And so it goes....--Wednesday, March 21

As I write this, I feel almost ill. I just ate a big bowl of spicy ramen noodles and it really isn’t sitting well. I figured my body probably knew what it was about when it was rejecting them as I put them in my stomach, but silly me….I didn’t listen. Also, it was probably stupid to push myself to take a big walk today. I was just trying to counter my natural tendency toward hypochondriacism, but alas…unsuccessful. I essentially lost my voice about halfway through my first class today, coughed like a TB patient, and drank a gallon of tea. It’s been not even cloudy, but just gray for a week now. Life is…going. And now I've infected my poor family...it sounds like a symphony of coughs over here!
