it's tuesday in these parts of the world. i am sitting here at my desk with a thermometer in my mouth. as of now my temp is 99.1 degrees fahrenheit. that's high. i average at 97.4 so this is pretty stinking high. sweet...i love being sick. i have had two midterms this week....one left that is tomorrow. i'm ready for the tests to be over. i really dislike them. one more midterm on monday then i start prepping for finals. that's all school is....get ready for a test, take the test, get ready for the next test. crazy crazy crazy. i have a big paper to write, but i'm not too worried about getting it done....it is on my personality. it should be fun. oh i never did write about my little encounter with a man named James in Starbucks on sunday afternoon. I was sitting at a table when a guy named James sat down with me. Before long I realized that this man was autistic maybe with aspergers or something similar. He reminded me of RainMan. He told me about how he had bone cancer and how it was causing him to be weak. he was a cool guy. he wanted someone to talk to and eventhough i was trying to get studying done, it was nice to just sit and talk with someone. hmmm. alright i suppose i should get back to reading....but i am going home this weekend! woo hoo! i'm excited. i miss my family and i get to see andrea on friday!! yay!! i miss you all...blessings
