Some Mid-Afternoon Thoughts

Well, here I am, lying in the big bed with my stuff spread all around, computer on my lap, trying to accept the fact that it's finally a nice day outside and I can't enjoy it. Because my body is fighting off samples of three - sometimes deadly - diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella.

I stayed home yesterday for the whole day, and I thought I felt well enough to come to school today, so I decided to be a fighter and go for it...but I didn't start feeling better once I got to school; which I usually do - friends cheer me up. So I called my dad and he picked me up a little after lunch. The whole ride home, I put the seat back, laid back and closed my eyes, and listened to the tape my dad was playing of a class about how the brain learns. It was actually very interesting; and more enjoyable since I didn't have to worry about remembering any of the information. Once home, I retreated to this bedroom where I've been since - watching Glee on our new, HDTV with Internet, slowly wading through a math worksheet that I just found out is for extra practice, and watching YouTube videos made by two awesome brothers that Cora told me about. I'm much happier now...but still feeling kind of sick.

Seeing as it's quite difficult for me to form a whole string of thought, I'll just write some random things that have come to mind recently...if they don't make any sense...well, don't be surprised.

1.) I bumped against the TV when I was walking back to the bed a few minutes ago, and boy did it hurt! I didn't stop to marvel at the pain though, just kept going... I guess I bump into things so often now that I've become sort of immune to it.

2.) One of the only reasons (and singularly most important) that I went to school today was to present the video about charity: water to the middle school. I wanted to be a part of telling everyone about the project since it's important to me! But guess what??

The sound didn't work out. That is such an annoying reason. So i was really bummed.

Yeah, okay it ultimately sucked.

3.) It's times like these when I need to turn to the AWESOME things in the world, like Harry Potter, grapes, tea, soft pillows, or VlogBrothers YouTube videos (whose entire goal, pretty much, is increasing awesome - I'll explain more later).

4.) I haven't had Chinese food in too long.

5.) God, I seriously can't finish a thought! Today at school I was always afraid that I would open my mouth and hibbly-gibbly nonsense would come out.

6.) Is hibbly-gibble actually, like, a known term? Or only in Mollie-land?

7.) I was wondering last night... Is there a scientific or psychological reason that certain songs get stuck in our heads? Or is the tune just catchy? And what's the reason - scientifically - that those tunes are catchy?

8.) Yeah, I can't even answer the question of whether or not I want salad. Something's messed up here...

Okay, I'm pretty proud of myself! I can think enough to write that, at least... So let's hope I feel better! I don't want to miss school tomorrow! It'll be a fun day - it's Grandparents' Day in the morning (which means a totally messed up schedule and shortened classes) and Spring Fling all afternoon! Right now that actually sounds totally miserable, seeing as I don't do well in situations that are supposed to be happy when I'm sad...but hopefully I'll be happy!
