First day of spring break and I'm comfortably still in my pajamas! Spring break, hmm... I always figured I would have more spare time than this, but no! I had to get sick the week before so now I am stuck inside, doing take-home tests, make up work and studying for tests that I will be taking when I go back to school. So, maybe if I scramble enough and work my bum off I will be able to have half of spring break devoted to the ever-elusive "me time" that I miss so much.
As for what I've been doing... I have spent a lot of time doing work. Ugh. Maybe some day it will all pay off. Luckily I have my music to keep me sane. Here is one of my most recent obsession songs...
That's "Still Dreaming" by Silverstein
And then this one is an old favorite of mine by The Fray - "How to Save a Life" (and yes, I know there are other versions other than this. And by the way, later on there will be another entry all about this song... but give me time)
If you don't already know this song, then please, go find the lyrics and memorize them! It's such a great song, and I love it to no end.

She Lives!
After several weeks of being down and out with various ailments, I am officially alive. I feel human this weekend for the first time in this entire month. No stuffed/runny nose, my head isn't spinning, no more all over body aches, my throat is no longer on fire or being bombarded with knives, and I am actually very lucid! For a while I was down and out with just some random bug that was going around, then after about 2 days of "feeling human" I was sick again! After several doctor visits I was told I had Mono-- The Kissing Disease! Uh-oh... my boyfriend never had it! Dum-dum-dummm! What had I been up to!? Was I bad!? NO! :P But, it did wipe me off my feet during the worst possible time: Ohio Graduation Tests (state required testing sucks!)
So, all last week I went in to school and from 7:45 through 10:30 I took the tests (against the doctor's wishes), and then went home (in accordance to his and my mother's wishes). I slept, and slept and slept. Only broken was my ritual by intervals of small half bites of food, doctor visits, and trips to the bathroom. Being diagnosed with mononucleosis was not the worst of it; no, the worst was the fact that I couldn't sleep in my own room.
With the snow melting, the ground became very saturated. My room is in the basement and the cracks in my cement floor meant that my floor- carpet and all- was soggy. So, as we've done several times before, we gutted my room (we being my mother, I was sick) stuck the dehumidifier in the middle of the room and proceeded to let it air out... the entire time I was sick. Due to the lack of a bed in my bedroom, I slept on the couch upstairs. I slept better there than I ever have in my own bed! But, I didn't have any of the "bedroom comforts" (absolutely no light, no noise, cool air, and all that jazz) so it was awkward. But, I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong, I got a clean room out of the deal! WOO HOO!
So, I'm back now. Life is just as insane as ever, but I don't have time to recap anything else yet because I'm swamped with makeup homework. Ugh.
*robotic voice* I am a slave to the school.
