mixed emotions...
so i am feeling about 80 million times better than i was feeling last week at this time. i am still feeling a little groggy and sleepy, but my sore throat is almost entirely gone and my lymph nodes are almost back to normal. i attribute it to good old genna and her herbal remedies. i have been taking overdoses of vitamin c, eldeberry extract, zinc, and echenaesia. those along with a steady diet of popsicles, applesauce, pudding, and slippery elm root tea have gotten me back on my feet much quicker than i ever expected.
i am having mixed feelings about the end of the year. i think this may be my best semester yet grade wise, but i am not quite done yet. i still have two finals and a paper to write. i think i made the right choice about rescheduling them though. i think that along with all the vitamins and whatnot, laying low has really been key in making me feel better so quickly. even without taking those two exams, i was still stressed, so i cant imagine what it would have been like if i would have had to take all of them while sick.
other than school-wise, i am really sad to be leaving my roommates and friends. there are some people who i havent even really gotten a chance to say goodbye to, and i dont think that i will get to see them before i go. maybe i will go hang out down on campus tomorrow for a while and see how many people i can run into. the thing about leaving now is that its not just for the summer; i will be going to england next year and wont get to see anyone at all! i am going to have to come up and hang out a bunch this summer, its already been decided.
i packed up about 75% of my stuff tonight, all thats left is my stuff in the kitchen and then my clothes (which are going to go into the garbage bags that my dad is bringing up. moving off campus has always been bittersweet to me, but this time it just seems bitter. i mean, yeah it has kind of sucked living on campus with the loud freshmen in the building next door, and not being able to drink even though i am 21, and sharing a bedroom, and living with a tyrant, but i have had so many good times with my roommates and everyone here that they cancel out any possible negatives. plus, i am not looking forward to a long summer of getting up early and working overtime. i know that in the long run it will pay off (ie i will have money to spend in europe), and while it should, that thought doesnt make it any more bearable at the time.
i am putting off going to sleep right now, and its entirely unreasonable. my logic is that the sooner i go to sleep, the sooner i will wake up and have to leave, and i really dont want to. dumb, i know. but i have to wake up early in the morning to do katies hair, sell a book, call a professor, load my car and say "see ya later" to jay (not necessarily in that order). so i should get some sleep. meh...
