Ever since I’ve been a child I can recall becoming ill just days before my birthday. In extreme cases I’d miss the birthday celebration & Halloween all together due to the nature of the sickness. 

This year is nothing new.
I’m currently experiencing this feeling where my eyes are just about ready to convert into a liquid & leak out of their sockets. Also, mucus has collected in my nasal passages and created a blockade. Since then I’ve started breathing through my mouth making me feel completely uncomfortable. I just hope I’m better by Sunday so that I can enjoy Monday without a worry. 

In other news, I did well on my presentation in my Spanish class today. I was a little nervous & started to feel ‘shake’ in my boots. I fought to keep my composure & made it through the end. In case you’re wondering what the subject matter was I’ll let you know that it was a Hispanic literary movement known as Modernism. I enjoy literature very much, but not so much when it’s a ‘chore’ or an ‘assignment’. Still I had quite a good time reading about it and about it’s writers who developed the movement quite well & who subconsciously influenced me in many ways. I think the modernist movement is by far my favorite.
