My Brain Hurts

anigoWell, made it to work - no gravol on board this morning, so I'm not quite as zoned, but I'm late to work none the less. Not that it matters, as I usually take the first hour to catch up on everything anyway.
I'm thinking, however, that I might just play hookie tonight from school. I think in all my university history I've missed one class, and that was because I had to go to Toronto for work. This is the class that the prof said I didn't have to hand anything else in because I'd already received a 20/20. We'll see.
I've started taking 5-HTP, dunno if anybody's familiar with it or not, but in addition to it's proposed magical properties of helping you get a good night's sleep, helping you handle winter a little better and helping you not feel like a lunatic that needs carbohydrates, it's supposed to help migranes as well - except it may take a couple of days to a few weeks before it's effective.
On first glance it sounded like one of those things that "if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't", but I did a bit of net research and it's all about that seratonin thing. It also came recommended by one of the counsellors here, and I trust him with stuff like that. It doesn't appear to have any side affects other than a bit of tummy upset, so what the hay. Having said that, I must add the disclaimer that - I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANY OF MY LJ FRIENDS. IF YOU TRY IT AND YOU GROW A THIRD HEAD OR SOMETHING, DON'T BE SUING MY ASS. You've been warned.
Ok, off to work.
