My n’s and r’s sound like d’s, I can’t smell the normally overwhelming male perfume in my hallway, I can’t taste the cheddar jalapeño flavor of the Cheetos, and I can’t sing even a little bit of ‘Run to the hills‘ currently playing on my media player. I have been struck by the common cold, set on my sore throat induced by the dryness in my room because now the heating has been turned on in the residence halls. It’s all connected. I promise you that. Always connected. Hopefully this bout falls into my yearly routine… *knocks wood*
I still haven’t finished any of the books I’ve borrowed from the library this time – includes a kind of sultry sequel to Pride and Prejudice – owing to the two assignments, three mid-terms and a few quizzes scheduled in the next few weeks. And also the two jobs that I interviewed for…I got both…accepted both…then refused one…20 hours dedicated to that from next week… WOW! I’m getting back to the busy person I like to be. I like lazy too. But sometimes busy is good. I won’t feel so guilty about spending now that I will be earning !! It’s not much but it’s good enough for me. For now. I’m glad.
Fall break is this weekend, and I must study hard. I’ve begun to understand the deeper meaning of things, makes me a better person. Learning a lot from those around me – different cultures, some with sane outlooks, others just have issues, and yet others don’t know the extent of their personal beliefs. It’s maddening sometimes, but I have the advantage of having a very silent ‘me’ time.
The heavy nose calls for attention, and my black sheeted, black comforted bed beckons 
. Starting to go to the 40’s in temperature now…can’t wait for it to snow!! Delightful !!
