Meningitis, oh my!
Ok so that's not all chapel was about today, but it has got to be topic of the day!
So today some I.T. guy gets up, gives a schpeal about the new technology we are getting so that we can register online next semester! Awesome right? Well, next thing I know, some man in a lab coat jumps on stage after the presentation and grabs hold of the microphone.
"Ok ya'll, listen up. We have a nation-wide epedimic sweeping across every campus." Thats right, meningitis. What is it? Well he didn't get into ALL that, but according internet research, the physical symptoms are rashes on the body(that appearantly do not turn white while pressing them!!)
Other symptoms? Vomiting, headache Drowsiness, High Temperatures, Joint Aching/Pain, Stiff Neck, Dislike of Light, (In children?--> high pitched moaning, dislike of being handled, aching back, blank staring, difficult to wake up, fever, cold hands/feet, refusing to feed, pale/blotchy. --- I don't know 'bout ya'll, but this is what I'm like when I wake up every morning.
So, most hysterical, I'm listening to guy say "...so this girl went on Spring Break, and the next day SHE'S DEAD!" (propaganda against 'spring-breaking'...much?) Then without missing a beat, I hear "hey,...dad. Did I get a meningitis shot?" I look over at my hunched over chapel-mate trying not to get caught talking on his cell phone while he makes a desperate plea to his father. "No dad, for real, did I get the shot? No? ok well i need to get one. No, I don't have it, but this guy says there's an epedimic and it's important I do...ok,... bye." Again, without missing a beat, the doctor guy announces "oh...and the shot is $70." The guy who just panicked to his Father made this hysterical face and shouted "SSHHHYEAH!! Ya'll can FORGET THAT!!!" Ya'll, everyone was picking me up off the floor. It's like church, once you start laughing, it only gets worse!
It's always a blast in chapel... Like Monday, we had a fire drill in chapel. That's right, just in case the gates of hell open up in Loyd Auditorium, we'll have our act together and make it out in 3 minutes flat. Everyone knew it was coming, so when the alarm went off, the people's scream reminded me of the movie Titanic, NO JOKE. Like, the screams were taken off the film, and put in chapel. I started looking for lifeboats letting someone else besides women and children onboard. I had to laugh.
