So far, this week has sucked, and it's only Monday. It does not bode well for the rest of this week, and I might just decide to skip it altogether. In case anyone was wondering what I was on Sunday (apparently I caused a bit of consternation), I was getting sick. Apparently I caught what the first years had (among other things, which aren't that important, so don't worry much about it) and guess who's apparently allergic to the cure? In one. However, it turns out that I'm not allergic to the potion that ensures that Susan doesn't get sick, but there's one very serious problem with it. It's completely unpalatable. Apparently watching me try not to immediately throw it back up is amusing, according to that mirror of ours. I currently hate her.
In fact, I currently hate the world in general, because it's far too bright and noisy. But it's reasonably sensical at the moment and having argued, demanded, and pleaded with Professor Sprout, I've been allowed this back for a short time. I feel that I have accomplished something. Even if it wasn't my homework. What can I say? I'm feeling decidedly uncharitable and feel like sharing it with the world in general. That, and the fact that Aury's got this very...interesting burn on her hand, and if anyone would like to make her go and get it looked at, greatly appreciated, thanks. I meant to do it this morning, after breakfast (I saw her beforehand and meant to say something to her about something entirely unrelated to her hand, and promptly forgot it), but Hannah made me come back up here. Ernie helped. Whyever did my house prefects decide to be prefect-y now?
I know I sound like a petulant child, but I think I'm entitled. A few hours ago, I had a fever of over 38 degrees. There was even talk of making me go into the infirmary, but I refused, on grounds that seeing all those people who are asleep and aren't ever going to wake up about to wake up and knowing that would not help matters. It's really very creepy, because they look fine, they're just asleep, and you know that, and you know that they've been asleep for days and days.
Before I become more the petulant, grizzly child that I suspect being sick makes me, I'm going to wrap it up here. Although, I must say, when you're sick, you have the most peculiar dreams. Really peculiar (and I seem to like that word) and remarkably vivid. Although rather lacking in the sense department. And my jaw aches.
Right, definitely wrapping it up here.
