Hunger Strikes Again

Today was probably the most stressful day of my life and I'm not exaggerating. It was also the day that I finally almost fainted.

You see, what happened was that I had gotten up from bed today around 11am and that's only because my current sleeping system is messed up right now. I find it difficult to fall asleep unless it is past 3am. So waking up by 11am already placed me on a disadvantage with my schedule for the day because I had lectures by 12pm, so I got op and immediately rushed into the bathroom. 11:30am I was already on my way to school.

With the lack of cash everywhere in the country, I had no money on me to get on a bus, I had to walk to class so I did just that. I finally got to class just in time as the lecturer walked in. Now the plan had been to stay for the entire lecture I had that day, which was going to last till 5pm but due to the fact that I had nothing to eat that morning, I decided to just stay till maybe 3pm or 4pm and then I'm off.

4pm came and the lecturer was beginning to round up his lectures. I was already tired and couldn't wait to get home. But just as the 4pm lecturer was about to leave the class, the lecturer who had the last class of the day walked in. Now this is the university, I easily could have walked out, ignoring the man if I wanted to. But there had been certain cases where a lecturer saw a lot of students leave his class just as he walks in, so he gets upset and gives an impromptu test.

I missed about two test the last semester, I had no plans to miss any this semester, so I stayed back. By the time he was done, I could feel my body shaking and I wasn't even cold. I immediately rushed home only to realize that I had no water (our transformer got spoilt some few days ago so we've had no power supply and have to fetch water downstairs just so we could bath and do other things). So now I was left with two choices, go get something to eat and fetch the water later or go fetch the water now.

I know the first option seemed like the best one to go for, but I didn't. I knew that with the way I was feeling, if I ate anything, I wouldn't be able to do anything else for the rest of today, and I needed to fetch that water because I had early classes the next day. So I picked up my bucket and began my journey. By the time I was done fetching the water, I could no longer breath properly. I probably would have fainted if I knew how to.

Luckily for me, all of that is all over and I'm now resting on my bed. I'd have to force myself early to bed today but to be honest, with how tired I feel, there won't be much forcing. I just hope I never get to stress myself this way ever again.
