First: WHYY?!?! Couldn't it have waited a week?

Okay, so I haven't seen my boyfriend since the summer and we're going to see each other on Tuesday, but since we're driving a good long ways, we won't get to "see" each other until sometime Wednesday. And my period started just now. Figures.

Recently, my period has typically only lasted about five days, but we're only going to have a very short window before I have to go back to college so I need to be able to make SURE it will be over with my the end of wednesday. Preferably before.

Is there anyway to do that or should I start researching goddesses of health and sex and offering them sacrifices? (JOKING)

Also, while we're talking about periods, screw all this emotional hormonal bullcrap! I want to beat the daylights out of something and sob at the same time. WHY IS THIS A THING?!?
