Am sick. Got a slight sore throat last night and it's turned into full blown sickitis. Managed to get it so my TA would let me turn in my lab report late, and hopefully I'll be able to get some studying in. Went across the street to buy some orange juice, soup, and some more noodles (since I live across from the student union and it has a sort of mini-mart). Learned that the minimart HAD NO ORANGE JUICE, so I had to get orange vitamin water (it has vitamin C, I guess that works) and that the place I get my favorite mushroom soup from (and coincidentally the rest of the retailers in the union) DID NOT HAVE CHICKEN SOUP. They had leek soup, though, which was actually pretty good, even if it didn't have The Power of Chicken.

Also, since the mini-mart is all hippy dippy organic, I found some tea that is supposed to be good for your throat. I'll figure out if it's crap or not. I also could not find any damn lemon juice, concentrate, or slices. You FAIL, student union. I'd go to the food mart, but it's really really cold and I know that I should limit my time outside.

Oh and I'm reading Sunshine, finally. About fifty pages in. Very nice.

...I hope you feel better pronto, Cendri.

Bummer luck about the lemon, that said; alternately, my Japanese host mothers swore by ginger tea - quite literally, boiling a chunk of ginger in water (peeling it is optional, but I like to), and adding sugar/honey to your mug once the water has boiled.

You can try camomile tea to help you sleep at night or lemon tea with honey to help your throat. <3

Get well soon!
