being sick for profit

yes, i have swine flu. or rather, "influenza-like symptoms". fml.

but this really isn't as bad as it sounds. for one thing, i get to put off taking my Polisci midterm! I also get to skip the horrible-sounding Lit Hum oral quiz tomorrow! :D

(about Lit Hum, I had a horrible, so awfully realistic nightmare last night in which my preceptor sent me an e-mail which should have contained my grade for the paper I magically finished in 6 hours, but instead had a long, cold, hurtful letter about how one of my classmates had enlightened him to the existence of this very blog and he had read it and gotten extremely offended about posts i had supposedly written about him and my classmates. so he told me that i could decide whether he should put up the link to my blog on our class Wikispace for everyone to see. and then he ended by saying he was giving me an F for class participation for being late to every single class and lying about why i had missed class. and then i walked into my Lit Hum classroom and everyone looked at me like i was such a horrible person. :cccccccccccccc)

obviously lit hum is horrid and getting to me in ways it shouldn't

Also, I feel like kicking myself for not going to Health Services earlier. the last time i was sick (only about a month ago) i actually stayed sick a whole week self-medicating because i didn't have my medical insurance card yet and i was a bit intimidated at having to go through the entire claims process in my weakened state. as it turns out, I didn't have to pay a single cent today because everything was done in-house - they even gave me a bottle of Gatorade, a whole bunch of Tylenol and lozenges just because I asked. and my adviser e-mailed all my teachers to tell them I'm not expected to go for class or take any exams (which makes it so much more legit), AND Dining Services will be coming to deliver food to my room twice a day. this would have been so helpful the first time i was sick, when i had to constantly run across campus to Lerner to buy myself soup :(((((

meh. yesterday, when I should have been studying for my midterm, I busied myself customizing my Adium (MSN for Macs) instead. take a gander :D

love it? :D

fall break and halloween are only a few days away, and i'm sick in my room with swine flu. :( I guess this does alleviate the stress over whether I should be going out and dressing up though. sigh. not that i have anyone to dress up with. :( looooooooonely.

no school till a week from now seems like such bliss ♥ if i just ignore all the work i'll need to catch up on..................................k i'm going to play my nintendo DS nao. :D (ignorance is everything)
