I'm stick sick with the nastly head cold that plagued me last week...This thing needs to go a way NOW! I was getting better, but then my throat started to ache again. I think the AC at work is helping to make things worse, but with out it on thing would be really muggy and miserable. After today, I won't be working here (I'm currently at work, BTW) eight hours at a time. I get tomorrow off, and then come back on Thrusday and on Saturday. It sucks that I won't be making as much money, but I'm happy that I still have a job.

In other news, my father sent me a message via Facebook telling me that he is getting a divorce from my stepmother. He also tells me that he met another woman, but this was after the shit hit the fan. Honestly, I don't know how to feel. Because he was absent in my life for about 15 years, I don't feel much for him. However, I feel bad for my siblings having to go through this. I mean, even I was put off because the divorce proceedings just started and he is already in a relationship with someone else. It must be hard for them. I haven't really responded because I don't know how to respond. Hopefully he keep them in mind through this thing. This whole summer has been chalked with disfunction family wise, it seems. I just hope it chills out during the school year because it is already going to be stressful as it is.

In good news, I got my camera! I've been tinkering around with it a little yesterday, and so far it seem really good. I got a FUJIFILM FinePix S1500, and from the reviews I've seen, the camera is pretty damn good for the price. Compared to my very first digital camera I brought, it is 100 times better. I took a few shots here and there and the pictures came out really clear. I hope to start posting some picks pretty soon here of stuff, but I have to read the manual first because I don't have too much of an idea of where everything is on the camera, what all the modes are, and such. Maybe today I'll start on my scarf (for real this time) and take picks of my progress.

It is indeed my birthday, and my gift that I received from my co-worker...a head cold. I'm feeling more miserable by the minute. I told her that she should have stayed home during the worst of it, but no. Now I have her cold.

In lighter news, a few days ago while at work, one of the little girls that I work with saw me knitting (I'm working on a simple scarf) and she wanted to learn. I did not have any extra needles nor any ones small enough for her to handle well. Luckily for her however, while I was talking to her, I messed up quite a bit and decided to start all over again, so I showed her how to cast on and how to do the knit stitch. She sort of picked up on it, but because of her impatience she did not listen completely. After a while she got bored, but she said that she would like to learn more someday since she thought it was really cool. This made me quite happy.

I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I just feel so groggy. This is not how I should be feeling on my birthday!

It's been ages since I last blogged (so much for blogging daily). I've been so busy these past couple of months that I have barely had any time for myself. Now I've contracted something, possibly Mono Tiki Tia (aka glandular fever, aka mono). I've had tonsil and lymphatic swelling in my neck for the past few months, so I decided to go to the doctor on Thursday because I just couldn't take the discomfort anymore. She thinks it's mono and I got some blood work done. It makes since, but I just don't know how I would have contracted it if I don't share drinks with other people and I haven't kissed anyone, nor have I been around anyone who has it (or at least that I know of). I took a couple of days off from classes. All of my professors wished me a speedy recovery and told me not to stress on their assignments.

In other news, I found out that I won't be getting work study over the summer so I have to find a summer job. I'm thinking about stopping by a few places soon and see if there are openings.

I think I'm going to go and take a nap now. Dowsiness has kicked in.

So I did not blog yesterday because fell asleep as soon as I got some grub and took some cold medication. It's only been day one of my cold, but I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.These are the highlights of yesterday:

• Woke up at the butt crack of dawn to finish my Photoshop project and chapter response for Mass Media Law.
  
• Got 97/100 on my analyzing artwork paper. My Photoshop prof. is a really hard grader, so I was so stoked.
• Found out that my Mass Media Law midterm exam was pushed up to this Thursday (Bad times), and also discovered that it is an open note test (Good times!)
• Talked to my rhetoric prof for nearly an hour about sources for my research paper, and told me that I should think about becoming a professor. I told him I'll think about it, but honestly I don't see it as the career for me.
• Mom wanted me to go grocery shopping with her so she picked me up from uni. I felt like I was going to faint during the whole time we were there because I did not bother to get any food while on campus. I just didn't have an appetite nor did I want to spend almost $6 on a very cold ham sandwich.

So that was pretty much my entire day. I'm going to classes today, but I'm not going to work. I don't want the kids to catch my bug.

And no it's not that fever...fever as in 102 degrees! To the point where I can't think straight, and that I can't do anything I want to do because my head feels like it's been stuffed up with cotton or some substance like that. Hell, I don't even know how I'm blogging coherently. I supposed to get my accuracy checks done and work on my article, but I haven't been able to do that. I hate being sick!!!!!! Although it is giving me a little more time so I can talk to a few more sources.
