irony

It's ironic that I wrote my last post on taking care of myself because no later than 24 hours later, I became sick.  I think my body subconsciously knew that some sort of bacteria or virus was stalking me.  I was pretty much laid out for a number of hours and no amount of sleep was enough.  I guzzled OJ like it was my job and mentally thanked the Sudafed company for keeping me physically alive.  My head hurt and my body hurt and I realized how nice is it to be able to breathe out of my nose.  I'm still on the mend, but I spent a number of hours outside today.  Which, whether I like it or not, will probably worsen my condition because my sinuses hate pollen and outdoorsy-ness.  Oh well, it was gorgeous today.  To think that this week has contained the extreme seasons.  There was snow on Monday and today, I walked around with flip flops and a t-shirt.  My skin needed Vitamin E badly.  I was more than happy to oblige.  Come on, warm weather.  

Side note, despite U.Va's construction status, I love walking around grounds.  It makes me feel like a prospective freshman again.  Clean slate, looking forward to a new phase in my life...granted, I wouldn't want to be a freshman again (not for like, a million dollars) but there's something about a collegiate atmosphere that makes me smile with nostalgia and that feeling of hope for the future.
