I had another dizzy spell this morning. It was at work, but with how not busy we were there weren't any issues. Only four days since my last one though. I hope they're not becoming more common again. I'll have to mention this with Dr. Laurie when he gets back to me about my results.

Missing persons cases and the news stories surrounding them have been everywhere today. I don't think I could have avoided them if I'd wanted to. But it's like people have been taking it to heart, the museum felt like a ghost town today. They even offered to let me go home early, since I'd had the attack I took em up on it.

Let's see, there've been multiple boats in the Gulf of Mexico that have failed to return to dock as planned over the last two weeks. Coast guard hasn't found any evidence of wreckage, or adrift vessels. There's a lot of space out there, but for as many have gone missing it's hard to believe nothing has been found for any of them.

Also ships failing to return to dock along the south western coast. Mostly small craft, but one container ship is also listed as missing.

Up in Canada they've also started noticing a similar trend. People out camping in the unseasonably warm weather. Some scientists failed to check in and when a search party was sent to their base of operations it was found abandoned. No sign of what happened to the scientists.

Missing people all across the US, even into the pan handle of Florida. There was even a report out of Juno, Alaska.

News agencies suspect there's been a similar trend down in Mexico, but it's hard to filter out these cases when there were already a lot of cases of missing persons. But they have noticed that there's been an increased stress between suspected criminal organizations. If they're missing people, they might be getting paranoid.

So yea, things have just been getting insane, and I was happy to retreat to Hal's place. I did text him asking if I could come over early since I was out of work. I knew he'd be in class, and he offered that I could sit in and take part. But I didn't feel comfortable with that in the middle of a lecture. So when I was close, I texted him and he meet me outside to give me his key.

Conscious of his roommate, I knocked first just so that I wasn't walking in on him. But since there was no answer I let myself in and made myself comfortable. I didn't think anything of it, and Hal gave me permission. But when his roommate came home, he hit the roof finding me there. I don't know what his issue is, but he called me every nasty name he could think of. I still have some of those words ringing in my ears. And I've had people be mean to me, use my ethnicity against me, or my gender. This was something else. He called on those aspects, but there was something personal about it, like I was invading his personal space or something. And the guy's twice my size easily, everything about him was aggressive. I don't think I've ever been as scared as I was today.

I was out that door as soon as I could, which wasn't soon enough. When he started he was blocking the entrance and I had nowhere to go. I tried to retreat to Hal's room but he made to cut me off. It gave me the opening I needed and I shot out that door like there was no tomorrow.

I was in tears when Hal found me sitting outside his classroom. And someone must've called campus security because while Hal was trying to comfort me they pushed their way in between us, as if Hal was who I needed protection from.

When things finally calmed down and they let Hal come to me, we made a formal report of what happened. Hal said he would do everything he could to have his roommate reassigned, and if not he'd happily start looking for somewhere else to go. Either way, as long as his roommate is there, I don't want to go anywhere near him.

Instead we called up Max and invited her to dinner with us. Once she heard what had happened, she dropped everything.

Just thinking over it, I'm shaking. And some of his insults didn't even make sense. Not that they need to, but towelhead?!? I mean seriously.

I've gone over it enough between security, and Hal, and Max. I just wish Hal was here. I'm worried what Hal might do, or what Simon might do. Hal said Simon was usually pretty calm and nice, and he'd never said anything about me. At least, not me specifically, he did seem pretty concerned about Hal having sex outside of marriage. As if that's any of his business. Though that might explain the succubus and temptress words that were hurled my way.

Hal didn't want to stay at his place tonight either. But he couldn't stay here, of course, so he's spending the night with his parents. It's so far out of his way though that I won't see him tomorrow morning.

Enough, I've wrote it down. Now it can get out of my head and maybe get some sleep.
