as i wrote the date today on my class registers, marking off absent students, i noticed it was july fourth. that's about as far as it went. some things just really pass you by depending on where you live and most of them, you don't miss hearing about.

i suffered horribly all weekend from intense coffee withdrawl. don't kick the caffeine habit cold turkey, it hurts. i spent a large part of the two ridiculously rainy days away from work with a massive headache and the rest of the time i spent sleeping. i think i slept more than i was awake... painful.
