Oh the joys of ears!

Guttentag! Long time no converse, ay? 


Well, last semester is all finished and I am in the midst of winter break, getting ready for a day of errands with my favorite (and only) sibling. And I feel like a hundred dollars today! Know why? Well, frankly, because I can hear once more. I had a darn pesky cold which had me in a virtual aquarium and last night the ear pressure finally ca-putted and I feel like a new human! And my brain is working today too! Oh the joy!


Right now I am just going to relate a motto that has kept me sane for many eons: Always, I repeat, always carry a book. You never know when you might get stuck overnight in a train station with nothing to do but twiddle your thumbs and draw designs in the dust of the concrete floor. Books are a much more enjoyable means of passing time.
