Too sick to leave,
11/01/2005 06:17 p.m.
too bored to study.

So there are three main choices, mono, strep, or a persistent case of the flu. The doc thinks mono though I've got no swelling. How often do you *hope* you have the flu? This semester needs to be over now. I'm drifting through it, and it was alright at first, but it's led me to be melancholy lately. I don't do well with melancholy. My GPA will suffer this term pretty heavily, but I'll live through it. I always manage to.

I'm going to do more stream of consciousness type prose. I've missed it.

I'm also going to shamelessly steal this from Alaina Schneider.
