If anyone’s missed me at school recently – in classes, around the common room, or, most likely, when they were handing out 40^th anniversary cupcakes – you’ll notice that I’ve been ill for the past seven days or so.

What have I been up to? Well, to be honest, not very much. ‘Sitting around, being sick’ is one of those things. But that’s not all (ooh, doesn’t that sound exciting now). Here’s a ‘live’ blog post, albeit not logging details of today’s day off to clue you in – rather, Monday’s, because I thought I’d be able to get to school today. So, if you like, this shall be my Twitter for the day.

Please keep in mind that there are three intervals within the day where I am on fever and pain meds, thus being even more moronic than usual.

 Here we go.

3 AM: Awoke. Spritzed throat spray into mouth. I can take four squirts every 90 minutes. Hurrah.

4:30 AM: Awoke. Same reason as above.

6:00 AM: Awoke. Okay, you get the point. I should stop interrupting this post every hour and a half.

7:30 AM: I’m up. Is that kimchi in the fridge? I want to eat this…

7:35 AM: Regretfully turned towards the fruit bowl instead. Ooh, I have a newfound way of cutting apples in perfect symmetry. I must demonstrate one day.

11:00 AM: Added finishing touches to (read: opening a new file) my Bio write-up. Yep, back to the good old days of writing forty pracs a year for Biology. Squash a root tip, do a prac. Breathe for five minutes, do a prac. Do a prac, do a prac. Ugh.

12:00 PM: The results are too anomalous for me to conclude anything. This is clearly not my fault.

12:05 PM: I’m eating. I like eating.

12:55 PM: I just realised that I haven’t been posting exact timestamps but rather rounding to the nearest five minutes. Good job, sickness.

1:00 PM: Look, Char! I’m wearing your T-shirt!

Mmm. Ketchup.

1:05 PM: Found and downloaded a PDF of 6400 printable Sudoku puzzles. I feel that this is an acceptable alternative to studying for C1 and C2 (it utilises deductive logic, after all. This is probably the only thing I learned from 6 weeks of Statistics).

2:45 PM: Sudoku is addictive.

4:50 PM: Went on Facebook. I never go on Facebook. When I type in the letter ‘F’ in the Firefox address bar, the first two entries are … yes, ‘Fans of the Animorphs’ and ‘FML’. Then it’s Facebook.

5:20 PM: OH HEY, ANDREW LEE LOOKS JUST LIKE ARTHUR LEE. This is seriously the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Stand 10m away and squint a little.

7:45 PM: I was so surprised to see my parents completely unfazed by my coughing over dinner. Then I remembered that Mum never took Biology and Dad failed. Teehee.

…And I can’t remember anything after that. Anyone who was on MSN – or rather, iChat with me should enlighten us all.
