get down with the sickness

After landing and getting off the plane on Wednesday, I noticed that I couldn't hear out of my right ear. Not only that, but it was massively swollen and even bleeding a little bit. My mum was, and still is, convinced I was bitten by some foreign bug in New Zealand, but either way I am now on antibiotics (keflex) to get it gone. In the process, I have managed to get sick, probably from my sister (thanks for nothing!) and was barely alive for my classes today. I ditched out of work an hour early even. I'm exhausted and don't know why I am still awake. I hate being sick.

I did manage to get to zumiez today and buy a new snowboarding jacket which I probably shouldn't have, but I love spending money. Plus, it was on sale! It's a DC and has more "features" than I ever knew existed on a mere jacket. I can't wait to be able to go snowboarding again!!! I am so so so very excited! I must have waxed my board 10 times since last season :-/ I just want to get school over and done with. I'm dreading finals after missing a week of classes and lectures, but I'm so glad I made it back in time for the "dead week" of review. After that... I am snowboarding every day this break if I possibly can. I'm working in Chico, but my roommate also has a cabin in Dunsmuir (25 min. from the mountain) which is going to have an open door policy for us.

Plus, it was good to be missed. It's a good feeling when people are happy to have you return.
