last night after bowling i started feeling slightly queasy, and my body ached. last night i hardly slept at all. mom says i'm starting to come down with the flu. but here i am, at school. i was going to stay home and sleep, but then i remembered the drawing project i need to get started. my paper (teacher makes us use fancy paper) is at school though, and i don't have any classes tomorrow. so here i am, at school despite my acheness and chills.

on a sadder note, mom and ryan headed back to where my grandparents live to go to my great grandma's memorial service.
