Sick as a Dog

So Sunday evening I went over to the other side of the house to play some rounds of Super Smash Brothers Melee with Bishop and Toes, but when I went back to my side, I started to feel that familiar tickle and ache in my throat that signaled and oncoming malady.

Over the next few days I was alternately completely laid out and unable to do anything, or just barely functioning enough to attend a class or two before crashing. It was particularly nasty because every other day I felt like I was on the verge of kicking it, but then I started to spiral down again the next day and had to cancel all my plans.

And of course, this weekend is the UCD Fencing Tourney, which I'm having to miss such that I might get better faster. I'm hoping to be able to be well enough to attend the team events Sunday, but I honestly don't know how I'm gonna feel when the time comes.

In other news, classes are going as well as can be expected. The Baroque Ensemble is going to have it's performance on the 29th, and I've got rehearsals for it Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week, so that should be fun. The upshot is that we're performing some pieces that feature the fantastic bass singer who joined the EME last year for the Rossi Oratorio (the bass that made Anja's Cello strings vibrate in sympathy when he sang). It looks to be neat, but we've got a lot of music to cover between now and then.

Other than that, everything is fine and dandy. My parents will be coming up to feed me chicken soup and get me more medicine, and I'm just gonna take it easy. I'm a little worried about the shindig that will be happening tonight, namely in the amount of people coming and how late it will go. We'll get to that when I comes, I suppose.


Enough, More Later.
