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.
