Nutrition Lecture

After plenty of convincing, Jae Eun finally got off my case. We decided to get breakfast at the cafeteria and meet after class to get groceries. "If anything like this morning happens again, we're going to the hospital Mi Sun. What if something is actually wrong?" Jae Eun worried and worried as we walked to class. 

"I'll call you if anything else happens, okay?" I did my best to comfort her. She silently shook her head and continued walking in silence. When we reached campus, we said our goodbyes and went on our way. 

I hurried into my nutrition lecture, one minute before the teacher was to begin. As I made my way up to a free seat, I tripped on numerous desks. What is going on with me? I'm so clumsy today, I thought to myself. As soon as I sat down, an immediate relief flooded through me now that I didn't have to worry about tripping on anything else.

The lecture seemed to last forever, but I took copious notes. A few times the pencil flung from my fingers as I tried to write as fast as I could. After the lecture, my fingers felt numb from all the writing. 

As I stood up, I stumbled. The man next to me saw me and grabbed my arm, stabilizing me. I smiled at him and nodded him on. "You okay?" he asked, his expression worried. "I'm fine, thank you. Just a bit dizzy from sitting so long," I explained. 

I wasn't dizzy in the slightest. My legs were numb and my knees had given out. As the man smiled and left, I gathered my belongings and wobbled out of the lecture room, stopping several times to grab the edge of the desk. At this point, even I couldn't deny it. Something was wrong.
