"Doctor, it hurts when I do this!"

robotech_masterI took a little advantage of my insomnia this morning to call and make an appointment on the campus health center to get a problem looked at that's been bothering me for a few days. I have a canker sore toward the back of my tongue that has been making it slightly painful to eat. I was a little worried about this, because last year at about this time, I had a whole passel of canker-type sores, all around the back of my throat, which made it nearly impossible for me to swallow anything. The doctor prescribed a noxious glutinous numbing solution that I was thoroughly sick of by the time it was over--but it did the job of numbing my throat, I have to admit--and some antibiotics to get me through it, and a hearty infusion of homemade chicken soup from the parents (thanks again, parents!) didn't hurt either.
Anyway, it's apparently just an ordinary, if very persistent, canker sore, and the doctor prescribed me some creme for it, and a few days of Amoxicillin, an antibiotic. Hopefully that will do the trick. I feel kind of silly going to the doctor and getting prescribed $14 worth of medicine...for just a canker sore. But I'd rather be safe than sorry, and at least the doc was free since I'm still in school for one more semester.
I'm waiting for my classmates for the project we are to work on again, as I was last week. I'm getting a little worried about the project, to be honest. It seems like we're a little behind where we ought to be, and we have another report coming due in a week or so. We haven't even started coding yet. I'm just afraid this is going to lead to a lot of hard work, and I'm a little nervous about possibly being accused of not doing my share. It sure feels like I'm not doing a lot. I'd like to do more, but again, I'm a little worried about my abilities.
It really doesn't help matters that every class I'm in this semester either requires a final project or flat-out is a final project. I have to help (1) write a database app for a small business (this project); (2) write a Java app for a small business type of environment; (3) teach a training course in Web Images at the local library; and (4) do a value chain analysis of five companies in a chosen industry.
I am going to be soooo glad when this darned semester is over with.
