So Much for Cure

I had two basically fantastic days, Thursday and Friday, with exception for some phlegm and coughing. I felt wonderful, alert, going strong, active minded, et cetera.

Today is a completely different story, and I am hoping that it's not related to this flu. I've now had it for 10 days, and I had hoped that everything was shaken off, but last night was not a good night sleeping. I had been in a chair downstairs for the last 6 days or so and last night was the first that I decided to try sleeping in my bed, and that left me coughing much of the night. So partially because of that, I'm tired and somewhat woozy. I'm getting a headache which I think is due to this front coming in, and I'm having more coughing and phlegm than yesterday. It may just be a downswing from weening off the drugs (which I now refuse to take again--I'm pretty much behind in everything, and I don't need to complicate things by taking Dimetapp or anything like that). I may sit outside for a while today, because it is a quite nice day.

School is looking somewhat brighter. I got 20 out of 20 on my last two genetics labs, but a 9/10 on my last quiz, because I could not remember for the life of me what a cloning vector did. And again, there is the fantastic success that accompanied my recent biostats test that I can't even remember taking.

This weekend is largely devoted to trying to get ahead on my thesis stuff. I had hoped last weekend to finish my research, however, the flu limited that. I don't think I'll get to writing any more of it this weekend, as I have 11 books to go through, but I do hope for progress, assuming that my mind doesn't collapse under this wooziness.

I'm starting to get cautiously more optimistic about most of my grades. Most, but not all. Thesis is the big exception.

However, I'm not as phased about getting a B or an A- as I used to be. If I were to get straight A's except for a B in thesis, my overall GPA would still be 3.98, and if I got an A-, then I would have a 3.99. That's a GPA I can live with, even if it's not 4.0.

Meh, I really don't feel like talking much more anymore. Back to work.
