SCAD Finally Comes Through for Once!

So I found out last night that my roommate is sick, and has been extremely sick for the last couple weeks now. She's missed classes and mid term week, and just everything. Its been just as grueling for her as it has been for me, and I've just been trying to figure out what was wrong with her! But that's a whole other story in and of itself. Lol

So anyway, I found out she was sick, so I decided to take her to the doctor. However, there was one downfall to that. Everything at SCAD except the supply store, and the cafeteria are closed on weekends. One of the first things I learned at SCAD as a freshman was that you don't get sick at SCAD on the weekend. Otherwise you're just S.O.L.

And I'll admit, I didn't wanna take her to the doc but at the same time I did. I didn't wanna use the gas, I didn't wanna drive HELLA far to the ER, and I didn't wanna go for the thousandth time to the doctor for someone else and wait for hours for a diagnosis that isn't even for me, like I've been doing the last couple of weeks. But on the flipside, my roommate was really sick and I'm not a heartless person, and her being sick was creating a number of issues for the environment we share together. I wanted her to be herself again. The roommate that was chill enough to live with. Be right now... Right now.... WOW. That's all I can say for this blog right now. The details of hell are for another blog. Lol

So, back to the story: (sorry as I tend to ramble a lot. Especially when writing. Lol)

So I resolved to call SCAD and figure out how I can avoid using my gas and all that, but still keep my promise to my roommate and not come off like a selfish person or something. Because that is not who or what I was trying or wanted to be. So after a number of failed calls due to it being a saturday at noon, I finally got directed to SCAD security of all places, who called the RD (resident director) on duty who in turn called me, and got all of our information, and told me she would call a cab, pay for it, and have them take us to UrgentOne, which is a walk-in clinic in connection to SCAD. I was ecstatic! The only thing I would have to do is ride and wait, and then ride again. I could take having to wait, without all the extra stuff, and I didn't mind if it meant that things would get better for everyone involved overall.

I'm just surprised and super happy that for once, SCAD came through for its students. Lol my faith has been restored!

Stay up!
