I appear to have beaten the flu in battle and it has fled like a cowardly dog, leaving only the residue of a sore throat sans phlegm and a sore neck.
In other news, we have our literacy testing today. I think they said something like either 51% or 49% of our juniors last year passed it. I can't imagine why that is. After looking at the practice questions my APLAC teacher keeps giving me, it seems like someone should be able to pass it in their sleep... then again, about half of our school are football players, so that percentage would almost seem to make sense from that point of view.
Heard an interesting thing from a friend who happens to be a friend's girlfriend: "Women don't lie. They fabricate things that they want to be true."
My room is like... 1/4 of the way clean. I started to clean it the same day that I got the flu and just stopped after moving like... three things... climbed into bed and fell into a deep and trouble coma... which I woke up from every 20 minutes... for 14 hours... and then had to go to school the next day...
It's amazing the kinds of things you forget when you're really tired and really sick. For example, here I am lying in my bed at around 9 PM:
"I wish I could fall asleep. Maybe I should go get a drink..."
12 AM:
"Sleeeeeeepppppp...."
2 AM:
"What are all these contraptions (the contraptions were actually places where my blanket had gotten bunched up on my bed) doing? Are they supposed to help me get better? I wish I could get out of bed to get a drink, but I can't remember how to work all these contraptions."
3 AM:
"These contraptions won't let me leave. I'm stuck here. I'm going to dehydrate to death! DAMN FLU!!"
4 AM:
"MUST...GET...DRINK. *flings himself toward the edge of the bed, hits his fan, and knocks his head on the books lying on the floor at the edge of the bed* ...ouch...they were just blankets....?? I feel kind of stupid..."
I want you to notice my progression from a sane person to a slightly misguided person to a complete nut in those time frames. That's what the flu could do to you.
So, thanks a lot to the flu, I am once again going to school on a minimal amount of sleep. Why can't you all be as helpful as the flu? =P
