H1N1

Day before my big presentation for my honors thesis...*shhhhhhhhBOOM*....swine flu.

I feel like a blob of bird poop at the moment, but I am marveling at how flexible and generous all of my supervisors have been about this thesis thing. They've basically told me not to worry about anything, just get well and then we'll set new deadlines and come up with an alternative for the presentation requirement. I've never experienced anything like that in academia. I guess it's just because they've gotten to know me and they just want me to get well, but it makes me wonder if every other professor that hasn't loosened requirements for sickness just doesn't believe their students when they say they are sick...

So, I've been sleeping, taking tylenol, sleeping, and working a little bit on my final paper for surveillance and social control. I'm writing it on the co-op, hehe, its actually pretty fun. It has to be 1200 words and I'm at 900, so I think I'm doing pretty good. :)

I can't believe this semester is practically over and I'll be moving on with my other plans. I almost had to make myself believe that there wasn't going to be a "after this semester" to get through these last few weeks. But there is!! And its here!!

Ana is graduating this weekend, I'm so happy for her! I can't wait to go home and celebrate, I hope my nose loses all this congestion cause I really want to enjoy her crab leg feast. :D

Ok, I'm either going to keep working on that paper or take a nap... I'm thinking nap...
