sick

I have been sick for almost a month now. I have a permanent cold, which gave way to a full-fledged cough--one that's mildly embarrassing when you're riding public transport, and extremely embarrassing in a conference, movie theater or concert. But I have to be thankful that I no longer have a fever most of the time.
So that is what's happening in my life these days. I largely attribute this to not being able to rest, as in really rest. But all that will change, hopefully.
Beginning Wednesday, I no longer have to substitute for Fykes so I am hoping that I will now have more time to sleep and build up my resistence. Ooooh, that sounds so health-magazinish.
After all, I need all the strength I could muster for my thesis, which incidentally, I have not yet begun to write. Thank you very much for the added pressure.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna go check some papers now.

getting better

I am actually beginning to enjoy my Art Appreciation class. I was too intimidated when i was first given the class that I was just panicky the whole time. Now, I'm getting more excited with the lessons and the discussions. My students, maybe because they're upperclass people, have very insightful comments, which leads to stimulating class discussions. Not to mention that I am finally being given the perfect opportunity to learn more about art, which is something I have always wanted to do.
