September 13th. Tuesday.

Well, my headache hasn't let up, and it made sure of letting me know that today. My head was throbbing all day today. I almost skipped classes today, but I decided to go anyway. It's hard to think straight when it feels like someone is slamming a hammer against my head every second, though. :/ I'll have my brother pick up some meds when he goes to the store tomorrow, because I'm probably skipping class tomorrow if this gets worse. My paranoia's only increased. I'm starting to feel like the subject of "Papercut".

Well, I'm not going to be around here for long, aaaaand there's no illustration today. I'm only writing a journal entry because I noticed something weird while riding on the elevator today.

Now, I've never trusted this elevator, ever since I first set foot onto it a month ago. It creaks, it groans, it shudders when it opens. Sometimes it has electrical issues that affect the doors. But today it had a different sound to it. At first I thought it was extra-creaky, but I thought the sound was not mechanical. It sounded like... a dog's nails clipping on a hardwood floor, only faster, like skittering. Not to mention the skittering noise continued after the elevator had stopped. Later I heard a few other students talking about hearing similar noises, so I know it's not just me.

It's probably rats, but they've got to be some huge rats to be making noises that loud.
