STRIKE!!! = BLESSING IN DISGUISE?!?!?

Alright, while most other college students I know are freaking out about the strike, I'm taking it as being a total blessing in disguise. My programme has me commuting 4 hours daily between Hamilton & Oakville, using 3 separate transit systems, 5 days a week. Then on weekends, in order to pay for college, I'm commuting another 4 hours daily between Hamilton & Burlington, just to work at my crappy, underpaid part time job at the depot. Needless to say, all this travelling, school, homework, and work has made me very tired, and extremely sick. Instead of revelling in the glory of an "extended reading week", I will be attempting to battle the last of my flu. I haven't seen outside since the 5th, and I've been in pyjamas since I got home from work that same day (excluding showers... they have to come off sometime). Today alone, I've made and consumed two rather large pots of tea, and I'll be working on the third, by the time 8pm rolls around. Solid food at this time eludes me completely, and I would probably die for something as simple as a piece of dry toast right now. I'm promising myself that I will be 110% better by the time Friday comes around, seeing as I really don't want to be sick at work again. Being sick at home is much easier than being sick someplace where you can't get comfortable, and have to pretend that everything is perfect.

Oh, and one more thing, I'd like to thank whatever holy entity wants to take credit for the invention known as neo citran... I'd probably be feeling far worse now if I wasn't taking it.
