Ferris Wheel day!

This morning the internet was out so I went back to bed.

This morning the internet was up so I finished my Oulipo essay and read webcomics until classtime. I was feeling lots better, and break time seemed really really close this morning. Oh, I also got another letter from grandma! Two in a row, how about that? That was neat.

I went to class after having more soup for lunch. I forgot every one of the books for class today. Swell. Not a big deal though, I had done the reading and could still contribute. Having coughing fits in the middle of class is getting old though. Anyway, when I got out of class, I felt like time was moving slowly again and that I might never get home... all back to normal. I went to the library to do some reading without distractions because I can never focus on anything in the dorm. Then I decided to go get a panini to take back to the dorm, because i wanted for-real solid food. I decided to forego my previously planned movie night though, because thanks to my suddenly annoyingly changed schedule, I have an early class tomorrow. I'm a bit worried about finding the new classroom and meeting the new teacher and getting my essays sorted out and finding out if i need more books (because the bookstore will probably be out of them at this point). Argh. What an annoyance.

Anyway, back in my room for the night, maybe doing some writing because for some reason I can do that when it's loud... cool.

The end.

sicksicksick

So I woke up today and had a cold sore. What the heck. I thought you were supposed to get those INSTEAD of being sick. It's really really annoying. At least I don't care what anyone thinks of my appearance over here...

Did some more of my essay before class today. Class was Oulipo and it ran half an hour late. We were trying to sort out the kinks in the schedule that the teacher hadn't thought of - and that I pointed out, so I guess it's my own fault. Anyway, this made me rather late for the meeting I was supposed to have with Clare, but that didn't matter since now I'm switching classes... I need to meet with my new tutor though. This school is driving me insane.

I've been eating nothing but soup because swallowing hurts, with the result that I'm really hungry. Tomorrow I plan to get some ice cream... it'll feel really good, and be a bit more filling I think.

Anyway, that's it for today! Just class and a lot of reading. The End.

i smell... tea

Waking up today wasn't good. It was seven AM and my throat felt like it was trying to eat me... a very interesting sensation, but not one I'd care to repeat. I spent a few minutes gurgling at the ceiling, hoping my voice would hear my cries and come out of hiding. No such luck. And I think I confused the poor ceiling. So I went back to sleep. I woke up again much later, stumbled about a bit finding clothes, my voice, and the courage to face the world. Checked my email - then noticed a brightly colored stack of envelopes slid under the door. Real world mail! Yay!

I had gotten a Valentines card from Brady yesterday. Today I got one from my parents and one from grandma, as well as a letter from grandma, so now my desk is very colorful indeed ^.^ The cards are all greatly appreciated - the letter too. I like having tangible contact with the real world... er, that is, America...

So I debated skipping grocery shopping, but I really needed honey for my tea, so I went. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Even though I'm sick, I didn't need a hat or scarf, and I even opened my coat. Grocery shopping was uneventful. I'm annoyed with myself for buying the wrong kind of pads >.< Now I have two packs of useless feminine products. Ok guys... what are some creative uses for these things?

Er, anyway.

Yeah, bought my honey and lots of soup. Went back to the dorm and began work on the essay. But the noise level gradually increased to an intolerable state and I was forced to stop and read webcomics. Drat.

So far I've drunk three cups of tea, alternating with cough drops. Seems to be the only thing that keeps me from coughing.

Anyway, I'm in the mood for angsty drama now, which is annoying. I need junk food lit : P To the internets!

today is monday...

I woke up today feeling much sicker than yesterday. Bad sore throat... I went to class anyway. In Myth lecture we watched a French version of Orpheus that was actually really interesting... Orpheus falls in love with Death and Charon falls for Eurydice... all around good times. You know what's a great idea? Classics fan fiction. Oh yes.

Versions of Modernity was not nearly as entertaining. The lecturer called off so we had a sub. It really gets to me how teachers can be sick whenever they want but students aren't allowed. whatever.

After class I went to see Hazel about my shiny new course conflict. I am now enrolled in a different V of M seminar, with a different teacher, different students, and, knowing my luck, a different set of books to buy. Great.

Then I went home and slept til three. Woke up feeling not much better and spent the rest of the day doing things that did not involve leaving the bed - except that i did go out to buy some instant soup that turned out to be half decent, and some tea. Don't have any honey though - tomorrow I want to go grocery shopping, but we'll see how I feel in the morning.

Yeah, that's it for today. Absolutely nothing productive... meh, I'm ok with that.
