Day 196: Je suis malade...

[nagi_schwarz]

That's right. Am sick again. In a whole new way. We went out to the movies last night to see the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Most of the scary parts were already seen in the trailers, but it had its startle/shock-value moments. I ended up huddling against BenTen near the end there. It had me more or less freaked out, but once we got home and Del looked up the actual story (which took place in Germany) and were even less freaked out. Josh has been having a horrible time with his roommate and was considering sleeping in his car, so he left us after the movie. Sierra, Del and I ended up in Del's room being English nerds together. I had the scary thought paper to write (although after talking to Professor Petersen I felt much better about it) and Del had homework, so we all camped out in her room and worked. It took me a while to hand-write the paper, but I had lain in bed earlier in the day, staring at the wall for two hours until I understood something I had read so I could actually write the paper. I still think it came out a little incoherently, but hey, poststructuralism and deconstruction are serious mind-benders. I had a horrible sore throat and runny nose the night before, and when I woke up this morning I felt particularly horrible, with a headache on top of all the other symptoms. I went to American Lit anyway and managed to make a decent presentation, as well as speak up in class. Rodney didn't show up and missed what may be the only real textual analysis we do in that class. I could have won one of my sodas back from Del, too. I ended up skipping Continental Lit because I felt horrible and had no reason to go there, really - no papers to turn in, no presentations to make - and ended up hanging out with Marty and one of his random friends. I typed up the paper for Petersen and then went to lunch. Aton saw me there and commented that I didn't look very sick, but all I could eat was bread because I had upchucked my breakfast before my first class. I made it through my last class with a very fuzzy head and turned my paper in. I called Mom once I got back to my room, and she worried over me for a bit (I love her to death) and then I took a nap. We went to dinner, at which point I discovered that Josh had driven home to Moab at around 2 AM. Fed up, Seirra said. He'll be back Saturday or Sunday. Like the crazy tomboy I am, full of false male bravado, I ended up playing DDR for several hours. I ran into Chibi Scott at lunch - and we talked until my last class - and decided that he ought to show a certain someone up, so we made arrangements to play, and then I ran into Michelle (from W@W my junior year of high school) so we agreed to get together and play. Lots of people stopped by and watched, including the other Yuichi and blond fellow from hell floor named Troy. We convinced from strangers to play. There was one boy named Ron who sat and watched for a while. Next time we ought to talk to him more. Once my head got too sore - that migraine stuff wears off really fast - we stopped playing so we girls could take BenTen to work. Well, Del drove, and the rest of us tagged along so we could see where it was in case of emergencies. We made plans to go out to breakfast together as well. We sang along to Isabelle Boulay - I gave Erin a copy of that CD - and Del got food.

A good night, overall. Now I'm sore but clean and freshly-showered. Lots of homework to look forward to this weekend.

Maybe my head won't explode after all.

Hey girl

could your runny nose, sore throat etc...., be the cause of Allergies? Try a couple days of your allergy medicine and see if it makes a difference. PLEASE!!!!

Hey well, here is to hoping that you start to feel better soon. I really sucks to be sick while your at school. Weirdly enough, I usually get sick only when I go home, but then mom love is always there to take care of me. So anyway, I hope you get better and take care of yourself. Good luck on the homework
