Sick Sucks

So even though I've been trying to be happy and put a positive spin on things (I did go to the opera on campus last night - about fifty feet from my apartment) I have been sick. Strep throat and all that. Even today I have a 101 degree temperature, despite the fact that I have been on antibiotics for 2 days now. So I am supremely bored, but most of the day I couldn't get off the couch. I tried to get some work down, but my head is so messed up I can't concentrate for very long. I am no longer contagious, but still feel like crap and haven't been able to go into work today. We'll see about tomorrow. If I can barely be at my desk for an hour, eight hours in a restaurant would just suck. I made it through the opera because it was so awesome, but yeah, anyway, point is sickness sucks!

Project Runway

So yesterday I felt like total crap and laid on my couch for hours. This gave me the chance to watch the Project Runway marathon that Lisa told me I should watch. The marathon started with eight contestants left so I missed the first few shows. Oh, well. After twenty minutes I noticed that Runway backwards started to spell Yawn, which is what I was thinking of. Forty minutes into it, I started to get involved. Two hours into it and I was liking it more. By the time I got to the last few episodes, I was hooked. I didn't get a chance to watch the finale yet, but that's all I have left. Probably watch it today. Definitely glad they paraodied it on SNL or I may never have wanted to watch it. I hate that bitch Wendy and she needs to go down!!! I think Kara should win, and I so miss Andrew. Jay is my favorite, though. He reminded me so much of Scott Henning I had to tell him. We ended up talking for awhile and that was fun, and he confirmed that others have told him Jay is just like him. Now I gotta see how it turns out. After I go to the doctor and get drugs. :)

Hospitals

Hospitals scare me. I don't like hospitals. I just got back from visiting my friend Dave in one and have just a few minutes before band so I thought I'd reflect on this. I hate illness and disease. They kind of scare me. I don't take medicine, not even Tylenol, unless it is an absolute last resort. I will take percription drugs if a doctor makes me. I don't want to get immune or resistant to the drugs in case I really need them in the future. I didn't want to go visit Dave today. Not because I don't like him; he's a great guy. He's 30 years old and he has the body of an 80 year old though, I swear. Poor guy. All those health problems. That kind of thing terrifies me. I definitely don't want to spend any time in hopsitals and hope I just die quietly in my sleep one day before I get too old and need serious medical attention. Anyway, on that sombering note, it's band time.

Qop!
