The blues, SAD, cabin fever-whatever you call it, everybody's got it

It seems like everybody around me is suffering my some type of "sickness" or just plain unhappiness this week. Either people are actually sick(some type of flu is going around), or they are so stressed that they are going crazy, or they are just feeling the same thing that many people get around this time of year, which would be what is now scientifically named SAD, or seasonal affective disorder. Basically it's a fancy way of saying "cabin fever" or "we're all getting sick and tired of winter, I'm feeling the blues because I wish it were spring." I personally have all of this-I have some cold thingy that has completely drained me and I've been exhausted for the past few days, my professors keep piling stuff on me (especially precalc-see previous post-and bio) so I've been stressed, and I am slightly sick of the weather. Not horribly bad, but it's the first time in a long time that I've had to walk to school, or at least to my classes. Granted, the walk is pretty short (I can get there in 2 minutes), it's still 7 degrees sometimes when I leave for class. It doesn't help that we've recently had some early spring-like days, so we've seen a glimpse of what is coming in another month and a half. At least I hope it's only a month and a half. Either way, everybody around my school is feeling something, and I'm feeling it more than most. It's been a difficult week and I think being sick, especially when it's only complete exhaustion and not throwing up (something that doesn't usually stay more than a day or 2) is the worst thing ever. Not to mention I wanted to go to bed 20 minutes ago. So that's part of my life from the past couple of days.
I did do something impulsive today to somewhat counteract the boredom from my life lately-I spent $30(which is actually a pretty good deal I guess, nowadays anyway) on a new swimsuit which I think is absolutely wonderful. I don't think I've ever spent more than $15 on a swimsuit before, so this is pretty big. Plus I actually spent money on myself for something I actually wanted, which hasn't happened in awhile. I've definitely learned how to budget since I've come to school! Money is tight around here, especially when I have to pay for things like contact solution by myself now. It's really little things like that that really make a difference. Not to mention I still owe $1600 for my tuition. I should be taking care of that within a few weeks though, and it will be good to get that out of the way! I do get paid on Friday and since that will be more than $100, I don't feel bad for buying something for myself. wow, I guess I should go to bed. Yay, I get to wake up tomorrow and go to an 8:15 precalc class with an awful professor. Oh goody.
