It’s been one heck of a week, that’s for sure. I’ve been pedaling like a madman, racking up 171 miles on my bike. Might as well have been chasing the horizon, for all the good it did to my tired legs. Then there’s the Senior Seminar class—oh boy, that’s a whole other marathon. Between the endless readings and the heated discussions, it’s been a mental Tour de France.
As if juggling those two wasn’t enough of a circus act, the flu decided to crash my party. Because, you know, life apparently thought I needed a little extra challenge. And just for the fun of it, let’s throw in not one, but two presentations due this week. Great, right? Now I’m here, crossing everything crossable and hoping to high heaven I don’t end up with strep throat on top of everything. Because, honestly, that would just be the icing on a very unwelcome cake. Here’s to hoping my voice sticks it out long enough to wow them with my presentations. Fingers crossed, and flu be damned.
