I'm coming down with something.  I've been sleeping pretty much every moment that I'm not in class.  I'm only up now because I'm trying to convince myself to do some homework.

Our school announced their swine flu contingency plan.  We have an empty dorm that's set to be demolished at the end of the year.  They stocked it with food and are going to ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned that I hate packing?  Because I really hate packing.  I am incapable of packing light.  My brother is outfitting an entire apartment, furniture included, and I've nearly caught up to him in square feet of stuff that needs transported.  He keeps telling me what to toss and I'm all "But... but... no!  I need it ( Read more... )

I'm taking today off from homework.  I shouldn't but I really need a break.  I know I'm always whining about my health, but I've had a headache for ten days straight (at least three of which were nausea-inducing, aura-causing migraines), my hands hurt (I know, get off the computer), and I've got some sort of cold which makes me sneeze a lot and ( Read more... )

Today I was walking to class and saw a little red sign with DANGER written on top. This was near a construction site, so I was thinking there were exposed wires or something. I got a little closer, and am very sadface that I didn't have time to take a picture, because this is what it said:

"Velociraptors can accelerate 4 m/s2, with a top speed of ( Read more... )

Ugh, I don't feel well.  Rachel got me sick ( Read more... )

I made a Facebook profile for the protagonist of my short story as a joke, because the fiction writing professor is obsessed with Facebook.  I sent it to him last night, and this morning he sent me an e-mail full of exclamation points and said I was getting extra credit for it.

I got extra credit for messing around on Facebook.  I am never doing ( Read more... )

Still want to poke my eye out.  I got a big black spot in my peripheral vision last night and freaked the hell out, but it went away after a few minutes.  I guess it could have been an afterimage, even though I don't remember staring into any light, but I couldn't see through it at all.  I really, really don't want to go the the ER for something ( Read more... )

I think I've burnt myself out on this paper.  I have two hours left to work on it and I just can't make myself care any more.  I have exactly four pages, so if I force another page or two out I think it will be an acceptable length for a first draft (the final should be eight).  I've already done a vinegar-cloth headache treatment this morning and ( Read more... )

Huh.  I'm pretty sure this sinus headache has upgraded into a migraine.  After three years of college, I'm noticing a pattern: When I stress out, I will get sick.  At the worst possible time.

I need an eight page draft on Blake's views on religion shown in The Songs of Innocence and Experience done by noon tomorrow.  I have a page and a sentence.

I am procrastinating so hard right now.  I just can't even stand to think about picking up a book after yesterday (I had a take-home exam, 15-minute presentation, and a short story due all at once).

Yesterday did tell me that my meds are working.  I didn't freak out once.  I even slept through the night.  It was amazing.  I went and did an ( Read more... )
