Pendulum

The professor babbling at the front of the classroom had morphed into a pendulum as he walked from one side of the classroom to the other. It seemed as though a gunshot wouldn't keep my eyes from slowly drifting downwards, shutting off the world from my consciousness. As the fact I was eye level, sitting in the middle of the room with raised seating, with the prof I pulled myself back together. But as soon as he continued to drone on about writing I felt my overtired brain begin to ooze out my ears. I attempted to guess what words he was going to write on the board next, only to find I was wrong numerous times, creating a jumble of scribbled out words on my notes.
...And I'd been terrified of coming to this class?
Only did I realize the reason my mind was so far out in space and my lids were attempting to close up on themselves later today when I was sitting downtown waiting for the bus to head home from coffee. That awful feeling back in the base of your nose (or your sinuses) that tickles and slightly hurts as you draw breath in through your nostrils began to sink down into my throat. The cold (or as they say here "flu") had caught me. The one that'd consumed my friends' bodies this past week had been passed onto myself and now I sit here with a hot cup of tea and my eyes hardly open writing this.
Once again a hurricane is upon us. Tomorrow morning we will be bracing against tropical storm winds and flooding rains. Personally I could care less at this point. I don't have class till later tomorrow afternoon and all I care about right now is getting a ton of sleep. Classes are beginning to take over my life and the work load is slowly piling up as I stall more and more. The coming of this cold won't be of any help at all as I get wonky when I'm sick and can hardly remember my roommates' names. However I did want to update you all and say classes are wonderful and I think I may enjoy this semester thoroughly.
I felt like this video was necessary....story of my life:
