OWOWOWOWOOOOWW!!

I had my third HPV jab today. You know, because all girls are getting the vaccine against the human papillomae virus. The last two were in like December and something-or-other; I can't actually remember. My life is a blur. But yeah, today I had my third and last one, along with most of the other girls in my year. We all went into the Main Hall at school this morning - Alix wasn't bothered (I think she's a bit wierd - she says that the injections feel nice 0_O) I was fine too - just hyperventilating quietly in the corner with Sana and Keiley. They sent girls behind these wierd wooly screen things to get it done, but they weren't too good - gave you a nice little slit to see the whimpering masks of pain on the girls being injected. I was pretty much ok until about two minutes before I went through to get the injection (I've told you before about my feelings on meing stabbed by the people of medicine) when I completely broke down and started bawling my eyes out. I'm not ashamed to admit it - when other people are being jabbed, I'm fine, but use a needle on me and I'll definitely not be happy. I went through and sat down on a chair. This nurse started asking what I had for breakfast, and I was just thinking,
"I do have my eyes shut, and you are trying to distract me but I will definitely not forget what's happening here." She stuck the needle in, I squeaked a bit and then I was fine. They gave me some orange juice, but because I was still kind of crying, I spat it out all over my pants. There was a benifit to my being high maintenance - not only did I get a little cuddly toy (Crinchley the Witch Duck is his name) like all the other girls, but I got two biscuits, when everyone else got one. My arm was pretty much ok after that, except that I can't move it now, so I'm doing absolutely everything with my left hand. Actually, it's kinda killing me now. I should stop.
