Your aspriations to shreds

The last few days I've been sick. I think the name for it would be something like afluoxitinosis (it's all Latin, folks). The distinguishing symptoms include acting and feeling socially awkward. I had quite an acute case, and it definitely put me under the weather, but I think I'm finally recovering. I had a minor fit last night at dinner, but, other than that, I've been feeling great. In any case, I have a date Friday night, so I'm hoping to feel better by then.

Honestly, there's nothing like crummy health to help you appreciate the good times. I decided to celebrate, I would buy a pet rat or mouse or small reptile. No, I haven't informed my parents of my decision yet. It was about 3:00 in the morning SMT (5:00am EST), and I thought they might could use a good night's sleep before I told them. Besides, I was hoping to have this be like a surprise without the surprise part. Maybe something like the 5th amendment.

I didn't, however, feel as inhibited to call my friends. I needed somebody to go with me today to pick them up, as I'm not sure how they'd feel about bike trips. I called up Jenn and left a message something like "Maybe you're half awake now, so I'll try calling again." I did, and Jenn confirmed my message. It took her a little bit to come up with a time that she could join me in my adventure, but eventually we decided on 2:30. I called Dave, too, and on the second call, he also picked up. I couldn't understand half the words he said, but I think I got the feeling that he wanted to go back to sleep for some reason. Next I decided to call my brother, David. I called him twice then left a disappointed message. I called him one more time to ask him not to mention what time I called at to the parents, and to my surprise, he had turned his phone off! Weird.

In other exciting news, I went to my dumb Nursing 180 class, where I discovered I still want to be a nurse (surprise). I went to the nursing advisement place and was informed that I can apply to the nursing program under the old program! I'm excited because that means I have a pretty good chance of getting in. They only take grades from certain classes, all of which I have A's in.

I want to write a song. I'll see if Dave has any time.

Two more hours, and then I'll meet my new friends.
