Colds SUCK.

I'm going to make this as not-whiny as possible, but colds SUCK when you're trying to be productive. Especially when you play a wind instrument. When I try and play my clarinet while sick, I feel like I'm risking an aneurysm. Not a risk I'm willing to take today. On the upside, I had a great excuse to stay in the most comfortable clothes that I could, was not obligated to help paint the house (though I kind of wanted to), and all-in-all vegged out for a day. I guess it was a somewhat needed break from... summer?

Anyway, I DID do a whole German lesson today which was sehr gut in that I was finally taught how to conjugate verbs, which I kind of intuited from my general understanding of foreign languages. I mean, heck, I'm already figuring out past tense. These online courses need to know how to keep up with ME.

I did get to play Settlers of Catan when my brother's friends came over for dinner, and I have to say, I'm already hooked. Too bad nobody's going to want to play when I'm back at school. If only the people of the Internet could be within traveling distance!

I also spent a good few hours video editing for this gosh darn YouTube Girls song, of which I did *not* get to re-record the vocals on account of my pre-pubescent crackly voice today. Hopefully I can finish that in the next hour or so... hopefully...

So I guess all in all I have a few clouds, but all of them have silver linings. And I swear I'm going to give my best shot at saying something of substance tomorrow, but I don't know--I kind of like just being personal. I've generally not done that much on my channel. Who knows?

Time to tally up:

Sleep: X
Clarinet: O
German: X
Blogging: X

Side note: I realized today while editing the video, the numbered calendars are conspicuously present in a few shots, and they are completely empty. I've only been keeping tallies here. I will proceed now to change that fact.
