Had the realization that the only three things I've actually made student health appointments for, other than vaccinations, have been wrist issues, jaw issues, and ear issues, so...I called Student Health today to make an appointment, which is going to be tomorrow. The nice person on the other end of the phone call made it with the sports medicine doctor, so we'll see how that ends up going.

I'm sure Student Health sees stressed out graduate students with RSIs or potential RSIs all the time (and it's probably a relief right now to be like "well, that definitely ain't covid"). I did hear from another grad student a few years ago that the number one reason for grad students to go to Student Health is stress-induced stomach problems, which is generally the one thing I don't have to deal with. Yet.

Also I guess it's early enough in the semester that if we are going to have a ha ha ha ha oh god there are students resident on campus covid outbreak it hasn't started yet, so should probably get this out of the way before it does, if it does. (Classes started last week. We are mostly but not entirely remote; freshmen are on campus, as well as anyone who's required to live on campus for scholarship reasons or other reasons, and in-person classes are for freshmen and anything that can't be done remotely. I've got a friend teaching an in-person class and she's less than thrilled about it.)

I think it's "if I spend over a week wondering if I should go to the doctor I should probably go to the doctor" time, and I try not to fuck around with my wrists because like. I need them.
