Well, the morning after Christmas, I woke up with a sore throat, and everything just went downhill from there. I was in bed with what felt like the plague until 7 PM last night, when I miraculously recovered as a result of divine intervention on the part of my mother's prayers.

Anyway, I finally designed my first webpage (a blog has one page) in three years. It's a start. I'll probably bore of this too. Well, my last blog was about my senior year of high school and my thoughts about college and the future. I probably should blog about my last couple semesters in academia and my thoughts about entering the real world. And maybe this time, I should be a lot less candid.
