while the laundry is drying

so i am trying to be frugal and line dry my clothes instead of putting them in the dryer. i am proud of myself as it is much more work. the water in student village is turned off. i think i am going to head up to the library prior to taking a nap after i bring the laundry in.

here's the update, i have a "severe case of tonsilitis" according to the doctor on campus (a very nice lady, helped me with the broken cheek issue). this morning i was basically crying in pain trying to get a glass of water down. the good news is that she hooked me up with some pain killers and penicillin. i have to say i am still not seeing the benifits of having tonsils. but madre would be proud of me as i had some soup earlier (even though i am not a huge soup fan). i think i'll steal some of zane's eggs and have an omlet tonight. i am actually starving as i didn't eat the other days.

i tried to take a nap (you'd think not sleeping for a few days would make me pass out right?) but i still am too uncomfortable to fall asleep. i figure i'll just press on and have a real good sleep this evening. glad i don't have classes monday and tuesday. i'm very excited for wednesday because either madre's package or my CD from england will be showing up (well maybe not till friday but i can start hoping wednesday). i love mail, especially madre mail because it usually comes with candy and oatmeal type goodies.

so surprisingly i am quite upbeat, currently jamming to some music and debating that trip to the library. i guess when the morning is hell rotten the day can only get better. so thanks to willie for the trip to the chemist and food store, thanks for the "get better soons" and no worries, i'll be alright.

oh and sat. i got to go to the footie. it was a derby, meaning freo vs. westcoast. westcoast eagles are basically perth's team and fremantle dockers are the suburb of perth's team. the stadium was packed and the game was pretty much tied up until the last 2 minutes. a very good time experiencing the australian rules football. so swollen throat or not, i'm having a good time down under. check out flickr for the footie photos!
