I'm not having a great day.

I'm not having a great day.

Made an 87 on my first biology test.  That was WITH being able to use notes for part of it.  Seriously, shoot me now.

Not only that, but here is a thing that's been building for a couple of weeks:  I'm sick.  The sun is trying to kill me.  🙁

Literally - I'm wearing long sleeves and pants, as usual.  I've also been sunblocking my hands and face and neck with SPF 100, but my face and neck are all itching on the left side and my left hand IS BLISTERING UP.  My lips are also slightly sunburned even though I used SPF whatever lip balm.  All of this is from DRIVING and the few minutes it takes me to get from parking lots to inside buildings.  Since I'm going so many places right now I guess it's adding up and I'm not having a chance to feel better before I get more sun.  🙁  I just took some Excedrin Migraine to head off what I have come to know as being sick from too much sun.  I'm itchy, I have a fever and chills, and a terrible headache.  I am miserable and I don't know what to do.

I know this sounds crazy, but just as when I'm around smokers and my face gets itchy I feel that way in the sunlight.  I can feel it on me and trying to get inside me.  I hate it and it makes me want to hide and sometimes I feel like just crying if I can't get away from it.

Shaun bought me gloves last night to drive with and I rode around with my hood on my jacket up today, despite the heat.  I have no A/C in my car (well, I do, but it makes my car run hot and not work, so I can't use it), so that's not super fun.  Shaun mentioned that he saw some cheap window tint at Wal-Mart.  If it blocks UV, I'm buying it.  Aside from that I'm at a loss as to what to do.  I've always been sensitive to the sun, but this is by far the worst I've ever been affected.

If any of you have some clever suggestions as to how I can survive this summer, please tell me what to do.  I know this is probably not normal, but I don't have health insurance anymore, so going to the doctor is not likely going to happen.  Thanks in advance.
