So I've spent the day popping tyenol and trying to get work done. I've been somewhat successful but I"m finding with the head pain it's hard to concentrate on one thing for too long so I haven't gotten much done. But at least I can say goodbye to my OGS application, and begin praying that I win one. If I win an OGS my life becomes substantially easier. Actually everything becomes substantially easier next year when all I have is my thesis and no courses to deal with. I'm just happy that despite my sickness I managed to complete my application.
This leads to me wonder how much of our body is partially controlled by our mind. I said as off hand comment on the weekend "I'm probably going to get sick after all this" and then I did. Was I foreshadowing my own fate? Being rational? Or did I somehow cause myself to get sick? People always talk about how powerful the human mind is... Why is then that I can't will myself to get better faster? Is there perhaps something humans are missing out on? If we only use 5% of our brain or 10% (I can't remember the actual number) if we could harness more could we cure ourselves. As we study more and more of the human brain perhaps we'll find that the cure to cancer or the common cold were up there all along. Or perhaps we'll just realize that the more we know, the less the world makes sense.
So what caused my sickness? I'm pretty sure the reason I'm sick is the lack of sleep, un-healthy eating and the copious amount of liquor consumed on the weekend... And I'll partially blame the rain. I think it was worth it. If all I have to suffer through is a few days of sickness, so be it.
Bring it on brain, and then once you think you've won... I'll drink some more liquor and mess you up again.
Cheers to Homecoming, good friends, the QP and everything else that makes being sick worthwhile!

I would say that the power of the mind is unlimited.
And damn you guys look old.
Yeah, y'all look old, and apparently I look 32.... What's this world coming to? Have we all aged so quickly after departing from the Queen's bubble?
Best cure for sickness: Not believing that you're sick.
Some guy in Spain thought I was 28.
*sigh*
And I think its best to get a little sick all the time to keep your immune system in order.
That's why I never cleaned that bathroom.
I thought the reason you never cleaned the bathroom was because you were lazy?
No. That's not true. I'm not lazy.
(still don't have a job)
