I haven't blogged in a little while, not because there has been nothing to blog about but because I've been bogged down with school work, meetings, club work, etc. The only reason I am able to blog today is because I have the flu, and I'm spending the day in bed with my laptop, my cell phone and my television. The last time I had the flu I was nine years old, it was the winter after my father died and all I remember was laying down on the couch and not being able to get back up for a week.
Yesterday morning I woke up to a snow day, and an illness. All day I was mopey and headachey and then just achey and tired. I came back to my dorm after dinner and did homework, and then Hillary came over when I was finished and rubbed my back and told me that I was on fire, even though I was absolutely freezing. I've never experienced such chills before in my life. So my roommate and Hillary put me under the covers and stocked the fridge with water and made sure I had water and tissues next to me. Al gave me her flannel blanket for my feet and Hillary got me nyquil and sudafed (for the morning) and I conked out sometime around 11. I've never had nyquil before and it was a very trippy experience. It might have been interacting strangely with the other medicine I take for asthma and allergies, or I might have just been tripping out on nyquil in a flu induced delirium.
Lacrosse was supposed to start last night but as a result of the weather the kick off was postponed until tonight. I wouldn't have been able to play yesterday, and I certainly won't be able to play today. I can barely walk, much less run or hold a lacrosse stick.
School has been going well, other than this recent illness. I dropped psychopathology, which has already made my life much easier and my time much more manageable. It seemed like it would be a great class, but I can take it at some other point and I really need to not go insane this semester.
I recently got the paperwork and I am applying to study abroad in London fall semester '09. I'm very excited and hope that I get to go.
I'm a little too under the weather right now to add much more, but I do hope that all is well with everyone reading this and I'll try to get back on a regular blogging schedule as soon as I can. Times are chaotic right now because the semester just began and I haven't quite gotten back into the swing of things (and I lead a somewhat crazy life) but I'll be back for good eventually.
