My Battle With Bronchitis

TODAY WAS SO EMBRASSING! I'm so sorry I had to run out during the presentation, I've been sick for almost two weeks now and have really bad bronchitis. I was coughing the whole time but those breathing exercise really got me, thank god for inhalers! I found the presentation somewhat interesting, I cannot believe that guy never gets sick because he meditates, I'm going to consider doing it because clearly when i get sick it lasts forever and I can't breathe. haha. Adding onto our discussion last week on the "Octomom" (the lady with 14 kids?), I was watching the news this morning and they have on tape some lady in her car screaming at the Octomom across a parking lot "THATS OUR TAX MONEY, STOP TAKING OUT OF MY POCKET!" I don't blame the lady for yelling that, this woman is causing problems in California because she wants to have babies that she cannot finanically support.
I did read the rest of Flannery O'Connor's stories and I really liked them! I got a meaning out of them and saw a lot of signficance. She was really trying to show society it's flaws. In "Good Country People" this so called Christian boy is out of hand. He is a good example that you cannnot trust anyone! However, "Revelation" makes you appreciate who you are and the life that you are given. I feel bad for Mrs. Turpin because she was so friendly to everyone in the doctor's office. Normally, in a doctor's office no one talks to each other. The young girl who called her a an old wart hog from hell is sterotypical. Therefore, I am really anxious to see what the first paper is going to consist of since I see it is going to be about these stories. I'm glad it's about these since I understand them!
I'm going to rest and get better hoping I won't have that obnxious cough next class so I do not disturb the class. Good-Night =)

  1. It's okay, Nikki! You're sick. You've only missed one class, so if you need to take a day off I understand.
