ew, i think i just almost vomited.
this morning was awful, including almost-missing-the-bus, forgetting-absences-excuse, and teachers nearly snapping my head off. but i was well-rested and awake all day, even if my ears still felt clogged (though i still don't know why) and my head was all light and fuzzy. and staying after for the scribe was mostly painless. i really should be in bed, though, or i'm going to be ill tomorrow... bleh. hopefully my voice clears up so i can actually sing in choir and not squeak and rasp like toady.
today. i meant today.
i'm planning on visiting the library sometime this week to check out a nice stack of books to read over spring break. i already have pride and prejudice to read for english, and i'm planning on getting osc's xenocide as well as a little princess and something charles dickens because i've been meaning to start reading his novels forever. does anyone else have any recommendations?
and also, because i am a loser, i'm hopping on THE SURVEY BANDWAGON OMG.
