Concussed

Our first basketball game of the year started last Saturday (3/6). With our first game came my third concussion of my lifetime. That pretty much kills the creative process for a while. My for today was to sit down and catch up on my writing. Unfortunately, I killed my brain cells in a standard collision. No one fell. No one bonked their head on the grond. I merely ran into the guy while cutting through the middle of the land. I wouldnt have noticed it, if not for that feeling when I got back on defense. You know, that feeling like your brain is corned beef hash inside of a dented can. You might as well give me a gun rack for my gun rack because my IQ is sinking faster than that dairy I had for lunch.

Every time I have a concussion my intelligence drops a little. I know my other two concussions happened when I was around middle school. But the long term effects seem visible to me. I cant be sure though. What can I be sure of is my short term effects.

This time around I didnt notice I had a concussion until a half an hour after the game. As my adrenaline died down my headache got louder. I felt a little disoriented. I had some trouble trying to speak larger words. And I had a few problems trying to speak semi-eloquently. Now, I was exhausted. On the other hand my mom wouldve urged me to the hospital. And I probably should have gone. I know how to take care of myself. The symptoms got better over night. Nonetheless, I think I am going to ask my co-teacher to take me in to the doctor tomorrow if the symptoms strongly persist. For now, I am fine. You know Im stubborn. So, dont worry! haha

With that said, I want to update you on some other things. Unfortunately, I cant press my brain for a lot of information and creativity right now.

But I did include a post game photo of our basketball team, Bucheon Bling
