<p>D FINALLY got through this week…2 mid-term exams later, >=5 lbs lighter… she’s planning to sleep the entire weekend. Whatever she had in the throat expanded to include an ear infection (she complains that first she couldn’t talk, now she can neither talk NOR hear!)…health center put her on amoxicillin yesterday, w/ sudafed and ibuprophen instructions. Her b-day is Monday—I hope she feels better to ring in her 19th year! This has been one of the hardest weeks of the freshman year for ME… knowing she felt so miserable, and was so stressed about her exams, really realizing that I’d be missing her birthday for the first time <em>sniff</em>, and the general increased missing her, knowing that I’ll see her in less than a month. (it seems like I’ve missed her the most right before I’m going to see her again!!!)</p>
