and i'll warn you know: the velocity i'm gathering...

argh, flu! i HATE being sick. i know that makes me, like, totally unique. but being sick for both my first smp crit and my first survey of motherfucking mathematics test is just a big steaming pile of uncool.

the crit actually went way, way better than it could have. i'm actually sort of amazed at how well it went. watch me get shot in the face by lisa's written evaluation, though. the survey test...well, it's in the hands if the fates now, as kathleen would say.

i've been thinking a lot about my mother. she was on bed rest for eight months of her pregnancy with me. she almost died giving birth to me, and so did i. i was three pounds when i was born because i wasn't getting any nutrients and they thought i was going to have severe mental and physical disabilities.

i've been trying to put myself in her shoes, lying there for eight months, not knowing if either of us was going to live. it breaks my heart what she went through for me. i hope i am a good enough daughter to her, and that someday i can repay her for all of that. just something that's been on my mind.

that and nova scotia.
