Florida’s Stupid Temperature Changes

February 19, 2008   Filed Under: College, Sick, Weather   172 words

I’ve managed to catch another cold…despite all the Vitamin C I’ve been consuming lately. I’ve had plenty of homemade smoothies with real fruit, as well as other healthy (but yummy) delicacies. I’ve been sick since Sunday morning. I’m wondering if it is allergies related to visiting the Everglades, but I really have no clue.

On a better note, I realized that my other proposal isn’t due until Thursday night. This has been a major blessing because I didn’t feel like doing anything yesterday because of the cold. I even skipped Chemistry class. I managed to make it to Biology class, although I was 10 minutes late. I think I got most of the notes, though.

I’m meeting with a few strangers from my online math class in a few hours so that we can just relax and do math. This will really help since I tend to not actually do work when I’m by myself or with friends. Working with these people will be positive motivation to get something accomplished.

Not Again!

I can’t believe I’m getting sick again! Just Christmas week I got the stomach virus….even though that only lasted for a day, it was still bad. Now, the crazy temperature changes have gotten to me and I have a runny nose and my throat is starting to feel sore. First thing tomorrow I’m going to buy Tylenol Severe Allergy. That stuff really works wonders. I’m gonna knock this cold out before it starts becoming a hindrance!

I also realize that the comparisons of 20^o in Florida to the temperatures in New York was an exaggeration. I’m used to the tropical climates of Jamaica and Florida, though, so I really don’t welcome this temporary cold weather. I can’t wait for it to be over!

Other than that, I bought two of my school books today. I still have to buy one more, and possibly a clicker (I’m going to search for it tomorrow because I definitely had one!), but it costs too much so I’ve bid on eBay for one and hope I get it. Bad thing is the auction’s not over for another 5 days. If anything, I’ll just do without it. I’m not going to pay $100+ for a psych book that I won’t read (I hardly ever do…) and can only resell for $30 (if I’m lucky) at the end of the semester. I also sold a book from last semester…got back some of my money!

2008 has been really peaceful for me so far. Nothing really interesting has happened, but nothing drastically bad has happened, either. I hope it stays this way!

Scratch That (The Agency)!

Okay, I’m not going to bother with the agency. I’ve got more advice from Shivon…and a comment from a few people (Nadiyya being one) advising me to be wary of shady agencies. I believe that God sends us signs…and I’m going to listen. I will still try out the modeling thing, though, but in the way that Shivon has suggested.

The people I babysit for are absolutely the coolest! Today, we went to Aventura Mall, where we had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. I didn’t have any cheesecake (they weren’t and I didn’t want to seem greedy), but I had a delicious plate of Four Cheese Pasta…even though I could have made it much better.

After reading Tai’s blog today, I remembered that I have to order my books for school. I order them online since the school’s bookstore has the stuff for 2-3 times as much (and sometimes 20x…once I got a used book for $5) and it takes a little while for them to come in. I recommend CampusBooks.com…they compare prices from all the major booksellers. Just a few weeks ago I was dying for school to end, but right now I can’t wait for school to start back. I haven’t learned much over the break and I’m starting to feel dumb.

The weather has been so awful here in Florida. It’s getting to New York temperatures, and quite frankly, I don’t like it! I can’t wait for these few days of super cold to be over…we’re in the 20 & 30 degrees right now! I travel with my blanket as if I were a baby!
