How did it go? I honestly have no idea. And, since I'm occasionally superstitious, I'm not going to write anything more about the test on the off chance that I'd jinx myself.
Instead, I'm working on a couple posts that will include more South Dakota pictures. Until they are finished, I've decided to provide other entertainment. A week from now, I'll be in Thailand and as such, today was the first day in what will hopefully be a vigilant effort to prevent myself from getting malaria. I just took my first malaria pill a few hours ago and can now verify that "upset stomach" deserves its spot on the "common" side effects list. Below, for your enjoyment, I've posted a list of the not-so-common side effects of the pills. Needless to say, I'm hoping my current queasiness is the worst of it.
Special side effects:
- tingling in your fingers or toes
- difficulty walking
- seizures
- shaking of arms or legs that you cannot control
- nervousness or extreme worry
- depression
- changes in mood
- panic attack
- forgetfulness
- confusion
- hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)
- violent behavior
- losing touch with reality
- feeling that others want to harm you
- thoughts of hurting or killing yourself
- rash
