"around the ceiling of the heart is where we find the things that send us away, to where the blind can see the stars"

- Jars of Clay

I am the proud new consumer of antibiotics. Hopefully they will aid me in my battle against my arch nemesis, The Sickness. I've been sick three times since I got home at Christmas, so I suppose it's no surprise that this time it turned into a sinus infection. I cannot wait to be all better. = (

On a good note, I feel like after a week I'm beginning to be become comfortable with using the "we" voice. After all these years I thought I was done learning English, but apparently there are always new bits of grammar to learn. Like the subjunctive. I have no idea what the subjunctive is. Or having to say "I wish I were" instead of "I wish I was"? Yeah, that's pretty weird.

I'm leaving on Friday. I'm leaving on Friday! There's only four more days until I go to Italy! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Seriously, Friday '~' Wow...(Yes I know what that is now thanks to a very intelligent girl!)

Saying "I wish I were" IS the subjunctive. Conditional contrary to fact. I think. This is based on late night Latin review, rather than actual knowledge of English, mind you... ;) I like the subjunctive. I hope you guys become friends.

Love you! When you're freaking out, give yourself a hug from me.

And I hope you get better SOON. As in, SUBITO!
