Now you know how it feels

Now you know how it feels to be engaged to a young professional: neglected and unloved. I told you there would be posts this weekend and I have perfectly passable excuses on why that was impossible.

Simply stated, I couldn't access this website back home. I'm not sure, but my home may be under the control of communist China. I sure hope they never find out that I know.

Also, I contracted a horrible, horrible flu today. I should have known, because I wasn't that hungry this morning. Nonetheless, I stopped by one of the convenient food trucks on campus and ordered a medium Salt and Pepper Chicken. As I write this, I can feel the sickness rising again within my stomach.

I didn't vomit, but I came pretty close. I had to excuse myself from class with just five minutes left and sit on the toilet in the bathroom. As I thought about it, it would have been really embarrassing if I DID vomit, because, as you may have guessed, my pants were down as I was sitting on the John. Force of Habit, I guess.

A fever soon followed and I was unable to complete any work until now, hoping that my enormous willpower will allow me to complete this utterly disappointing post. If you don't hear from me in a few days, continue to worry, because that's what Young Professionals do: Put their loved ones through unnecessary drama.

Note: Sad to say, but I guess I'll never have the stomach to approach the food trucks again. It's probably for the best. Expect me to lose 10 pounds this month.
