Once again, I did not sleep very well last night; I was in the middle of praying the rosary to help me sleep--halfway through it even--and suddenly I forgot the end to the Hail Mary. I was shocked--I've known that prayer ever since I could speak. Fortunately, Lauren reminded me of it tonight, but for some reason, it's hard to keep in my head. Ugh, I hope this doesn't continue. I have an awful memory.

As for the illness update, I'm doing much better than I used to. My illness has been reduced to some coughing, slightly sore throat, a little nose trouble every now and then, and a clogged-feeling right ear. Hopefully, my ear infection will go away fairly soon; at least it doesn't hurt anymore. I don't have any fever either, which is good because I've been getting tired of running to the computer to convert my celsius temperature into fahrenheit. I should be all better in the next few days.

I've been practicing my French over the past few days. I want to keep it fresh so I won't forget anything for French IV next year. Fortunately, I have an old textbook I got from Mrs. Chuites that is very useful, so I do the work in it every day. I've also discovered the wonderfulness that is the International Channel on Knology; now I watch the French news every night at 9:00. It's interesting seeing what's going on in Europe.

At around 10:00, Lauren and I went up to the playground and swung on the swings talking about stuff. It was nice because the weather was perfect and the moon was really bright. We stayed there for a good thirty minutes or so before going to the pool and talking some more. Even though the pool closes at 9:00 pm, no one locks the gate, so we just walked right in, and no one bothered us. Lauren said we should go swimming sometime after hours, but I'm such a goody-goody, I'm afraid we'll get caught. It was still fun, though.

Well, as for tomorrow, it looks like there's more relaxing to do. It's nice not having anything to do, huh? I'm going to enjoy it while I can, because I know I'll be missing it when school comes around again.
