Yes, I Have Swine Flu

It looks like I'll be posting something once a month. Hmm, that's not too bad. Like I said in the last one, I kind of forgot that I have a blog. But I'm sick now and got bored of FaceBook and I remembered this. Not that anyone reads them, though. I'm guessing I'm the only person who knows about this. Oh, well. It's still a good way to express myself. And, who knows, people might read this one day. Or, like Greg Heffely in Diary of a wimpy Kid, when I become rich and famous, I can direct all the news people to my blog instead of having to answer all their silly questions about my past. Yeah, like that's going to happen . . .
Anyways, I'm sick right now, that's probably why this is all a bunch of nonsense, but I'll keep writing anyways. I have swine flu. Crazy, I know. The world-wide epidemic was over a year ago, but apparently these things hang around. And, don't worry, this is not my death note. The doctor said that swine flu is dangerous for obese or unhealthy people and, since I am neither of those two, I just have to wait it out at home.
I've been stuck in my house for the past two days and will have to be stay here for another two days, alternating between my bed, the couch in my room, and the couch in the living room. I've eaten lots of Jell-O with the ocassional pack of soda crackers, baked potato, and some assorted fruit. I love Jell-O, usually. But right now I'm sick of it. There's a whole dish full of it downstairs on the kitchen counter all for me but I'm so tired of it that I'm eating one of my least facorite cereals. Corn Flakes. Willy Wonka was right, it's made of the little things that hang out in your pencil sharpener. But Mom said that I have to eat something. And it has made my headache go away. But I'd really like to eat some of the mashed potatoes that are sitting in my fridge. Problem is, I'm supposed to stay away from the refridgerator, Dad's not home, and everyone else in my house is either asleep or as sick as I am. So for now I'm stuck with the pencil shavings.
Anyways, where was i going witht his? Oh, right, I'm sick and have nothing else to do. Gotcha.
Yeah, having nothing else to do is not really true. I should be reading my book for Novels that was assigned in the middle of August and is due at the end of the month. I could be writing in my journal and catching up on all that's happened because I haven't written in it since the end of July. I could be studying for my Bible and Vocab tests. But I'm being lazy and I'm wasting my time on the computer.
Ugh, I got off topic again. Think I'll ever finish what I wanted to say? No, me neither.
I have been playing the stocks game for Personal Finance. Since I usually check it at the end of the day when the stock market is closed, I never realized how much our rankings change through out the day. I was first when we first started the game, but then i dropped to sixth. I've been climbing up in the past couple of days and was second today, but now I'm third again. I don't think I'll ever end up last, though. I've got loads of stocks, a little bit in everything. And i have stocks that other people in my class have. :)
But Personal Finance was interesting last week.
On Tuesday we'd had our Student Council meeting. I was so glad for that because one of last year's seniors had come for a visit. we used to be friends, back when I was in 9th grade, but then he got a crush on me and I suddenly couldn't stand him. I never really got over being really annoyed by him. But it wasn't just because he liked me. Lots of other people got annoyed by him too. So he came back the other day and went to my sixth period class. I felt kind of bad about joining a group and leaving him next to my friend, but he didn't talk much or anything during that class. But then he followed me to my next class. And I know it was because of me because I passed him in the hall as he was about to go into another classroom and then he shows up in my class. Anyways, it's hard to say what I was feeling right then. But I know I was upset. I ignored him the whole time. When class was over, I left. My next class was Personal Finance. we had a test and, since I'm a good test taker (I either know it or I don't), I finished early. I hadn't taken any other homework with me so I pulled out my Bible to start studying the next memory verse. James 1:21-22, "Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word and so decieve yourselves. Do what it says." Um, wow. Think God was speaking to me? Yeah, I do too. Moral filth and evil in my life: Getting my dander up whenever someone who sometimes bothered me was around. The word planted in me: To love others, all the time, no matter what.
Yes, I will have trouble with people. We're not perfect. I will get upset. But I am so glad that God spoke to me the other day. I realize now that I was hurting myself more than the other person.
Hey, I did finish my thought. Yay! :)
