So, when I woke up I wasn't feeling too shabby, but then I started coughing and couldn't really stop. It hurt, but I bucked up and went to school. Then during third hour, I felt really cold, and my head felt like it was getting squished, and my chest hurt because I was coughing. So I went to the attendance office and signed myself out, and went to wait by the circle drive for my mother to come pick me up. She finally comes to pick me up after FIFTH HOUR. When I'd normally be in lunch. What the hell. Anyway, I got home OK and dozed off next to the fireplace with Oscar. Aww, he was so cute. Yesterday, I don't really know why, but I picked up my little journal and started writing a story. I'm sure it's not very good, but it was nice to let some of my feelings out. Here's a little excerpt. Prepare for crappiness:
"Oh, sorry, I got sort of side tracked. That hapens to me sometimes. Like, this morning I was in the shower, and I was thinking about all the water shooting through the shower head, and it reminded me of a waterfall. But waterfalls erode away the rock that they pour over. What happens if we stay under the shower head too long? Does it wash away all our dead cells until there are none left? Then does it start taking away the live ones? Maybe if we're underneath long enough there won't be anything left. And what happens if it's raining outside, and it doesn't stop? Does the whole world just get washed away into a big pool of rain? That doesn't seem quite fair. All of the little parts that make everything up, those atoms, those molecules, those cells, have got to go somewhere. At that point I turned off the water, and just stood there, water dripping from my nose, my chin, my hands, taking all of my little cells away with each drop. Spalsh, there goes a bit of me. Drip, there goes some more. I'll miss all those little cells that used to be part of me, but now I'll never et them back."
