Ah I can't take it my throat is KILLING me. I'm such a baby about sore throats but I just can't take it! I haven't been sick since the summer either and I was managing to stay well despite all the sickness EVERYWHERE..geez people may as well just cough straight into your mouth. LOL..ok end rant.

Well being sick is a big bummer because tonight I have to go to Tampa (big big city 1hr north) with my friend from school as we entered this competition for IIDA (an International organization for Interior Designers that we have a student chapter of at school - it's one of those things you put after your name on business cards and stuff that makes you more qualified or something - it's basically a way for designers to network and stuff) So anyhow each year they have an Incredible Edible competition where you have to make furniture, or architecture or whatever out of food (which is RIGHT up my alley) and then they have this big party with drinks and fancy food and the contest so that's all tonight. And apparently it's mostly professionals that enter and go so it's a GREAT opportunity to do some networking and hopefully find some contacts for my internship in January. Well now I'm going to be drowsy and stuffy and just plain gross!

Then on top of that, my friend Nicki with leukemia has been in Tampa at the big cancer center for her Bone Marrow transplant since January and the last time I saw her was for a bit in December right before she left. Well now she's at a safe point where she can have some visitors but you have to be so careful that no one is sick obviously because she could get pnemonia and it'd be awful. Well I've thanked my lucky stars that every other time I've gone to see her I haven't been sick and not able to go, well she's been so down lately since she's been couped up in this tiny room for months now and still has 1 to go and so we were going to stop by and see her tonight since we'll be up there and NOW I CAN'T GO! So frustrating.

Okay sorry, just had to rant about that. Going back to bed to watch TV or read a book now. Hope everyone else is feeling much better than me!
