I Hate Being Sick

I mean really, is there anything in the world worse than being sick? Especially that kind of sick where you can't really legitimately skip class or work, since you're not that sick, but you're just sick enough to make your life completely miserable. That's been my week thus far. And it's that great kind of sick where you're just completely dazed and in a fog all the time. Gotta love that. Class is really fun when you can't focus on anything for more than a couple of seconds. And work has been even better. I'll be working on a project and then just completely lose my train of thought. Or have problems that I should easily be able to fix but don't even know where to start. Not to mention, this is how things are today, when I feel the best I have all week. Oh well, I should feel better soon. The doctor told me it was some kind of viral infection that should run its course in a couple days. I hope he's right because I am tired of this.

On a brighter note, I met with my advisor yesterday to talk about classes for next semester. Of course, once again, this was made more difficult by my current condition, but I think I survived it. At the moment, the plan is to take two English courses, one French course, a history course, and some kind of easy science course to (finally) finish off my gen-ed requirements. I have decided (at least for the moment) to minor in French. If anything, doing so will force me to stay competent in the language, and I might lose my ability otherwise through not using it. Plus, literature's my thing, and taking French courses at the college level is pretty much like taking English lit courses in a different language, so I think I can survive the four classes or so necessary for the minor. Wish me luck. Next semester is going to be interesting. It should be easier in some ways, in that I'll be more into the rhythm of being in school, but it will be more difficult since, if my plans stay the same, four of my five classes will be 300-level classes. I've only taken one 300-level course in my college career thus far. I know I'm ready, but it should just be a large jump in the amount of work. Well, I guess at least that will give me an excuse for my lack of a social life. Hopefully the next time you hear from me I will be completely conscious.
