You give me fever! Fever in the morning, Fever when it's late at night!

I've always been part of a large family. Six kids total. One girl (the eldest) and five boys. I’m use to a house full of noise. I didn’t say energy. We were all a lethargic bunch of fat kids. Inside, I still feel like the lethargic fat kid who doesn’t want to go outside.

I’m hoping to break that. Right now I’m trying to finish up the last courses I need for my degree. I just need to finish 2 papers and spend 1 hour for a final, and I’m done. At last! I’ll be done.

When it’s all over, I want to bring my Cannondale bike to the shop and get it in working condition. One of the shifters never worked just right, and the chain is pretty much frozen. Then I also let my brother ride it, and he lost one of the end caps on my handlebars, and it’s a safety hazard.

Cycling seems to be very big up here. It’s very nice weather here right now and I don’t think I’d mind riding. I have packed on about 15 pounds the past 6 months and need to take them off before winter sets in. I’m trying to convince myself I’m just preparing myself for winter hibernation, and I’ll just sleep and let my body burn off the fat like bears do. Haha! Like that’s going to happen. I’ll probably be sitting around the TV eating munchies all night.

The people up here have such contrasting attitudes on health. They are a very outdoorsy people. Hiking, biking, water sports, hunting, etc. They are for the most part, very active. Maybe that’s because there’s not much more to do up here. On the other hand, you’d think this place was a tobacco growing state. Smoking is huge around here. I guess with all this fresh dairy air, it’s not as bad as living with L.A. smog.

Skyprincess has been away since Sunday, and the house is far too quiet. Moving to a new place is always a tough thing to do for me. It takes quite some time for me to feel at home somewhere. It’s like when you stay with someone for a weekend. You aren’t comfortable there and you tend to walk from room to room looking for a place that you can sit. Well… maybe that’s just me.

I got the wandering fever Monday when I returned from work. I found myself moving from room to room, like I had lost something. It wasn’t until late in the evening I realized what I was doing and stopped.

Luckily I’ve had these papers to concentrate on, or else it would have gotten very bad. I guess I could have played WoW, but I never find any of my friends online any more and just log. Which doesn’t help much since then they can never find me online. (sigh)

I’m really getting concerned about this paper. I’m still prepping to write it, trying to sketch out what I want to talk about. It’s due Wednesday evening. Not much time.
