one sick puppy...

i'm finally starting to feel better though i still have a bit of a cough...this cold took me out for over 2 weeks!

good things from being sick:
- might be all in my head, but i think my stomach got a little bit toned from all the coughing. we'll see how long it lasts after the coughing stops.
- got to hang out with my brother who recently found out that he passed the bar (yaay! though i don't think he studied all that much...he's a genius like that) and is in the process of looking for a job. i didn't have much of an appetite while i was sick, so he got me food and also introduced me to a fun anime series to watch while i was stuck at home. er...i watched all the episodes (i think there were 23 of them, 20-25 minutes each) in 2 days...you do the math.
- along the same lines, i got to catch up on some movies i'd been putting off watching - among them, tae guk gi and cars. completely different movies, but liked them both very much. don't want to admit it, but i also cried watching both of them...yes, my brother looked at me incredulously as i wiped away tears during cars. tae guk gi was a tearjerker...i watched it with my mom, and we were both crying throughout the movie.

the kinda sucky things about being sick:
- couldn't hold a normal conversation without coughing every minute or so. didn't leave the house much, but i had to go to a wedding, spend time with family for thanksgiving, hang out with a friend visiting from out of town, and go to a farewell dinner for another friend, while trying to communicate without infecting people and grossing them out by coughing in their faces. needless to say, i wasn't very social.
- in general, i really missed people these past few weeks. no fun being a sick hermit.
