Well, pretty sure the culmination of the symptoms of my cold concludes that I have been infected with the (seasonal? hopefully) flu. As such, I stayed home with a sore throat, back and neck aches, congestion/runny nose, coughing, a headache, chills, and fatigue. Only things left to list, fever and vomiting/diarrhea and I'd have the full package!
On the upside, I got to sit around all day in sweats comfy and cozy watching Skins (for sure one of my top 5 television shows). And my new snowboard comes tomorrow. My first paycheck of the season, for a grand total of $7.30 after taxes, has me geared up for work to start. On-snow training clinic scheduled for this weekend, hopefully I feel up for it. Also, got to miss out on a day of English 101 with the teacher who, in my opinion, tries to live vicariously through the students and relive his glory days of the 60s (while the class supposedly teaches English composition, the class boils down to watching documentaries about the 60s, writing BS essays about the 60s, and "peer" reviewing said BS essays). I despise the old man, how any respectable English teacher can have no appreciation for writing in e prime escapes me. He also thinks I use a thesaurus while praising papers which have few random big words dispersed among elementary being verbs for their advanced vocabulary. While this argument would be valid had I misused the words in question, I didn't. All of the words he claimed I took from a thesaurus were used correctly and in a meaningful manner, not just thrown in for the sake of having them. Besides, I don't think there are many/any thesauruses with the words xenogamy or xiphoidic since they have their base in Greek. I believe he just dislikes the fact that I made him use a dictionary.
