dear my body,

this is really not a great week for you to get sick. maybe we can postpone this to next week? it's just, i have some really important musical events friday and saturday, and i just can't get sick. deal?

love,
a.jane

in other news, i am getting a cold. usually i can push all sickness off until the end of the semester and then just get sick all at once when my finals are over. as much as i hate the flu, right now is a less-good time to get sick.

also, what are the odds that when you really want one thing it turns out something you totally didn't expect is better? i guess it happens quite often.

another thing--maybe it wouldn't be so bad to stay in the area and go to school here.
