire exit (which we are allowed to use as a regular exit) and what do I do? My feet totally slip out from underneath me, I fall backwards on my butt and smack my head on the ground. That was the most painful my head has EVER felt. Maybe the most pain I've ever been in. I was still conscious and everything, but I landed on my butt, right elbow, and head. I could talk and whatever, but I was in so much pain that I couldn't really comprehend what was going on around me. I heard some guys walking by ask if I was all right, but I couldn't answer because I was so shocked by what had just happened. Ryan gave me Advil right away which I took... I'm thankful because it most definitely helped ease the throbbing. Anyway, I went after about five minutes of sitting in ice (my butt was freezing and soaking), I got up and held on to Sara and Ryan to go get lunch. I called the health clinic later to see if I should come in, and they said that unless I started vomiting or something that I should be fine. I didn't vomit or blackout or have severe headaches, so I'm assuming I'm okay. I still have a really sore spot on my head that messes up my sleeping, but I'm okay otherwise. But seriously, it could have been really dangerous. And I know of at least three other people who did the exact same thing as me (except maybe not hitting their head, although I know at least one person who did) in the exact same place. Yikes.

Anyway. That's what's going on with me... Most imminently, anyway.

Well...

Darn. I like Bill Richardson. Too bad he doesn't have a flying crap chance at winning. Not that I consider myself literate about politics and the current presidential race at ALL, but from the debate tonight, he impressed me. Unfortunately, I think the reason I liked him the most was due to the fact that he seemed the most honest, the most realistic, the most real in general...And unfortunately, I attribute that to the fact that he has no chance at winning the nomination and thus he can actually be honest and such to the public. :/
