sleepless night

I can't sleep. It's 3 AM and I'm still staring at the ceiling, vainly trying to count the cute little piggies jumping over my head. I have too much on my mind. I keep thinking about school and my classes and exams. I haven't been to UP in over a week now, thanks to an ill-timed medical disorder. Appendicitis has cost me 6 days of school, 6 meetings of German 10, 3 meetings each of my other subjects, my first German exam, my first Econ 106 problem set, and God knows what else. The opportunity cost of the past week is just as staggering. Instead of being cooped up at home I could have learned more. I could have gotten the readings for Kas 112. I could have done lots of things, but no, I had to stay at home or risk having a relapse which would then force me to stay out of school for a much longer time. Normally I would have fireworks popping in the air at having to miss school but the prospect of a possible forced drop and the hassle of having to catch up with my classes has put storm clouds over my sky. There's the keyword right there: HASSLE. I hate having to play catch up and I hate to run around after my professors. I already have too much to do this semester and having to catch up doesn't help matters! Oh, what I would give for a good SCREAM!

Haaay... Calm down... Remember your blood pressure... Breathe... Always look on the bright side of life... Whew... Yeah, the bright side. It could have been worse; I could be dead now if something had gone wrong that fateful Monday. And costs aside, I got a two week vacation in July! That's good, look at the bright side. Hehe... The bright side... I do hope everything is bright when I FINALLY(hopefully) return on Thursday.
