Collapsed

You're probably wondering why I named this entry "Collapsed". Interesting thing happened yesterday...
I woke up around 7:30AMish and my shoulder was absolutely killing me. I climbed out of my bunk and began the normal stretches. All of a sudden a wave of nauciousness swept over me. I felt like I was gonna vomit, it was really bad. I went to the bathroom and my head was spinning. I closed my eyes (it felt like not even a minute had passed) and when I opened them again, I was on the floor! Yea, I know. Scary. I sat there for a minute, my heart racing, my head beaded with sweat.
"What is going on?!" I thought.
Slowly I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. I'm telling you Casper looked tan! At the sight of myself I walked back to my room and climbed back into bed.
I text my mom later yesterday after I'd slept a good three hours and told her what had happened. She thought I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder which was why, when I tried to stretch it out, I felt sick. She thought that's why I passed out and maybe I'm coming down with a cold.
This latter statement I simply refuse to believe because I don't have time to be sick. There are papers to write and things to be done before I go to South Dakota for my mission trip and sickness just doesn't fit into my schedule.
I took some Motrin and slowly my shoulder's nerve began to unkink itself, I suppose, because my shoulder doesn't hurt now. (THANK GOD!)
I feel fine today, like it didn't happen but I still can't believe I collapsed. That's the first time I've fainted and it scared the ever living daylights out of me! Hopefully that doesn't happen ever again.

So there's my tale of trouble. I'm critiquing Belmont's rendition of Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" tonight so wish me luck!!
