I'b sick.

Only one week of vacation between summer term and absolute middle school* madness, and what happens? I get a cold within the first 12 hours and spend the next two days knitting scarves, drinking Vernor's, and watching a bewildering combination of apocalyptic OPB programs and Harry Potter dvds (whilst drugged up on cold medicine, no less).
"Smah" is the term that sums it all up most succinctly.
But at least the weather is drizzling along with my nose.

*Can't remember whether I mentioned it or not... I've been placed in Junction City schools for my student teaching bit this year. In the fall I start at Oaklea Middle School (and in the winter I move on to high school). I'm already bracing myself for blasts of excessive eighth-grader cologne and mouldering lockers decorated with Teen magazine clippings. Save me, Suzanne, save me.

Hey Sicko, (Sorry, bad joke)

How you feeling? Any better? Had a good week other than the sickness? I'm headed to Corvallis for the weekend- don't know what you'll be up to. Maybe we could do coffee or something. Take care and I'll talk to you soon!

Sunday and still sick! Usually I kick illnesses after a day or two, but this one stuck around impressively.

When do you plan to come back to Eug? You doing karate this week? (I have my blue belt exam on Tuesday, egad.)
