Here is what I did today: Nothing. Last night's stupid attempt at an all-nighter failed miserably around 4:00 AM. Nothing I was writing was making sense. I crashed. When I woke up this morning, my nose was plugged and I couldn't breathe again, so I took a long hot shower to clear my sinuses. I had (and still have) a headache as a reward for trying to finish my essay so late into the night. And to top it all off, my ears started hurting insanely bad. I called my mum and whined for a few minutes. She thinks I might be getting an ear infection. As luck would have it, the doctor is out on Saturdays. Indie offered to try one of her family's herbal concoctions, and she poured it in my ear, and now my room smells like lavender and I feel sick to my stomach. I think I might need a blessing.

The worst part about being away from home is definitely when you get sick.

And my essay remains unfinished.

End of complaint.
