School has certainly not gotten any faster in pace. There has actually been a slowdown for midterms of an already-snailing-pace through the basics. I'm now the unofficial tutor for four other classmates (anyone within a two-chair proximity of me). I suddenly have the 'guru' status for always having the answers and guidance to questions. And ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since an update. Now's a good time since I can't sleep due to this spontaneous and reoccurring fever that is just relentless with fucking with me this the week. The glands under my chin are raging and I have a thirst water seems unable to quench. I believe this is related to a health problem ongoing for over a year and I ( Read more... )
