After the bright yellow and orange sun starts burning through my window, it woke me up, I sat up straight and took all of my medication, I unlocked my phone to be greeted with 6 missed calls and 22 different messages from my best friend. All of the most horrible images rushed through my head as I thought something was wrong so immediately I decided to call back… I was furious after the call, because my best friend led me to believe something bad had happened, but all of his stress was about his golf caddie whom bailed out for his tournament on Sunday and he just wanted to ask if I was up for it.

As my day continued I ate a sweet strawberry yogurt cup and started walking to my first class, but all I can think about is how quickly I accepted the privilege to caddie for him the day of his golf tournament. I arrive on campus and the smell of wet grass and mud catches my nose, it reminds me of my wonderful childhood where I would play and roll around on the grass early in the mornings when the doe was still ice cold. After class I take my second dosage of medication (I have to drink medication three times a day, because I was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, which basically means that my immune system is always busy attacking my intestines, there is no cure, but the medication can control it.) I almost start to burst out in tears, because the pain in my stomach is unbearable today. Hopefully the medication starts to work as soon as possible! Once the pain becomes bearable I start thinking about the golf. How am I supposed to carry a heavy weight bag for four to five hours without wanting to curl up in the fetus position. I will just have to toughen up and push through, because he needs me!

The sun is still very bright and it is almost noon, the rays of the sun reflect on the white cement floor and burns my eyes shut. I am on my way back to my apartment when I feel a cold, chilling breeze on the top of my neck. STOP! I was on my way to cross the street when a Toyota Hilux decides to skip the stop sign and flies by me at about 165 kilometres an hour. I was flabbergasted and I froze on the sidewalk, I feel like I had just made eye contact with the one and only Greek demigod Medussa. I think to myself,  “I must attain the courage to move my legs.” Finally I look around me to make sure it is safe, the last ten minutes are a blur, but somehow i find myself standing still with my front door locked in front of me. I have no idea how i got here, but at least I know that I am safe. I lie down on my bed and as my consciousness fades away my alarm starts screaming. It is time for my medication. Before I close my eyes for the final time tonight I call my friend and ask him what time I should arrive at the course on Sunday morning.
