Our Last Moment

UPDATE: Where has the author been?

This not a chapter, yet a brief note to where I have been. And I'm not fond to writing posts under my profile, so therefore, I'm writing it here.

Oh, and before I start. I'm quite aggrivated because I cant find the 'writer editing tools' where people are able to italicize words, auro-correct their papers, and have more writing options. So, if anyone knows where they are (there may have been an update or something. I don't know), can you PLEASE comment the location because I NEED my italicize tool!

Anyway-

G'day fellow readers! I'd like to apologize for not writing in over a month. I honestly can't believe it has been that long of a time period. So why haven't I written in so long (See, that should've been italicized. Ok, you get the point)?

So, in mid December of 2014, I got really sick. Well, not too sick where I was at death's door, but to the point where I couldn't eat any food. My stomach was in such pain, and I was really tired... like ALL the time.

I never went to the doctor's and it only seemed to get worse. Well, finally, my mom brought me to the doctor's office where then they discovered I had an ear infection. Not one, but a double. Yes, an ear infection in both ears! This wasn't a normal one though; instead of the infection being directly in the canal where it normally should be, it was on the eardrum itself.

My ears felt so clogged. So clogged that I couldn't even hear, practically. Well I got prescribed pills for the illness and then eardrops twice a day.

Hooray, my ears were going to be cured! Yay!

But, what about my stomach and fatigue. That, the doctors office couldn't figure out. I went to the ER. I didn't tell anyone at school, partly because I didn't want to look the idiots that take pictures of their medical wristbands to post on Instagram. So that's that. But when I got there they put me in a room and they gave me this disgusing [white looking] drink that tasted attrocious. But, not to mention, the amount of time it took to have a nurse just step foot in the room was over 3 hours... at LEAST. Relunctantly, my stomach felt so well a couple days later, and I didn't even feel tired anymore.

Now I had no stomach pain and my ears were going to get better. What's better than that?

Well, turns out my ears were getting no improvement. And then I had to get a better prescriptioned drug. I was terrified for multiple reasons:

1. The infection was still not better

and...

2. It was on my eardrum. This infection had the power to rupture my eardrum resulting in massive pain, loss of hearing, and/or no more going in the water. Did I mention I'M ON THE SWIM TEAM?

My chill level was no longer visible. Only had fears of going deaf and not being able to go under water.

Luckily, the medicine worked properly, and I had better ears in no time! Oh, and no ruptured eardrum. You can call me lucky, right?

After all this mess, it was around early January where my grades were started to drop. I didn't even know what had gotten into myself. Getting mostly A's and B's, I had an F, D, and C. I didn't feel "school" in me anymore. By snapping out of it and studying more, I didn't have anytime to write.

My schedule (LITERALLY)

5:30- wake up

6:40- catch bus

7:30- school starts

1:55- school ends

2:15- swim practice

4:30- FINALLY home again

4:31+- and the rest of time, I have to cover homework, extra studying to help my grades, showering, dinner, constant essays (that I guess goes under homework but still-), read my book, and then handle any company that shows up at my door.

See, I have no time and at about 10:00, I want to sleep not write a chapter.

Oh wait, the Weekend!

Yeah I still have a limited of time to write then, too. But that's when most of the future chapters will be written (just saying).

So if you're even still reading: I'm hoping to have the next chapter very soon! So, enjoy this quick (actually this was a lot more writing than I expected) message, and if you know anything about the writing tools like where they may be, PLEASE comment below to tell me.

Have a great day everyone
