My Ears are Getting Hotter By the Second

Yea, I know…the title is pretty dumb, but it’s the only quasi-random thing that I could think of for the time being. It is true though—my ears are hot, and they are getting hotter exponentially in relation to time. The reason I believe is that I’m sick. It’s quite interesting though, for it’s not like a cold/flu sick, it’s more like I have no energy, and I feel sluggish, but I think I have a slight fever.

Today was my registration day…(6:00 a.m) to be exact, and when I woke up, I felt like a sick person would. (yea, so descriptive, I know). My head was all in a flurry, and it took me numerous tries to get out of bed. Definitely not salubrious. So, I registered, but it turns out that most of the classes I wanted (read as “needed”) were all taken, so that just started my day perfectly. I tried to get ahold of my advisor about 7 times today. No luck. I guess I’ll just stop by his office and make him put me in my classes. (YAY for only having 4 hours). I fell asleep before my 11:30 class, which by the way I NEVER do. I just couldn’t stay awake. I blame it on my sickness. So, I went to class and such, and that was good. Here I am now, and I have a calculus test tomorrow. Yuck. I don’t feel like studying one bit. I’m getting to the point now where I feel I am a robot, and I am programmed to study and do work endlessly. But that’s usually what I feel like when I have 4 tests and projects due in one week.

On the good news though, this weekend totally rocked. It started Thursday when I joined my friend who has the pseudonym of “Captain Badass” for dinner. It was delightfully enjoyable. I watched some “South Park” episodes with him. Then, “Madd Hott” (another one of my friends) called, and they were going to go to a party and wanted to know if I wanted to go. I just really wasn’t in the mood. I got a flower from some random guy on my way back from his dorm, and it smelled really good, but I still don’t why flowers are so special as a sign of affection. I mean, they are pretty and all, but they are done way too much. Too much money. Too unoriginal.

Friday, I went to lunch with Beth, and then I headed to the Science Olympiad tournament so that I could see my old high school competing in it. (yea, I am a nerd, but I don’t really care because I had fun). I went and had fun with them, which consisted of Freebirds and bowling. Then, it was one of my friend’s b-days so we went to the movies at around 12 am. Got back to the room at about 3 am. On Saturday, I was studying all day for my calculus test, but then I went to Chili’s to meet some people there. I also attended the Science Olympiad award ceremony. Katy High School got 3rd out of 35 teams—same as last year, except we were only 9 points away from 2nd. The gap is closing in! Then, I got back,and Kelly and I went to Walmart and King Dollar, the best place to shop in College Station. By that time, I was really tired, just like I am now.

P.S. My grammar sucks right now, so please forgive me. I could be didactic and everything, but eh, I write what comes out of my head.

If you're sick, you know the best thing is rest, so dial it back for a few days and give your body a chance. You gotta take care of yourself! We missed you on Saturday, so you have to do well on your calculus test now. Sounds like a fun weekend though, and I bet the people on the Katy team were glad to see you there.

Honey, slow down a bit....sounds like you're living "burning the candle at both ends." Who's the guy who gave you a flower?
