I don't know about anyone else, but I love the way I feel right after being sick. That first real meal tastes so good, that first showering feels so refreshing, and the whole being up and out thing feels fresh and new. It probably has more to do with being in bed while being sick, than actually being sick. You've been in bed for so long that getting back into the swing of things feels even better than usual.
Well, I can say I'm totally over the cold or whatever I had. I got an amazing night's sleep (Nyquil, it works wonders) and work up and had the best bowl of Froot Loops ever. Got to linguistics class early and re-read the chapter, which led me to acing the pop quiz we had. After class I went to McDonalds and now I just got back. I'm eating some delicious Teddy Grahams and washing them down with a glass of orange soda as I type. (And I wonder why I get sick....haha.) I have the whole rest of the day to work on schoolwork for dead week. Since I got so much rest lately, I feel energized to work on it.
So thank God for the occasional cold bug!

End of term sickness
Have you noticed how near the end of the term, you almost always get a cold or something? It's usually right before dead week, and it's usually very painful and hard to recover from.
Sadly, this is happening to me right now. Last night I had a sneeze-fest, but figured it was just my usual allergies or something. This morning when I work up, I knew it was much worse. My sneezing had turned into a painful nose issue, hardcore headache, and an inability to keep my eyes open. I went back to bed until about 1, and then went out to get Nyquil, since it wasn't getting any better. I came back and went right to bed, and now I just work up. I still feel like hell, but my sneezing and runny nose is at least controllable. I should be decent enough tomorrow to resume regular class attendance, and in a couple days be back to normal.
Have you guys noticed this trend? I feel like I always get something bad towards the end of the term. It's usual something that hinders all schoolwork, too. Well, I got my blog post in for the day. Time for another dose of the good stuff and back to bed to sleep this off. Good luck, and remember to take your vitamins.

4 day weekend
Thanks to the snow, I have been given the gift of a 4 day weekend. I got my only class today canceled, and don't have any on Fridays, so I'm not back until Monday. I'm so happy about it. I had a quiz today in my class, but now it's postponed until Tuesday. I'm totally ready for the quiz, but a delay is always nice. It's been a long week, so I think I'll perform better next week anyway. Now I can spend all day today working on my paper for my other class. It's nice.
As for the snow, I really don't care. I get to spend all day in my pajamas in my warm apartment, so I'm good. I also get to spend some snuggle time with my cat, who I miss a lot when I'm gone. He's spent the whole morning following me around the apartment, since he usually is alone during the day. Luckily, I just got all my groceries 2 days ago, so I don't need to go anywhere. Today is going to be one very lazy day for me.

My mom is a Gleek now
I never thought I'd see the day, but my mom is a total hardcore Gleek.
It's my fault, really. I'm not a Gleek myself, but I introduced the show to her. We both knew about the craze but managed to avoid it. Until, that is, Britney Spears had a cameo episode last fall. I was required to watch that episode, so my mom watched it with me. We both kinda liked it, and decided to check out the other episodes, just for fun. We blew through the first season pretty quickly, and we enjoyed it. I thought that was all. Then my mom started updating me on the cast member's projects, and wanting to know what songs they're gonna cover and the truth finally came out...she became a Gleek. She denied it at first, but now she accepts it. So now we DVR the episodes every Tuesday, and I watch them with her whenever she comes home. It's a decent show, but I'm nowhere near obsessed with it.

So lazy lately...
The buzz that I had in the beginning of the term has officially worn off.
I began this term with such a strong attitude, and I was so on top of things. Now I'm lucky if I can find my binder in the morning before class. I've totally slacked off on my reading, too. That's not good, especially for an English major. My organization system went from total order to "cram everything in my backpack and sort it out never." I've made a list, and I have 2 essays, 2 quizzes, one final, and the web site left. That's the whole rest of the term before I can rejoice in spring break. The problem is that I think my mind is already on break, or at least it's acting that way. Even my blogs have taken slower paths. I'm starting my 3 for the week on Tuesday night.
This whole weekend is being spent getting a head start on the close of the term. I'm gonna write one essay and polish off the web site, in addition to catching up on readings. It's a very well needed weekend of work. I'm actually a little excited. I usually love getting things done and being productive, so I think it'll help bring me out of this lazy haze.

Spaghettios and Chocolate Milk
I'm sitting here eating one of my favorite meals for dinner: a can of spaghettios and some chocolate milk. It made me realize that all my favorite foods are the stuff that little kids at daycare eat. I mean, this morning I had Froot Loops and apple juice for breakfast. I also eat pop tarts like they're going out of style, and I'd die without milk. I blame my parents. They're exactly the same way, and I get it from them. When I go home, we have things like mac n cheese for dinner. I called my mom, and she had a PB&J for dinner. I don't think we'll ever go high-brow for our food tastes.
I have a nine year old nephew who will sometimes laugh at me for eating the same stuff he does. He swears that when he's a grown up like me, that he'll eat grown up stuff. I don't know if I should take offense to that or not. haha. Every time I get groceries, I always wonder what the cashiers think of me. I always get stuff like pop tarts, spaghettios, chips, mac n cheese, frozen pizzas, and cereal. If it wasn't for making pizzas, my oven would get no use at all.

Britney Spears has a new video!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Edv8Onsrgg&feature=player_embedded
Everyone should click on the link above to experience one of the most amazing videos in the world.
That's right. Miss Britney Spears has released her music video for her new song "Hold It Against Me." I love it. She looks beautiful (as always) and it's perfect. It includes a scene where she is in front of a ton of monitors, and each one shows one of her old music videos. For those of you who don't follow Britney as much as I do, she has a total of 32 music videos. That's a pretty good 12 year career. Then she tosses paint all over them, and begins beating up a replica of herself. It's a not so subtle kick at her media image. People are so obsessed with her celebrity, so she's beating up that side of herself. Her real self and her famous self end up both falling to the ground, and it cuts to her dancing. She's always said she just likes to dance and perform, and that's who she is. This is her stripping away all that media craziness and just being what she wants to be. It's been out for like half an hour and I've played it I think 6 times so far? I'm gonna leave it on repeat until I go to bed.
I'm happy in life right now. Every time life seems dull, Britney will give me something to be happy over. Life is good again!
(I hope Dr. Artman will excuse my use of exclamation points in this blog. I'm too excited to not use them.)
