I no longer feel feverish, but it's been replaced by a really bad cough. My throat isn't really sore anymore (though I'm not sure if that's the medicine or not), but I still have no voice. In fact, my voice has gone downhill. I'm forced to whisper which is technically WORSE for my vocal chords. Blah. Here's hoping my doc can figure out what this is and a way to get my voice back faster than "Vocal Rest." I fully understand the term, but my parents do not. I really don't want to think what's going to happen this weekend if I have no voice...I'm a bloody gypsy, I HAVE to use my voice! Parade will suck if we're missing Anja and Natalya and I have no voice...[kicks self]
On the brighter side of life, Wes is bringing my computer by today. He decided to commandeer it so he could put in a new fan and some extra RAM. I love him for it. He also wanted to come and take care of me, but recently has not been good--I've been sleeping most of the day, so what's the point, right?
I've got plans with sierra_omega once I kick this thing, Tina's in Mexico on her mission trip, and irishchild81 and I have yet to get together (it would have been this week, but obviously this is a no go at the moment). My grandparents come in next Sunday (yay! ^_^) and my little brother graduates next Tuesday ([sniffle, tear]). I am so proud of him...it's gonna be hard coming to visit and finding him gone. Then again, I don't know how much I'll be visiting next year.
My goal for next school year: get independent. I'm seriously thinking of waitressing. It's good money, it's mobile work (I hate the idea of a sedentary position), and I can transfer from Plano to Denton very easily and work with the same company (well...assuming I find a restaurant chain that corresponds). I think I can be a people person. After bad patron lab I think I might be able to handle just about anything! ^_^
