yicky icky.

it's official. i am no longer speaking like lauren. being sick... actually, waking up sick randomly... is the worst feeling in the world. not being able to talk on the phone, or sing along to my favorite songs without sounding like some sort of disease ridden patient is comparably worse.

people laugh at me while i smile, metally picturing bows coming out of my imaginary arrow going through their larynx, prohibiting them speech for a while as well. see if they like it.

i just want to be cured. it doens't help that instead of sleeping the next four days, i have instead an 8 page teaching project [complete with worksheets and quizzes attached, as well as any pictures and timelines i feel like including] due wednesday that i haven't started, i have to read 75 more pages in the god awful frankenstein and post by tomorrow, and i need a topic for my persuasive speech, as well as a detailed outline of what i will say due thursday.

i blamed stress for getting sick, i'm going to blame overwork for not getting better.

on an upside, our softball team is apparently 3-1, putting us at some sort of playoff before playoffs. meaning if we win tonight, we not only go to the real playoffs, but we get t-shirts. and, since everyone knows how much i LOVE t-shirts, i may just make a sickly appearance and hope i don't lose the game for the team. we'll see. gooooo effin' ay's!!!

i ran into sean this morning on my way to class and i think he felt bad for my lack of vocal activity b/c he invited me to lunch with him and jason, so i'm going to go prepare for that. maybe afterwards i can find the strength to make it to walmart for some extreme meds. we'll see.

it was an accident of youth,
lauren.

ps. i'll leave you with one of my favorite 70's show quotes yet, because it makes me smile everytime for some obscure reason:

"wait, this isn't like that time you bought a hamster, named it virginity, and lost it, is it?"
~ eric foreman, after hearing that fez lost his virginity.

peace out.
