So I've been really fucking sick the past couple of days
If I haven't talked to some of you that's because I've been in and out of consciousness, trying to read and prepare for finals while seeking treatment for some major illness. Turns out it's probably Strep Throat, which makes me glad, really. The only other alternatives as to what it could be were much worse... I'm astounded that I got sick- I never get sick. It makes me feel indignant, really. One professor was really nice and was like "you know what Will, you've been a good student- just stay home, e-mail me your paper and skip the final- I'll average your other two test grades and make that your grade for the final". Recently I had talked to some people about how I was actually doing too much work for my classes, but turns out (in this one case) it really paid off in the end.
On a similar note, turns out I have a man-crush on my other professor, the one that I hated so much before and called a pinche cabrón hijo de puta puñatero- yeah. I say man-crush because, and I swear I'm being honest on this point, there's just no way to find him sexually attractive, thank goodness. There's nothing sexual about the infatuation, I just think he's super cool and I know it's sad but I'm just going to be honest and admit it so I can get it out of the way and move on- a small part of my self worth hinges on his opinion of me as a student. I would really like to propose an independant conference course with him this fall, but if he rejects my non-sexual advance I'll just have to take it in stride. There's plenty of cool professors here, plenty of options... it's fine... really.
