My cold's finally getting better – now hopefully I won't have just jinxed it by saying that. I had thought I was doing okay on Wednesday, but then I wasn't feeling so great in the afternoon. Then yesterday I did go to school, but I only stayed until 3rd period so I could go to Greek for review (my last class ever with Katie! I was so sad!), then spent much of the rest of the day miserable on the couch. But today I finally felt actually good, or at least definitely did not feel bad, and I actually spent the whole day at school and had fun and didn't have a fever. Still stuffed up and my voice is shot, but at least I can breathe now!

It's actually a really convenient week for me to be sick. There are exams next week, so I'm not actually missing anything when I'm not there, and thus I also have no homework to do in the evenings. If this were in either of the last two years, I'd be stressed to death, but this year there's nothing for me to worry about – I just have English, Astronomy, and Greek finals, none of which is exactly alarming. Greek I'm going to have to review for a lot, just because it's a lot of stuff and conjugations and declensions and vocabulary, but I'm not actually worried about it. I've gotten pretty good at sight-reading lately.

Dr. Jones and I actually spent our last Greek class of the year today (Katie wasn't here) talking about H.P. Lovecraft and Lord of the Rings and comparing literary media and only barely doing any review. It was very fun...

The White Witch is my favorite character in all the Narnia books.

Iron Man has an awesome soundtrack. Hearing some of it made me actually want to go see the movie (I almost never go to movies; maybe twice a year), and Youri and I decided to go see it after exams.

You folks are going to love what I'm working on right now. You won't see it until summer, but here's a hint: it's from 2002. (Those who know what it is aren't allowed to tell. )

I told you this would be random.
