Day Eight: 

Sick. 

I've heard that what goes around comes around, but before I lived in a dorm, I never understood it fully. I have witnessed a horrible cold float from hall to floor to wing of this building. Unfortunately, I've become a victim. For the last five days or so, I've been dealing with a cold - stuffy/runny nose, coughing, fatigue, off and on fever, and achy-ness. Basically, an overall feeling of bleh. 

I was told that one of the hardest parts of your first year away from home is being sick for the first time. Mom's not here to bring me food or check in on me. ...I'm all alone...there's no one here besiiiiiiiiiddee me... (Ahem...Shrek reference). Anyway, it's been weird being on my own and sick. I skipped a math class because I had my head over the toilet. And the weirdest thing happened.. My teacher didn't email me telling me what we covered or even that she was praying for me and hoped I'd get better! WHAT?! I don't even know if she realized I wasn't in class. Anyway, missing that class is kind of kicking my butt right now as far as homework goes..so that's great. 

On another note, I'm all out of sunny d. And that is a very bad thing. 

And on my last note, I'm joining the Black Student Union! :) 

so soft. :)
