Tuesday Part 2

O.K. So usually Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. It still is despite the pain I am in right now. So I was forced to go to the doctor since I basically couldn't hear out of my left ear and had tremendous pain. I have a really bad ear infection. After the torture of having whatever was in there sucked out, the doctor also had to put in something called a "wick" so that medication can get into my ear canal since it was completely shut. I hope this drops and medication clear this up soon. I still can't hear out of my ear and it hurts pretty badly. On the trainride uptown, I couldn't help but think about deaf people who have to work in our hearing world. It must be really difficult. I literally did not carry my MP3 player with me since I knew I wouldn't be able to hear anything with my "good ear" if I was listening to music. I even found myself not closing my eyes but rather paying attention even more to garbled subway announcements. It was a weird experience. I'm going to lay down for a bit and then get up and try to concentrate on schoolwork. Needless to say I didn't go to work out. I'll do some crunches on the floor later. More later.

10pm...Still can't hear out of my ear and there is still pain. I hope this starts to clear up tomorrow. Just a quick pet peeve... why do people put answer their telephones if they are into a t.v. show? Three friends literally couldn't talk because a series of t.v. shows were on...or if they remained on the phone, they were distracted so much that they weren't even listening to anything I was saying. I immediately ended the phone calls. Does t.v. rule our lives so much that one will die if we miss one minute of a particular show? Does technology and t.v. surpass human interaction? I think I was born at the wrong time..but I like being old school. Just a thought.
