rodoThere are some days on which you'd better not get out of bed. And I just had a row of these.
Since last Thursday, to be precise. That was when I got this stupid cold. But that was not the main problem. The main problem was that I did not have time to properly cure it. Sit in bed, drink tea, do nothing, etc.
No, I had the worst timing ever. First, this weekend I had an important course I absolutely need , so I could not just not go. Which meant that I spent five hours on Friday and another five on Saturday in a much too small room on an unbelievably uncomfortable chair, in my thickest clothes, because I was so cold. I must have looked incredibly stupid, because everyone else was not wearing all that much.
On Sunday, finally, I wanted to study at least a bit for the Japanese mid-term exam, that as far as I know does not really count this time, but I felt bad not doing anything. In the end I did do nothing, because I simply could not concentrate on anything more intellectually challenging than the Pro7 documentaries about "The Truth behind Dan Brown's 'The da Vince Code'".
So of course, the exam... went. I filled out everything knowing my answers would probably be incredibly wrong, but hey, it's better than not writing anything. And I realized that my sense for Japanese grammar seemed to temporarily have left me. And I wasn't the only one who had that problem. My friends have colds too.
But the worst seems to be over. After the exam, I decided not to go to the tutorial and the lecture, which would both have been incredibly boring anyway (German literature of the late 19th and early 20th century.). And this morning I did not go to the Japanese courses so my brain seems to be almost in working mode. Yeah. Now I only have to do the homework for tomorrow. Oh, and I still have a lecture today, but I never pay attention anyway because I already know all 4 plus 2 meanings of the word "culture" and why it's such a difficult word.
On a lighter note, I finished the icons I wanted to make of some of the photos I made in Italy:
