The story of today

Something happened. I didn't know what, but something was different about me. Some ailment was crippling me.

I woke up feeling like this. I turned into a zombie sometime in the night. Thoughts started pouring in - would my friends still accept me, could I still stay in college - that sort of thing. But then I realized that I could still think, therefore I had not turned into a mindless zombie. I was relieved, but still confused as to what was going on.

As soon as I committed myself to discovering what was wrong, it scratched me rather fiercely. It felt like Shere Khan was having a go at my throat - and Shere Khan is very, very mad.

This will be a mighty battle (hopefully!). So far I have taken some losses - I missed classes today, and I have failed to do anything productive. But I will don my armor and rise victorious! I have on my face of determination.
