Why, hello there. It's been a while, hasn't it? Since February 11th, I've worked 87 hours, been at school 24 hours, done homework about 15 hours, and slept about 72 hours. That's 199 hours. From the 11th to 23rd is 288 hours. Seventy percent of my time since the eleventh has not been my own. It's taken its toll on me. After surviving three months surrounded by sick people without a scratch, stress, lack of sleep, and my newly reversed schedule has rendered me defenseless to pathogens. I feel like shit. I miss seeing everyone. I miss getting called. I haven't talked to Louise to thank her for the letter she mailed me. I haven't talked to Karen to tell her happy birthday. The best I could do was leave a message on phone and hope she got it, which she usually doesn't. This is the price I pay to be able to support myself. Funny how the only thing that makes me happy is most of the reason why I have to work so much. That sounds bad, that I need material posessions to be happy. But when you don't see your friends anymore, what else is there? I did it to myself, I guess. So yeah I just wanted to let you guys know that I miss you. Time to study for another test.
