I really wanted to go swimming in the morning, but I'm sick. Not majorly, but I've had a sore throat and headache since mid-afternoon, and have been pretty tired. I think I've been a little under the weather since Friday, but the lack of sleep last night got to me. I'm glad I didn't try to go to the gym today, after all ( Read more... )

I've finally decided to give away some books in order to make more room in my bookshelves. I thought I was totally fine with this decision, and ready to give up some of these books. But putting my Harry Potter books in a bag today filled me with nostalgia. I found myself thinking, what if I want to skim through them again someday ( Read more... )

I finally got the copy of The Canterbury Tales that I ordered for next semester. I'm waiting on one more book to be delivered, and next week I'm going downtown to buy a couple others.

It looks like my linguistics class might not have a textbook assigned. I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I'm not going to complain about spending ( Read more... )

I've been sick with this ridiculous cough/sore throat/laryngitis/congestion horror since Sunday, and it feels like it's taking forever to get over it. I'll feel like I might be getting better, but then it's a very two steps forward, one step back sort of getting better ( Read more... )

Almost every semester, it turns out that the class I was looking forward to the least ends up being my favorite, and the one I was most looking forward to is the one I'm most "meh" about. I suppose I can think of some logical reasons for this, like maybe I have unrealistic expectations for the classes I really look forward to, and very low ( Read more... )

I'm sick. Not horrible-horrible or anything. Just a nasty cold. I started feeling like I was on the verge of it on Monday last week, and I think fatigue just wore me down. That, or I've caught something else. In any case, I started feeling really bad on Saturday night.

It could be worse, in that I least I can breathe for the most part. But I just ( Read more... )

I've actually, officially started school now. It's going all right so far, though I don't think I have a realistic idea of the amount of work involved yet, as we have no homework assigned yet except for some reading. The reading's going well enough ( Read more... )

I got some of my textbooks, though two still haven't come in yet. Now I have to decide if I want to wait until next week (which is when classes start) to get them from the school bookstore, or if I should order them elsewhere to be safe. I'm leaning toward the former. Of the books I got, I got all but one of them used, a decision I feel pretty good ( Read more... )

I shouldn't complain, but it's been kind of a weird day. My computer seems to be doing all right at the moment, but LJ looks all weird in Chrome ( Read more... )
