Really, today a zombie took over my body and replaced bubbly, happy teacher with lethargic, dizzy, congested, coughing teacher. Oh wait, that was exactly how I've felt for the past week. Obviously, it's been a zombie all along and not just a cold.  All I have to say is thank god for my co-teacher, who took over the bulk of the classes today while I alternately checked homework and swayed dizzily.  Note to self: cold medicine and coffee really doesn't mix so well.

Why I am ending my sick hiatus if I still feel stuck in zombie land? Because I'm procrastinating doing my French homework  I think I shall gorge myself on Swiss chocolate (I LOVE YOU MOM/DAD/KAREN!!!!), have another cup of ill advised coffee and get to work. I know, I know, I should be resting it's just that there is so much to do and only so many hours to do it in.  Tomorrow I don't have any work (Children's Day!) so I plan on lounging on the beach, reading a book, and dozing in the sun. Next to my box of tissues, medicine, and sunblock of course!
