Hugs, Alera.
OK. A couple bits of good news. #1, my friend is doing a bit better. They found an anti-biotic that seems to work (the first 5 or 6 didn't... resistant bacteria). So at least that's a bit less stress.
And... ta-da! I got my first exam score back for the semester. 97.65%. I love me not on dope. I'm so much more awesome. LOL
So I was in class when the Olympics originally aired earlier and I'm watching the rerun now. Shaun White, a snowboarder, flubbed his run on a qualifier for half-pipe snowboard (no worries, his score was high enough he didn't need it to be in the final). Other people made little flubs and the announcers didn't think it was strange. Shaun White made one and immediately they discussed that it may be deteriorating snow conditions due to the weather. No one else got an excuse. LOL that sort of stuff annoys me.
