First week of school!

Classes started Monday! I managed to get my books bought on time. My art class seems cool, despite our first assignment to create a three-foot-tall cardboard sculpture representing our personalities. It should be a challenge, to say the least. I am in two other classes, both of which are anthropology. In one class on the first day, we watched Indiana Jones. I thought that was pretty funny.

On Monday morning, I woke up with a funny feeling in my nose and yesterday it turned in to a full-blown runny nose. Today my sinuses, ears, and lymph nodes were hurting so bad that I went to see a doctor at the school clinic. He gave me a strep test, which came back negative, and otherwise was really dismissive. I am convinced I need antibiotics for my lymph node infection, since that's what they gave me last time, but he refused to listen to me about that. So, I am hoping the pain and the rest of the stupid cold symptoms will go away in the next few days. It is so just my luck to get sick on the first day of school! If this entry seems lackluster, the sinus headache I'm experiencing is probably to blame.

My job is going well. I really love the kids I'm taking care of. The older one is really intelligent and I love talking to him, and the younger one is just plain adorable.

I don't have class until noon tomorrow so I could stay up late tonight if I wanted to, but I think I'm going to hit the hay nice and early to try to get this cold taken care of!
