lovely surprises
Then I woke up today as sick as ever, and I decided I had to miss class today, resolutions or no. I called Serfass and told him I was sick, and he e-mailed Allie and said he was sick too, so would we mind postponing class. It�s so nice to be in a class with only two people. The English department is a cold bureaucracy, however, so I still had to type up my comps proposal and get ready for my Gilded Age exam tomorrow. I went to the health center and read some magazines today, so I�m sure I�ll get better now. Shermer did look at me for 15 seconds and prescribe some expectorants, but I don�t think they�ll help much.
Every time I step into my carrel I feel like I'm going into a confessional.
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. It's been 4 days since I last carreled."
"And why is that, my child?"
"Oh, impure thoughts, impure acts (though not as many as I has hoped), oversleeping, doing things I didn't really want to do because my friends were doing it, and all around laziness."
"For penance I assign you six straight hours in the carrel. Now go and slack no more."
