More talk about the cold

Am I supposed to get worse as I get better? I swear, my sore throat is worse today -- I think I sound even hoarser than before -- and I've developed the new symptom of a runny nose... God, I'm going to have to go out and buy me some tissues... Ugh, what am I'm going to do about tomorrow? If I'm not better, Hanawa would probably banish me if I try to go to class still sick... And at the rate my voice is failing me, I will have lost it by tomorrow. Nice. The class is completely oral and I can't speak. Awesome.

Gah, I wish I didn't have to go and meet Cassaundra. I could sleep otherwise. And I need sleep... I couldn't fall asleep until 5:30 AM so I'm just a bit out of it right now. And I'm sick. And it's back to being cold despite yesterday's insanely warm weather. *makes a face* I'm just hoping this will go quick -- I had off her sheets, I leave and come back and sleep. Sound easy, right?

And today I'm going to spend the day sleeping and doing Sosek. I ended up finishing the Programming homework even though I'm not sure how I did it or if I was able to do both programs correctly. But my professor extended the due date to Monday (fucker, couldn't he have told us that before I spent until 3 AM doing it?! My fault for not checking my email though... Ugh, I didn't even have a hint of this...) so I guess we'll have time to go over it some more in class. :\ My problem with the assignment is that he's so unclear with his instructions that it confuses the hell out of me so I'm not really sure what he wants us to do. Great, huh?

Okay, time to get dressed. I've got to get going unfortunately... :\ My goal is to be back before 12:30. Let's hope for that. ^^

Awake once more

I got back around 12:20 so I was right about how long it would take to hand off the timesheets. I'm glad it didn't so long but I was kinda out of it so when Cassaundra hugged me, I was like pulling away and was like I want to leave. The fact that my voice is partial lost made me not want to speak. In hindsight, I should have just rebuffed her with the fact that I am sick and she probably should be getting close to me. Oh well, it's over. If she thought it was a weird thing, whatever. I'm full of weirdness so it's nothing new.

I bought myself Ginger Ale flavored cough drops -- the most menthol in one drop for a branded cough drop at the cheapest price. Well, excluding cherry because synthetic cherry flavor has to be the most god awful flavor in the world. I will forever associate it with yuckiness and being sick so there's no way in hell I was going to buy that.

I also bought myself tissues. They're pink, something I didn't realize at the time so now it's bothering the hell out of me. I mean, they're pink! Who wouldn't be bothered? So not me. But I bought them and they're soft so I guess I'll use them, despite how looking at them makes me hate myself for not checking what it meant when the tissue box proclaimed it was "colored." How could I be so stupid...?

I'm making a soup for tonight since my appetite hasn't returned yet... It's going to be a Hylocereus undatus flower soup, or in more common terms, a soup made from the flower of the Dragonfruit (also known as pitaya). Apparently it's name is "Night-blooming Cereus" but frankly, I've never heard of it. Cantonese people call it "Ba Wong Fa" and personally, I've always love the taste of it.

Next is of course Soseki. So far, I've read the first paragraph that describes him leaving from a priest's room. Oh, how interesting. It's only three pages so hopefully It'll go quickly. I don't want to spend all of today doing it at all... :\ For one thing, I still am pretty tired. Why am I awake?

At least the cough drops are controlling the coughing a bit. I coughed a bit too much today and invoked my gag reflex that almost made me throw up. Not fun.

What was kinda fun was the dream I had during my nap. I almost forgot about it when I woke up but now that I think about it, I'm absolutely sure. It was yaoi dream! Not just a dream featuring two gay guys -- I've had that before -- but a dream very much like a yaoi manga complete with older soon to be brother in law taking advantage of the younger, brilliant genius of his fiancée. They have a torrid affair but the younger guy falls in love with his sister's fiancé and when he realizes he can't deal with it, he tries to go away for school but the old guy stops him just as he's leaving. I wish I had finished the dream and seen how he dealt with the whole "being engaged thing" but unfortunately, I didn't. :\ Oh well, it was interesting just to have the dream. At least both guys were cute in the way yaoi manga guys are cute. Maybe this is god's way of paying me back for being sick for the last what? Week? Ugh, I better be getting better soon. :\
