So I haven't been updating much. I think it's because it's summer. Things are quiet. I don't have dolphin pictures to post, because I haven't been working for like, two weeks. And I'm glad I haven't, because I'm still sick. I have this cough that just won't go away. I went through a bottle of cough syrup. I've been getting 12 hours of sleep and drinking 90-100 oz of water a day for the past three or four days at least, and I'm still sick. Yeah, it's time to go to a doctor.

Follow up: I used up 2/3 of my frequent flier (actually, AAmerican Advantage) miles on plane tickets to get to Jade's wedding. Raccoon said that I should do what I had to, so I got sane flight times, leaving Fri morning getting back Mon afternoon. Wheel can't come, but whatever. I'll be there. I'll spend the fourth here, where I can go down to the bay front with my friends and watch the fireworks (because I know that I'd be lucky to see fireworks on TV at my parents' or Jades'). Jade is tough to get ahold of. Lll.

Note: flying is

even more unhealthy than I realized. I'd better be better by then.

Have I mentioned, Wheel and I have been replaying Sierra On-line classics for summer entertainment? We've gone through Kings Quest 1 (original make), 2, 3, 4, and 5 (the first time I've heard it with the voice acting). We're half way through 6 now. Very comforting/entertaining.

Also, we found a place to live for the rest of the year. It's very nice. More on it later, I'm sure.

I hate being sick. Gillian hates being around sick people, so even though I got all this time off (sort of), I haven't seen her. I hate that too. I think about her every day. I thought for sure I'd be better by now. I haven't seen her since graduation.

That's about it. Really there's not much to say here. I sleep a lot. When I'm not sleeping, I'm doing something that involves sitting or lying around. I spend a lot of time studying/practicing four or five of those things I spend my spare time studying/practicing. Play computer games. Watch movies. Make efforts to accomplish things. Get called in to work for a few hours to label slides (I finally did orientation, too). Sleep some more. Get depressed that I can't hop on my bike and go to the beach or the library. Get depressed that I can't go work in Gillian's office all day. Get depressed that I have no energy.

Yeah, it's exciting.

No, wait.

It's not.
