Well, I've still got my cold, but I'm not so absolutely dead as I was the other day! I started taking NyQuil the other night, which conked me out enough, although I mainly just exchanged a fierce sore throat for a clogged nose. But I took my first nap all semester (!!!) yesterday, which is how you know it's bad! Thankfully, though, I've managed to BS my way through this week and I only have one assignment to do tonight. I have several to work on over break, though.

In my creative writing course, I've got a creative project to do--our professor wants us to do something that's not simple writing but ties back into what we've discussed, so this girl in my class and I wrote a song! Grey is going to help us put it together with his guitar skills. I'm lead vocalist, and the other girl is background vocalist as she wasn't confident enough to do lead vocals. We also have to figure out some sort of drum beat in GarageBand, which might be a little challenging, but on the whole it's really exciting!

We also have to revise some of our previous writing for that class, which wouldn't be that difficult except that he hasn't graded two out of the three major writings we've turned in (although to be fair, we only turned the last one in today.)

For my English class, I have to write a 4-5 page paper about some work in our textbook from one of the critical perspectives we've discussed. That I can do--I just need to sit down and grind it out. That's probably what I'll do on the study date Grey and I have planned for this upcoming week!

And finally, for my linguistics for the classroom class, I have to do a lesson planning group project. I've already come up with some good ideas and done maybe half of my work for that project, but I still have some left to grind out.

And I have an exam or two on top of that. Never again am I taking this many credit hours!! Now it's off to take a quick shower and do my one assignment--a "reading journal" for my creative writing class. I just want to go home for Thanksgiving already...

Okay, so normally I should be asleep right now, but knowing today that wasn't going to happen. And anyhow, I think right now I just need to blog to let off some steam. I'd write in my diary, but my roommate made me turn out the light, so yeah. And anywho, maybe I need to cool off before I write there. But ironically, this blog feels more informal and stream-of-consciousnessy, I guess? I wonder what it would be like for someone to compare my blog and diary to each other.

Well, anyway I've had a sucky day. And I've been stressed the past few days and I don't even know why, but that's a separate thing. I've had some weird stomachache on and off a bit the past few days, but it was really bad today to the point that I had to stay home from my afternoon classes. And I couldn't really do anything, and I was just kind of suffering. I honestly think my tea I got this morning---I like to get breakfast and tea from a local café every Monday morning---might've been part of it somehow. That was not good tea. Well anyway, I was in pain and miserable all day, and I finally get to feeling a bit better and going to a meeting of a kind of underground/unofficial k-pop club at my college. Tonight we were going to sit around and make bracelets and chit-chat, and I spent most of two hours searching through the beads to find the letters I needed to make a "Verivery" bracelet in their fandom colours. And then I f-cking lost the bracelet! So yeah, it's been a treat.

I just hope and pray tomorrow's better! And that's not getting into the rest of the drama that's happened since my last post, some of which I literally don't think I can recount on here because it's too insane for the Internet (and also I'm not sure if I should be recounting that specific stuff anyways for personal, or rather interpersonal, reasons). And I hope to be free enough to work some more on the site soon! I love y'all. Talk to y'all soon! :)

So by now I'm sure that I have a cold. I did end up managing to to the writing I needed to do, but I'm in school in-person right now (my school has been in-person with social distancing most of the school year) even though it snowed a few centimentres. For once can the city be less proactive with their snow ploughing? I am not in the mood to be at school right now but oh well, I guess.
