My tonsils, math class, and other things that are bothering me at the moment.

At a point in time last summer I had the unfortunate experience of getting mono. Ever since then I have had issues with my tonsils. Granted I am about a week shy of 23, and have never had these issues with them before, I'm pretty pissed at my body to have waited until I am a week away from being uninsured, and giving me this lovely problem.

What is one poor college student to do? I have a temporary solution, its name is codeine cough syrup. I still have about half a bottle left. I do not necessarily cough much, but it does defiantly help with the pain.

Speaking of pain, my math class has proven to be quite a nuisance. One would think with a name like "Geometry in Art", it wouldn't be that bad. Oh, yeah, except for that I have never taken a geometry class. Somethings are straight forward: vertices, interior angles, polygons, etc. Other things make me want to tear my hair out, tessellations, for example.

According to wikipedia (my source for anything I need to cite):

A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a collection or plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. One may also speak of tessellations of the parts of the plane or of other surfaces.

I realize that tessellations can be found in ancient architecture, and the M.C. Escher made some pretty sick pieces with them, but honestly I feel this is another bullshit piece of fluff added to my 5+ years of post secondary eduction that I will never use. Physics, I need. Structures, I should have a decent understanding of. This class has done nothing but irritate me.

Most people have heard of the freshmen 15, I have manages to put on the super senior (who is actually a sophomore because of getting fucked transferring) 20. Every time I gain weight this time of year I manage to drop it by mid march. Which is a good thing seeing as I will be in Florida for spring break. I start Weight Watchers tomorrow, but have been basically following the plan today.

I apologize for this post which is reminiscent of a 16 year old whining on livejournal circa 2002, however it's refreshing to let it all out.
