Sickness

I have two tests next week that I need to study for, and I'm sick. Since my throat has been hurting, I thought I would share my remedy for itchy throats:

Tea with honey and lemon juice. Cayenne pepper can be added, but it tastes horrible. Although the pepper doesn't taste very good, the combination of all three anti-inflammitory ingredients has never failed me.

Competition Ends

Alas, my rival has quit our little competion, so I am free to roam the web once more.

It would be nice to be gaming right now, but instead, I've got a paper to write on A Rose for Emily.

Reduced Screen Time

I have temporarily reduced my screen time. Zelda, AIM, Guild Wars, and Social Moth are only tolerable escapes for so long. E-mail, or anything work or school related is permitted. I label blogging as work. That said, if you were wondering why I've vanished from the online realm, you now know.

I'm not sure how long my experiment will continue, as it has become a competition between my friend and I. Knowing her, I'll probably win.

E.G. and I.E.

It seems to be a common misconception that I.E. means "In Example." It doesn't.

I.E. is from the Latin id est, which translates to "that is."

E.G. is the equivalent of "for the sake of example."

Aww... no hugs.

It's Free Hugs day, and I've forgotten my sign. I've got two consecutive three hour classes to look forward to in about half an hour. For some reason, I'm feeling just fine. I probably shouldn't be, but I am.

Free Hugs!

Next Monday (09/10/07) is Free Hugs Day. Check out the forum at http://www.freehugscampaign.org/ for a gathering in your area, grab some markers and make some signs, and hug a few strangers.



Unfortunately, I have nearly six consecutive hours of class that day, but maybe I'll carry a sign around campus with me. If not, I'll do it on another day.
