Current mood:

lethargic

Graaaaah
Well I've been back in Ohio since saturday and planned on updating this sooner, buuut I soon came down with some kinda virus/flu/disease or something similar to that effect. Between alternately burning up and freezing, feeling like my head weighs a metric ton, and having no appetite, it's been a pretty damn fun time here at home so far.

But that's the bad news, the GOOD news is that it's less than two weeks till Shawn and I go to New York for a few days. We figured it'd be good to get one last hurrah in before summer ends and it's time to start the semester of six classes. Fun!

I went to a doctor today to see about getting something for the fever, and I realized it was the first time I had seen a medical professional about anything since high school. Is it normal to go three or four years without a checkup of any kind? Well anyway, the one thing I had forgotten about most was the waiting. First I had to wait in line to sign in, then I waited in the aptly titled waiting room, then I got to wait for another 25 minutes or so in the examining room. I get the feeling the only reason I was moved from the waiting room to the examining room was so that I wouldn't catch on that they weren't planning on touching me for another half hour. I should have rebelled somehow; maybe pee on everything in the room. When you can't think of a good way of showing disappointment, urine is usually a good method.

So I'm here till next sunday and then I'm back in Chicago for a few days before shipping out once more to the Big Apple. After that it's a couple sleep-filled days and helloooo classes. Anyone have anything I should add to the list of things to see in New York? So far I just have Central Park, Empire State Building, Tavern on the Green, and a naked guy in a cowboy hat in Times Square who sings country songs.
