At long last it's crashed
It's colossal mass has broken up
Into bits in my throat
So I'm sick again. What's up with that? It feels like I'm constantly getting sick this year. I think this might be the worst it's been lately, though. I've been so uncomfortable and cold and hot and sore and I can't swallow and my head hurts in the worst way. Mom gave me one of the Tylenol 3s that I took when I got my wisdom teeth out - that helped a lot. Right now I'm feeling okay. But when the medicine wears off, it'll be a different story. I don't know why I've been getting sick so often lately. It's weird, and it's annoying. Whatever.
Yesterday, after taking many Motrins, I decided to do my English homework and made an amazing discovery. We had this poetry web-research project to do, and one of the things we had to do was find a poet who shared our same first initial and provide samples of some of their poetry and then write a short biography. I chose Hilaire Belloc - mostly because he was the first person on emule.com's list of Classic Poets who's name started with H - and I fell in love. He's amazing. His poems are so funny and clever and not boring. I love them.
Last time I updated, I promised that I would update y'all on my future career plans. Since then, I have come up with another career plan that I kind of like. So...now I can't decide. But option one for me is to become an English Professor. And option two is to become a Linguistic Anthropologist, and then eventually perhaps a professor of Anthropology. I'm excited. But kind of worried that these might be a little too ambitious for me. Who knows. Anyway, there you have it.
When I'm not bedridden with illness, I like Eisley and The Shins. I've been listening to "Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine nonstop, and playing my keyboard like it's going out of style.
So, my brain hurts a little. I'm worried about exams. Im excited to start the next semester. I'm tired and sore and sick. Goodbye.
