Help! My lungular tubes have been dishonorably invaded by a gang of irritating microbial jerkanisms. They make me wheeze and cough and clear my throatial area with repugnant sounds that attract unwanted attention. I guess this makes me as sick as everyone else on campus. I really hope leprosy never gets a foothold here. Wash your hands, Tewksbury

jon, i've discovered you in livejournal-land. this is robyn, ahoy there!

bard is a cesspit of disease, these past few days have had me wanting to wrap myself in plastic and go around spraying antiseptics at passersby. i recommend cranberry juice, as it cures everything from snakebite to cholera (at least it does on the oregon trail...)

while i know that praise from other people tends not to make a difference when one is feeling throughly down about oneself, i think that you're a marvelous and interesting individual with an excellent sense of humour and many snazzy teeshirts. you're great, so there.

On your advice I have pruchased cranberry juice and I have also been drinking a lot of water.

I accept your praise with minimal hesitation. I like the way your nose scrunches up when you laugh at my jokes, so I'll keep making them for you.

Thanks, ladyface.

This story is all too familiar to me. I live it, my friends live it (I have a friend who still has work to turn in for last semester). Professors really must have the patience of saints in dealing with people like us, the somewhat-unmotivated-intelligent-procrastinating-perfectionistic student. Lorb knows I try to keep my work in order, but I feel like faltering just once brings an avalanche. Lorb save us all.

Dear ENRAGED FETUS,

On account of the following:

1. A flattering comment left in an lj entry of the past of mine

you are thus required to be my new best friend.

Sup?

Love,
Miji
