it's around 11 AM on tuesday and i don't feel like going back to bed. i feel a shitload better than i did yesterday... i didn't feel great until i went to the gym, and afterwards i felt AWESOME. its amazing what a little exercise can do to a lingering sickness. personally, i didn't know that it would help at all really, if not make things worse, but i went anyway and it turned out to be waaay more of a positive than a negative. word of advice: if you aren't feeling great, get out and do some light exercise; get the blood pumping and your lungs breathing some fresh air opposed to sitting inside and festering in your own sickness. you'll feel better.
on another note, it's after thanksgiving, meaning it's CHRISTMAS TIME! when i went home for the 5 days we had off back in november, my mom asked me what i would think if we didn't have a christmas tree this year. i was shocked beyond belief to hear this, especially from my mother, being the modern day catholic martyr that she is. i bugged out on her about it and she told me the only reason she wouldn't want to is because there wouldn't be anyone there to put it up, since my dad moved out back at the end of august after i left for school. i told her i'll do it myself if that's what it takes. how the hell could we not have a tree!?!? this is the best time of the year, and for the month i'm home i want it to feel like christmas, not just some random break.
i haven't seen my roomates in like 5 days. i live in a quad, but this semester i've pretty much had it to myself all the time because my 3 roomates are all pledging delta sig, a frat up here. i love those kids, it's gonna be sick as hell when they're done with pledging. during hell week which is right now, they aren't allowed to be in the dorms because that means they could sleep, and that's against the rules. who knows what the hell they make them do. a lot of people say that they see me as a frat kind of guy in some ways, but personally, after seeing the shit my roomates had to do, i don't think i'd ever pledge haha.
last night abe, becca, becky, jack, marcus and i claimed we were going to stay up all night. by about 2 am we realized that we were really fucking bored, after playing war for like an hour without anything else to do (i am the war champion of the world, 3-0 baby) abe bitched out and went to sleep, so everyone else did the same. who knows what we're doing today, i don't have class at all so we'll see what comes around. going to the gym at around 2. im coming home in 10 days!
