Proper update later, I promise. I’m still living in this world — one more final to go (tomorrow morning at 9, ugh), and then I’ll finally be done with this crap-fest of a semester!

I thought I should update about what happened to me last night. It’s your typical “Tamisa” story — I poured myself a glass of  Honey & Mint Sweet Leaf Tea because I was thirsty. It’s the normal thing to do, yeah? Of course it is. A couple of minutes later, I’m halfway done with the drink. I notice something fuzzy floating on the bottom of the glass.

It’s mold. Awesome.

Of course, I freak out. I convince myself that I hadn’t actually swallowed a whole lump of mold, because I would have hopefully felt something icky and gross in my mouth, and I then proceeded to Google “what happens when you drink mold.” The answer: vomiting and diarrhea. Perhaps a fever.

Luckily for me, it’s been a little more than 24 hours, and I haven’t experienced anything horrible other than a really annoying mosquito that might have got the best of me while studying for my last final. I am now completely neurotic and OCD about double checking my glass/drink for anything that shouldn’t be there.

Lesson learned!
