Bein' Lazy and Bein' Sick

Title says all. Ok, so I'm not all that sick still, but I just decided to post here 'cuz 1. I'm lazy and 2. It hurts to breathe.

An unfortunate factor of going into 9th grade gifted classes is that you have summer homework. Dangit. I have both gifted English and gifted biology, so I have to read 2 books. For English I also have to do a lot of work with the book, like finding similes and metaphors and whatnot, and then write 4 paragraphs on conflicts withing the story. So far I've gotten all my similes (and then some, accidentally), and a couple other things. Keep in mind that I'm leaving on Saturday for yet another trip across America and the week I come back is the last week before school starts. Don't procrastinate, kids, it'll getcha.

Oh, and about the hurting to breathe part? I dunno if I already said something about this in a previous post, but for a while I was coughing/spitting up a mixture of mucus and blood. During that/a while after it passed, I had a sore throat. Well, it went away for a while, but recently it suddenly came back.And just a while ago, I was breathing normally 'till I realized my breathing felt kinda.. empty, I guess you could say. Like it wasn't really getting there? And then it hurt a little. It still kinda hurts, and I can't take huge intakes of air without coughing. Which I just tried. Ouuuuch. xP
