I'm dealing with two ear infections right now; both are in my left ear, one is a middle ear infection and the other is swimmer's ear. It's been loads of fun, let me tell you. I stayed home yesterday from work, and am back today, though I can tell you that after work I will be headed straight home to pop some tramadol, throw a pizza in the oven and ( Read more... )

I hate/love you all, Canadian friends ;)

So I have this Big Ass Paper due tomorrow. Actually, it's not that huge - only five pages, I've certainly had to write much, much longer ones - but since the deadline is looming, it's what I'm focused on. The course is "Intermediate Expository Writing," and the ONLY requirement for the paper is that it must be about a person. Living or dead, famous ( Read more... )
