jhameiaSo, UGH. Today was around 43'c and the admin assistant found out I CAN apply for filing fee status, but I need to submit paperwork by Friday. This means FOUR signatures, by Friday. And my OPT I-20 was ready anyway so I went in to pick it up, but I also needed two passport photographs.
And I had this choice between walking to Walgreens for a passport photo, or meandering over to the sportsfield to see if there were bikes available, or taking a Lyft.
I took the Lyft. Because I stepped outside and decided FUCK. EVERYTHING.
I also took a Lyft to campus, and home, and despite all that, I had to walk across campus anyway to get to the international student center and the health center.
The international student adviser seems to think it's a good thing to go on filing fee status and I can send in my OPT application for a EAD card that'll start in December... I can send it 90 days before my program end date, or 60 days after. Either way, he said, my card wouldn't come in before December at this point, so it just makes better use of my time to go on filing fee status. BLARGH.
I went over to the health center to get a prescription for fluoxetine, which I got from the psychiatrist this morning. And that was a good appointment, actually. I thought I was downplaying everything and I WAS trying to be all "It's not as bad as it could be!" and relating to her all my coping mechanisms, and she was like "You are REALLY anxious and depressed and we should attend to that."
When I got home, I was.... SO. EXHAUSTED. I should have eaten something salty at that point, but I didn't think of it, and napped instead. I really did want to go for a swim, but the idea was just so overwhelming, so in the end, I didn't, breaking my ambition of swimming every single day of this heatwave.
Then again, I went swimming yesterday, and I was thirsty. IN THE POOL. So, maybe it was for the best.
I'm going to get one more signature tomorrow which means having to go out of the house again (SIGH I should have asked if there was a good time to go over IN THE MORNING I will be more careful next time).
Anyway. New drugs!
