What a week, I started my first day of "college" January 2nd, except the day before I started school my son came down with what seems to be a 24 hour flu. No biggie, got him feeling better, dropped him off at his dad's and went to school. The first class I have to take is English Composition. It's a two hour class starting at 7:30 a.m. M-F, for six weeks. Thankfully I like English and writing so it should be a breeze for me. Anyways, my instructor seems pretty nice which will make the time pass by quickly.

Wednesday I ended up coming down with what my son had earlier in the week, which wasn't fun at all. I didn't get much sleep, couldn't keep anything down, coughing, and runny nose. Needless to say I missed school Thursday because I wasn't feeling all that well still and I didn't wanna bring whatever I had to the rest of the class. I ended up sleeping most of the day away on my couch while my son played and climbed all over me. When my mom got home from work her and I discussed whether or not I should return to school on Friday or not. We came to the conclusion that I should stay home and get completely well before returning to class. I wouldn't be doing myself any justice by re-infecting myself (most of the class is coughing and sneezing like I was) and risk again getting them sick with what I have. So, I ended up e-mailing my teacher explaining to her that I was sick with the flu which is why I had missed class. I also asked if she could tell me what I had missed during my absence so that I can complete the assignments by Monday and turn them in. I think that I like college better, because in High School, you didn't have the option to e-mail your teacher and get your missed assignments in a timely manner so you can do them before you return to class. It's easier and more convenient for the student. So, since I didn't have to get up at 5:45 in the morning, I broke down and took some Nyquil last night and I actually got a full nights rest, without waking up a dozen times in the middle of the night. When I woke up this morning I felt better than I have in the past couple days despite still being sick. Checked my e-mail, got the assignments from my teacher and am ready to get busy on them so I'm not to far behind in class.

Who knows maybe tomorrow I will be feeling a whole lot better so I can go out drinking for a little bit because my Birthday is on Sunday and I haven't went out in at least 6 months. It'd be nice to escape the drama I have been through over the past months, kick back and relax with my friends. Have a few laughs and dance the night away.
