I'm sitting here using a school computer, feeling wretchedly ill. My nose alternates dramatically from stuffy to running like water... sometimes both at the same time. On the plus side I've cleaned out about a third of my e-mail inbox, and I remembered to bring my copy of 'The Merchant of Venice' to class today.
Flirted with a cute 24-year-old from Africa while standing in line. He spoke very quietly, with a noticable but not off-putting accent, which worked out nicely because I was talking quietly too-- being sick and throat-scratchy and all. He said his name was Peter, but I wonder if he changed or adopted it, because that's a fairly Euro-American name.
Also saw a high school friend and said high while she walked past. I'm so horrible at keeping up with people. She was one the people I really hung out with last year, but after summer I hadn't called her at all. And I've been beating myself up for not calling my friends for months now. I did try calling one in October (because A, I missed her and B, she had my Fight Club DVD---I was hoping to reaquire both friend and DVD at the same time), but her phone line was dead, and I didn't see her the few times I went by her house.
Though sick and wreteched, I'm looking forward to this afternoon, when I'll be going to visit a young woman my family knows from the San Jose Sailing Club. She works for a congressman (I think), and she offered to let me shadow her for a day to see what working in that kind of affice was like. I'm very excited. He is a Republican, eeew, but he's still a politician so this is going to be cool.

Get well soon!
Hhm, Merchant of Venice. I like that one. Portia is cool. but the ending feels wrong (modern day morality creeps in here)
Hope you feel better soon!
