Day three of Jersey and I want out.  I want out of here, but I don't want to go to back to school.  It's this terrible feeling of wanting to go home, but I don't really feel like I have a home.  So I'm just stuck I guess.
Also my throat still freakin hurts.
So annoying.
Well since I have nothing to say but complaints, I'm gonna cut the post here.

Oh, my life.
I am back in New Jersey, after a truly painful ten hour drive home.  The good news is that since being home I have slept pretty well, which we all know was much needed.  The bad news is that my sickness persists.  I feel good, like I'm not sluggish or woozy or anything, but my throat still hurts a lot and my nose is giving me trouble and I still have pink eye.  And let me tell you, it's quite difficult to be cute and summery in my thick black glasses.  And for this I am frustrated.
I would love to be back to my normal, healthy self in two or three days so I can go to the beach and have picnics with Steph and do summer things.
Oh, and the coughing.  I just remembered how freaking annoying the coughing is as I sit here hacking up a lung.  It starts at night before bed so that I can't fall asleep.  It's great.  And by great I mean it's freaking awful.
Anywho, I'm going to go to bed as tomorrow is the 'taste of Evesham'.  It's when all the local restaurants set up vendors on main street and put out food and wine samples.  People can buy a wrist band for like ten bucks which gives them access to all the samples that are available, and my dad really loves it, mostly because he thinks he's a certified food critic.  It's probably going to be super painful, but homie really wants to go and even though he won't say it, I know he really wants me to go too.
So I'm going to get some sleep and hope that this sickness is on its way out!
I would really love to wear my contacts and hear out of both ears again.
Oh, the luxuries of life...

You know those sicknesses when you feel super crappy, but then get better for a day, and then go back down to crappy?  Those are the worst, and that is my life.
There isn't enough medicine in the world to fix me, so lucky for me, I just have to wait it out.
In the mean time I'm chugging vitamin water and crying at how badly it hurts my sore throat.
Poor Tibbs, she's not even finished finals yet and she still has to hear me complain about my imminent doom.
Also, sleep.
I so so so miss sleeping.  The last three days have been this hazy half-awake/half-asleep nights and usually around six or seven am my body quits all together and I'm awake for good.  I've even popped benadryl to knock me out and that doesn't even work.  Everything sucks, I'm miserable, and I'm so pissed that I can't enjoy my last two days on campus.
So there you go, a moody and possibly annoying rant about my current state.

So it's over, and it nearly killed me.

I came down with a virus Sunday night and am still getting over it.  I had a fever and all sorts of weird things were happening.  Last night, for example, I was in a totally different world.  Almost exactly six hours after I took ibuprofen to get my fever down, I woke up in a panic because I thought something really bad was going to happen to me and that this guy was going to kill me because he thought I did something I didn't do.  Six hours later, around 8am Kesha texts me really confused about something I said that night.  So I check my phone and it looks like I texted Kesha in my sleep, panicking about my imminent doom.  So weird.  I also woke up again around 4:30 am and got some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower for some reason.  And then I realized it was bedtime, so I went back to sleep.

Fevers.  Weird stuff.

But my finals are now over, and I have three days till I'll be home, which may end up being the longest three days of my life.  I just hope I get over this freaking sickness soon so that I can enjoy my two weeks home.

Ugh.  I'm going to now continue packing since I have nothing better to do with my life!

Finals Week is Making My Brain Melt

Being that life has been so unusually odd in the last few days, I feel a blog update is necessary.
I have spent the last two full days studying for finals.  As in, from when I wake up (or get back from church) to very late.  Studying.  I'm not big on studying (not that anyone is), and I have never really felt the finals heat before this semester.  It's just weird, I've been locked in the dungeon for two days staring at text books and making flash cards.  And by dungeon, I mean the basement of a dorm next to mine where there are classrooms.  Also, I didn't get to bed last night till four in the morning which I literally think was a first in my life, and then I woke up five and a half hours later for church.  Oddly enough, I didn't feel the least bit tired all day until about five pm when I was sitting in the dungeon trying to finish my perspectives project.  So I caved and got coffee.  Coffee.  It felt so wrong, but it was necessary.  For a while anyways, I kind of accidentally just fell asleep on my textbook for a half hour.  Also, I dropped a really heavy (like, upwards of fifty pounds heavy) desk chair on my foot like an hour ago so that's starting to look pretty purple.
But the good news is (are you ready for it!?)  I FINISHED MY PERSPECTIVES PROJECT!  I also made flashcards for all of the vocab words I need to memorize for spanish, and I've glanced at my spanish essay.  So all I have for tomorrow is to re-write my essay and learn/memorize two months of astronomy.  Also, it's freezing in here.  I was originally really pumped about that fact because it was so hot outside but now that I'm sitting here on the floor in a skirt and sweater, I'm shivering.  But I know that as soon as I leave and get to my room I will be in pajamas and in bed so fast that my brain won't have any time to protest and my night of studying will be gone.
Also, it's kind of cracking me up watching other people study.  One of Kesha's friends is in the classroom with me studying and he's eating a loaf of bread.  That's his study snack.  And the other night we found him eating a jar of peanut butter with a spoon.  It's just silly, people eat the weirdest things during finals because you just want to grab something and make it last for the hours you're sitting at a desk trying to absorb information that you won't remember a week later.
I can't believe that it was just this morning that I went to church.  I feel like I've been here for days.
But tomorrow will be great because I feel really good about the spanish test and my project is done so all I really have to worry about is Astronomy (duh duh duh), and let me tell you, that test is going to give me a run for my money...
But I wish you luck, to those of you who are in the middle of finals madness.
Two more days, and it'll be all over.
Oh, the joy.

Oh my nose!  I was gushing about a cute boy to Kesha yesterday and forgot that I was wearing glasses and threw myself onto my bed, crushing my glasses into my nose.  And oh, the pain.  I'm really happy that I don't have a giant bruise on my nose, it just looks pink.  I'm praying that I won't have to sneeze at all today.  Ugh, boys are so destructive to my life.
Anywho, this is my last chill chapel time of the year!  Tis the last day of classes, and I start finals on Friday.  Thankfully, I'll be totally finished by this time next week.
Also also also I just got out jury duty for next weeeeeek!!!!  Not that it makes much of a difference to my life as Lucia and Stephanie are still coming to get me next friday.  I'm staying a few extra days so we can all celebrate Kesha's birthday (the 17th).
Unfortunately I already have it in my head that I'm done, and have yet to begin studying.  But I only have two finals and really only one that I have to intensely study for (you guessed it-astronomy).  SO I think I'm in good shape, once I finish these two projects that I've been working on.
Also Tibbs and I stayed up faaaaaar too late PT-ing.  Waking up this morning was so hard, and I'm dreaming about naptime come 2pm.
Six days till I'm done, ten till I'm home.

So here we are, my last peaceful Sunday night.  I'm sitting here in the suite with Tibbs and Laura as usual, so I figured I'd recap on the lovely weekend I just had.
Friday evening Laura and I went to the Sweaty Tooth show, which is our improv comedy group on campus.  It was hysterical, as always.  And then saturday I went to the Gordon Women's Lacrosse Championship game at Endicott (our rivals).  It was pretty entertaining to see some of the players smacking their sticks on the ground and screaming when they disagreed with the refs.  Unfortunately we lost, and it was a bummer because the captain is a senior and she got flagged during the second half and had to sit out the rest of the game.  But I heard that they broke a bunch of records this season and got further than usual, so that's exciting.
And then last night Laura and I decided to go to the beach with Kelly and Kelly's friend (whose name escapes me) to see the super moon and the meteor shower.  It was wicked foggy but we still saw a bunch.  Despite the fact that it was freeeezing, it was nice to go out and do something random.

And then this morning Kesha and I were joined by Chuck and two of his friends to church.  Now a top feature of my car that my mom brings up all the time is how spacious it is, despite being a small car.  We couldn't help but laugh because these boys who were all over six feet were all shoved in the back of my car, and it has never felt so small.

Kesh and I also probably embarrassed ourselves because we were so excited that we got to meet one of the boys that Chuck brought because he was one of the winners of Golden Goose.  Both of the boys are really nice, despite the one's celebrity status on campus.

Then the five of us went out to lunch and I came back and Kesh and I watched Phantom of the Opera and (as usual) took a nap during.  Also Tibbs' made a delicious peanut butter chocolate cake, so that was a nice feature of the night.  I also decided to cover Laura with my scarf and decorate her which was funny at first then turned to really creepy and then back to funny.

So yes, a successful weekend.  Now if only I could start on this homework...
