Ill(icit Illusions)

So, I really just wanted to put two "i" words for the title because I'm literally ill (as in sick). This was really out of the blue, since I woke up with a sore throat just the other day. But, I still went to my classes as usual. It wasn't until halfway through my last class that I started feeling very, very chilly. Freezing, in fact. It was quite horrible. First, I was going to try and catch the kid whom I had insulted to apologize and give him a friendship bracelet as an offering/apology - in hopes that we could be friends, but that didn't turn out as expected. I became very nervous and just ill-feeling that I headed back to my dorm to nap it off. I was still feeling fairly weak and everything that I had to miss the magic club meeting, which I was very excited to go to. Even eating dinner was a bit of a pain. I felt like all my strength had escaped me, and I had to carry a full tray (not sure how "full" it was, but those dishes sure are heavy) from one end of the dining commons to the other. So yes, I am sick, even as I am writing this blog post. I am coughing it up and being all weak while typing all this out... But it's okay. I hope to get better soon. At least, I hope so. I might even take a nap because I plan to juggle soon as well as go to a benefit show. I really hope I can make it to these things. I slept in last night. Slept almost about 15 hours. I took the nap, went to have dinner, and slept in, drank water, went to the restroom when needed. What a vicious cycle that was. My schedule after dinner was pretty much: drink water, sleep, go to the restroom, drink water, sleep, go to the restroom. About every hour on the hour until maybe about 9ish. At least, that's about the last time I remember checking my phone. It was quite weird. My body's still sore, so I'm not trying to be too exertive (I guess I just made that word up, but you can infer what that means).
Anyways, what else has been up... Well, I've been really excited about wanting to study abroad in England. I really hope I can. I want to either do undergrad. studying there, or grad school. I'm kind of hoping for the former, just because it seems fun and enjoyable. For some reason, I'm really set on Cambridge or Oxford, which I found to be the top schools in England.... I hope I could get in... Also, I get that I could visit England at any time, but I really, really want to study there. I'm a bit worried about the whole degree transference and things like that, but I'm quite excited. I'm hoping that works out also. I'm planning to talk to some advisers soon about that whole deal. So we shall see.
Let's see what I can say about illusions just to get that out there. Well, I'm in magic club! And we do magic! Or maybe illusions. However you'd like to view that. It's quite fun and I'm learning quite a bit (well, slowly, but surely). I'm working my way there. I had been too focused on juggling that I need to set more time out for magic club. Oh! I'm hoping to go to the RIT Juggle-In with my club. It's during my birthday! And also, the magic club is having a show on my birthday! I'm super excited. I hope I get to do both. It'd really be the best birthday ever. My two favorite things pretty much. :) I'm excited for that. Truly.
What else... I scheduled for my summer courses the other day. By Monday, I'll be able to schedule my flight back home. I'm excited! My sister has been posting food pictures, which I'm really dying to eat. I love kimchi. (If you guessed they were kbbq pictures, you're right!). Also, apparently, my family hasn't really been cooking since I left. I kind of feel  like things have died down after I left, but that might just be my conceited self (and I use the term "conceited" lightly and jokingly!). But yeah, I'm excited to see my family again. I'm actually not sure if I miss them, or miss the idea of them. I kind of feel like a robot in the senses where I know how I'm supposed to feel, though I'm not actually sure if I feel them. A lot of the things I say are just words after all. That's depressing, right?
Anyway, I've also started reading Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I also just bought the A Game of Thrones 4-book box set. 20% off. Awesome, right? In addition to those little nifty things, I'm going to be reading the Harry Potter books this year - making sure of it. Especially since, I'm pretty sure I'm the least knowledgeable in the club... Which makes me feel awkward. At least I watched the movies, eh?
What else... What else... Well, I'm not quite sure. Things happen. It's been a week. Maybe I'll check back soon (maybe when I get better? or if I don't...). But, until next time! Off to nap now. Ciao!
EDIT: I also forgot to mention that I went to a party this past weekend and it was quite delightful. I didn't mingle much, because I need to practice, but hey. It was a fun time. My friend sort of dragged me along, which was nice of him, and I'm glad he did. I saw some of my other friends there, and I got to meet some people. I hope it happens again soon. :)
