Staying Home Sick

Well, no one can say I didn't try.

I drank plenty of water, got more than enough vitamin C, made sure to get a decent night of sleep, and somehow the cold still got the best of me. This morning I woke up for my 9:00 AM class and immediately decided that I was not going to class today. My head was pounding, my sinuses were clogged, and I was really sore.

It's been a few hours and I've gotten plenty more sleep. My headache has subsided to a dull murmur and I'm significantly less sore. My sinuses are still pretty rough, but they're starting to clear.

In the meantime, I've spent my day contacting my professors, watching Doctor Who, and drinking large quantities of chamomile. That stuff works wonders, I tell you. The tea is nice too.

After the ridiculous stress of this week it's honestly nice to have a day entirely to myself. Solitude is a blessing in a world where you never know when thirty people are going to invade the room next door. It gives me a chance to recharge that even the weekend can't provide. I've actually completed a lot of tasks, and now I can rest and relax.

Tomorrow is laundry day. I've put it off for far too long.

I really don't have much else to say. It's been an uneventful day. Here, have a song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Bu0Vb8Glw

So much chill.

That's all I got.

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.
