Happy sunny day.

Today has been the loveliest of all the days so far and I unfortunately missed my opportunity to wear any of my lovely dresses because of my damn cold/throat/ear thing. I went back to the nurses office today and after waiting for an hour I was told that I had a ridiculous amount of fluid in my ear, that my lymph nodes were swollen and there was a chance that I may have mono. I already knew that I had fluid in my ear and that my nodes were swollen, I can feel the pain every time I turn my head. I walked out of there with a packet of Sudafed, a packet of ibuprofen and no mono test. I should have just taken a nap in the sun. I intend to kick whatever I have by Thursday because I'm sick of feeling sick and I'm starting to get frustrated and anxious and it's making me very upset and a little teary.

Sad news: My standby formal date can't go to formal with me so I'm thinking I may not go. I toyed with the idea with asking a couple of other people but one has recently discovered his liking for acid and the other works on Thursday nights plus I don't think hanging around a bunch of drunk college students is really his scene anymore especially since most of them are sorority and fraternity people.

Happy news: Spring is officially here in my mind. I don' care if we end up with a few more days of poor weather, I have already started planning summer clothes and other bits of sunniness. My apartment complex also cleaned out the pool this weekend so now I can see a giant blue shell from my apartment and it's making me excited to lay by the pool in the coming months. This will be even more exciting if Anna decides to move into one of the buildings. If she moves in there will be more Ritas, Llanerch, and Caitlin than last time. So excited for Anna! I've also super cleaned out my room and washed ALL of my linens. I opened the window really wide and now everything feels very clean and breezy and it's greatly improved my mood.

Funny news: So I ran into Kat today in the stairwell between classes. She had a good laugh at my expense and then we talked about what happened after I blacked out on Friday. Apparently I made a bigger hot mess of myself than I realized and also embarrassed My Hebrew Friend in the process. I am so so so sorry Yonni, you should have just let me fall on the floor. And then after we left some people got all confessional. I wish I could have been able to view the whole evening from a distance and see myself and everyone after I went nuts and had to be carried away. Kat thought the whole evening was funny and we've made tentative plans for a more responsible next weekend.
