Inside the clinic pt 2

So far it hasn't been too bad. We haven't started the medication yet, just done blood draws and bp measures. We had a few hours where we were allowed outside today. Unfortunately it was too cold to just walk around, and what wasn't closed was really boring. About half the people have been sent home for one reason or another. My roommates suck and don't really talk at all, but the rest of the people have opened up quite a bit. The food is terrible also. It's supposed to be low-carb, low-sugar but they do this by giving us tiny portions of high-carb foods. And I keep having to pick meat off of and out of everything. Lame.

So I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I'm doing a paid 2-week medical study at a clinic 45 minutes from my city. I checked in at 4pm today. It's been sort of weird so far. Someone I used to hang out with is in the study with me, which is sort of cool. Everyone else is really quiet.

I expect to be really bored for the next couple weeks. I've brought an entire duffel bag of books, zines, and tapes.

I'll let you guys know if I end up growing a tail or gaining superpowers or something.

p.s. Let's have a show of hands: how many of you thought "the clinic" in this blog's title was refer
