Let's Hear It For Nights Off!

Today is a much better day than yesterday.

To start with, my Philosophy paper, though somewhat if-y, is done and turned in and out of my hands. Thank goodness. One more day with that hanging over my head and I was going to lose it.

The headache that has been hanging around for roughly two weeks is slightly less in my face than yesterday. I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's the bottled water. Is it possible there's something in it that my body is saying, "no no no" to?

To top it all off, tonight I don't work because I'm going to go see Ngugi wa Thiong'o talk about his new book Wizard of the Crow. I'm excited. Author events, especially those that are free and on campus, are generally interesting. Last year I got to see bell hooks and that was pretty amazing.

Besides that I had a really nice talk with Neesha last night and that always cheers me up.

Tomorrow I'm planning on completely slacking off after my advising appointment. YEA WEEKEND.

Nice about Ngugi! I read a Grain of Wheat and it was pretty intense. I was sad that you got to see bell hooks. And every year Maya Angelou speaks at SU and I always miss it.

Have you been drinking anything with Splenda? Splenda gives me a headache like no other.

I checked a couple of his books out from the library but haven't gotten the chance to really look at them yet. After tonight's reading I'm going to have to go out and buy his new book though. It was kind of awesome.

I had no idea that Maya Angelou is ever on campus. Why am I out of the loop?

Nope, no Splenda as far as I know. I've been trying to think diet-wise what has changed and the only thing was the type of bottled water I bought. However, I really think it's just a sinus thing that's been sticking around because of where the pain's located. But you never know.
