Sexy, Innocent Child-Woman

I'm feeling better but I'm sleepy

Siguro may sinat ako kahapon. I was worried whatever I had would turn into a full-blown fever, but it didn't, thank God. After I left the computer lab last night, I had to make a pitstop at a convenience store that's about two blocks south of my school to buy phone cards, since I hadn't called home for ages. To get home, I had to walk two or three blocks north, cut through campus, cross the street, and walk two more blocks heading west before I reached my apartment once and for all. Normally, all the walking I do isn't a big deal for me. It's part of living in a big city where I can survive without a car (which I wouldn't be able to afford as of now, anyways). But last night, I was shivering and the walk to and from the convenience store was semi-torture. Plus the store didn't have the brand of phonecards that I usually get (one that provides decent coverage and relatively honest advertising), which kinda pissed me off kaya medyo nagtaray ako sa nagtitinda 'cause he kept suggesting that I get some newly released phonecard even if he wasn't sure if it would have good coverage for calls to the Philippines (duh, how stupid could he get?!!). Anyhow, I think all the walking I did helped me sweat the viruses out of my system, if that makes sense.

I called our house last night and got to talk to my parents. I talked to my mom longer than I talked to my dad, as usual. Three weeks rin kaming di nakapag-chika ng nanay ko so it was good to just update her and hear her voice. After that, I slept a lot, so that also helped me feel better.

Can I just share that the department head of a community college that I interviewed for two months ago called me at about 9:50PM last night. I had just fallen asleep at that point, so I was so drowsy when we talked. (My roommate, who taught there in the fall of 2004, warned me that this person could be a little spacey, and now I get her point.) The department head called to let me know that because of sudden changes in the schedule and availability of faculty members, she could offer me two classes this fall if I was interested (this was about a month after she told me she had finished hiring for the fall). I don't remember my exact words, but I told her I was already teaching at my school this fall and I had visa issues and constraints to deal with. But I said I'd be interested next semester. She said she'd make a note of that and let me go. Good Lord. I hope I sounded coherent last night. Kasi tama ba namang tumawag siya ng alas-diyes tapos tungkol sa trabaho ang pag-uusapan namin. Wala lang. Labo talaga.
