Your whole life you hear your parents and everyone around you telling you stay healthy and when you do get sick to rest and drink a lot of water. While this is a very simple action I have been following it for years and it never fails me.
The last two years at college have shown me a lot of things. Between sickness, the police, the law, and making love I've seen a lot of things. In any case the last few months have been the worst for getting sick. Not only was it flu season, but it's allergy season and I'm starting to wonder why those two seasons had to be put right next to each other. Why does one have to lead right into the other one, can't we just have a you're-not-going-to-die season? I'd feel much better if we did. The reason I felt compelled to write this blog, is because everyone around me including myself have been sick. It's honselty kind of scary. In some sense it's like the Stand. For those of you who don't know, a military base accidentally leaks some sort of biological virus that seems like a bad flu everyone gets it, and a small statistic survives and the government tries to contain it, to no avail. Thats how I've felt the last couple weeks. Everyone around me has been sick with something different. I had a sinus infection (still do, but on meds), Melissa had a bad cold almost a flu, Alex had a flu, Darren had what seemed to be strep and a sinus infection, but is now Mono.
I don't know anymore, but hey everyone get down with the sickness. Embrace it and just go with it. So when you get sick, lots of water and a hella lot of rest.
Weekends at Carroll always seem to disappoint and by disappoint I mean, like absolutely god awful stick a spike through my eye. It's not that there's nothing to do at school or the surrounding town...it's just that there's nothing to do at school or the surrounding town, it really is that bad. Me, Darren, Steve, and Wally, we play video games, thats all we do. Why? Because there is nothing else to do. You may be thinking we're nerds, well we may be, but you have to understand there is a certain degree of helplessness to our situations. Most of us don't have a car and for those of us that do there really is nowhere for us to go. I for one do not have a car on campus and it kinda sucks. Melissa takes me everywhere, yet as much as I appreciate it I wish I could return the favor for her. I think that since I love her more than anything, that that makes up for it.
I think that this summer will be different, but will remain the same too. I think that I will be working a lot more, but because of that fact I will strive to make my friendships stronger. I think if I really try to work at my friendships things will work out great. Now if only I can figure out what to do about the whole working thing...hmmm.
