Another Medicated Night

I am mostly sure that my illness is over with. As a precautionary measure I have ingested a recommended dosage of medicine.

Today I worked five hours and almost had the terrible misfortune of working another four tonight. Thanks to an understanding coworker, I was able to sidestep the more painful shift.

With my free time I was productive. I did homework. I watched a tv show. I watched a movie.

As an interesting bit of news, I was informed today that BYU has awarded me half-tuition scholarships for both Spring and Summer semesters. I will not be attending either semester so it does me no good but it certainly was nice to know they thought well enough of me to offer me money to stick around.

Once again some people are in my living room at an indecent hour watching a movie and an ear-shattering volume displaying an utter disregard for the rest of us who live here. I guess it's something I'll not have to deal with in a few months. I don't think Molly will sit in our living room watching Newsies while I'm trying to sleep. At least I hope not.

Let's try another song. My eyelids are closing involuntarily so I will of course rewrite the words to reflect my current state. I'll go with John Denver's classic "Take Me Home Country Road."

Almost midnight, Provo, Utah

Blessed roommates don't respect the curfew

I'm feeling tired, want to go to sleep

But they're still watching movies

Driving me crazy

Medicine, do your best

Give me sleep, give me rest

Because tomorrow, I've got classes

Do your best, medicine

Thank you and goodnight.
