So I’m sitting here with one of the worst head colds that I’ve had in a while.

I believe it was the year before last I had an upper repository infection which so hardcore sucked, I can’t even put it into words.

This cold thing isn’t that bad, but in my mind it might as well be. I get headaches randomly, I can’t really breath, and I can’t stay asleep for more than a few hours.

Yay two year olds… You know sometimes not sharing is caring…

Aside from that things are going ok.

I can feel myself wearing down with not having my own room or a space to recharge.

Today was the most alone time I’ve had since I got here, and the only really I got it was because I was too sick to go sledding with everyone.

I’m supposed to be using this time to work on homework, but that’s really the last thing I want to try to muscle through. This is going to destroy my 4.0 gpa.

And even with the alone time thing… Nathan is still here watching TV and randomly making conversation with me when I clearly have my headphones in and we talked about how I needed to focus on my tutorials, and the dogs, who click click click around the wooden floor.

My brother’s house is super open, so sound carries really well. It doesn’t help that I am super sensitive to sound, so the simple act of someone breathing in the next room can bother me if I’m trying to focus and tune people out.

It’s not that I don’t want to be here… I just don’t want to be around anyone for a little while.

It’s always so hard to explain to people who don’t already understand the feeling. It’s like trying to explain color to a blind person.

I just need some silence for a few hours. Some relaxing time on my own.

I’m going to need a vacation from my vacation.

A slight update on the trip aside from me QQing about it.

I watched Maleficent finally. It was a pretty interesting take on the story. Can’t say it was my favorite movie though. We played Taboo and Munchkin last night. The family photo’s are done, so I should have updated pictures soon with my super short hair. Lio did her nationalization ceremony so she’s officially an American.

And really that’s about it for yesterday.

I was supposed to try to go to the Strip tonight with John and Nathan, but I’m so not feeling the whole drinking thing right now. Unless it’s really warm tea.

I don’t think I’m going to get to see any of my friend from California, either.

I might go try to nap again. Another headache is coming on. So lame. I hope this goes away soon.
