Thrice warmed over ass with a generous helping of ooginess on the side

And in a stunning display of bad timing, my sinuses have apparently decided that the most stressful week of the semester would be a great time to stage a hostile takeover of my face. I was hoping that a dose of NyQuil coupled with a good night's sleep would scare the buggers into behaving themselves, but no go. Woke up to clogged sinuses, ears that won't pop correctly, a scratchy throat, and a stomach that does not at all appreciate the gallons of snot currently seeping into it. Was also incidentally soaked in sweat, but I'm guessing that was due to the sauna that is my room rather than to a fever. I got to work more than 15 minutes late because everything took like three times longer than it should have as I was getting ready.

The plan was to work on my KidLit paper between finishing this shift at 3 and starting my photocopy shift at 6, but it seems increasingly likely that I'll go home and collapse into bed instead. One day longer to write my paper, one day less to study for Criminology. If I want this semester to be over so badly, why do I keep drawing it out as long as possible?

I have just been alerted to the fact that the full time staffers have had their fill at the Christmas party, which means I get to go pick through the leftovers to see if I can find something to eat that doesn't make my stomach clench up in protest.

Ciao. Or, more appropriately, Chow.
