I hate being sick

I've spent a good portion of the last week sick, and that really sucks. Every few winters I somehow manage to get all of the nasty bugs, and this has been one of those winters unfortunately. Though I must say I am feeling better today. At the moment, Im just coughing and my throat hurts, which is better than the sneezing and congestion and runny nose I had the last few days. Though, this morning I was really congested.

I can't believe the semester's about over already. Or that my 21st birthday is this summer. Or that I will be a senior in college (I won't graduate next Spring though, it's going to take me another semester). It's also hard to believe I've been out of high school for almost three years now--that's a long time!

I have to spend this weekend writing a paper for my presidency class. We have a 10 page paper due on Tuesday, May 2nd. Then I have a test in another class on the 4th. Then, on the 5th, I get the final exam for my history class and it's due on the 10th by noon. Then, my last final is on the 12th. Busy, busy, busy!

I just wanna kick something

I dont have a singing voice to speak of at the moment (no pun intended), and I have a choir concert tonight. I spent the last day and a half with a nasty sore throat, a cold, and no voice at all. Well this morning my voice started to come back, and I just tested my singing voice, and it's almost nonexistent. :( GRRRRRR!

Waiting for American Idol

And here I thought American Idol was on at 7........guess not. Since I've moved out of my bedroom, computer and all and into the parents room where there's a tv, I'll stay here til 8:30 when AI is over. Im guessing the either Bucky, Melissa, Kevin, or Elliot are leaving tonight. I think Chris, Paris, Mandisa, and Lisa are safe.

Alright, so it's going to snow tomorrow. On March 15th, it's gonna snow. I am so tired of snow, let alone large amounts of the stuff. We're under a winter storm warning that will go in effect at 6AM tomorrow and last through 9PM tomorrow night. 5-10 inches with 20 mph winds. Now while I can handle that around my dinky little town, I work in downtown Madison, and the city of Madison SUCKS at clearing their streets. Driving to work should be pretty easy. Driving home around 12:30 (it's Spring Break, I'm only working 4 hours/day) though should be interesting.

*Sigh* classes start again on Monday. I can't believe I'm almost done with my junior year in college. That being said, there's no way I graduate in four years. It's just not going to happen. I like my major, I just don't know what Im going to do with it when I graduate. Law school or grad school would be good options, but I dont have the drive to do them now. If I were to do either of them, I wouldnt get anything out of them, or at least not enough to make it worth my while. *shrugs*
