The problem with sickness...

...is that my brain gets so bored! I actually really love school purely for the fact that I feel intellectually edified at the end of the day. I crave learning. My favorite Internet activity is hitting the random page button on Wikipedia. I need school for sanity.
Yet when I'm sick, I'm at a loss for an attention span wide enough or long enough to make a difference in my intelligence. Not feeling well has quite the effect on my ability to absorb information. And I hate it. It should be impossible for me to be bored, especially when I'm in the middle of the semester and have so many extra avenues of study I've meant to pursue for so long. But no. No mental capacity for you. Just stare and sleep and wonder when you're going to be able to efficiently wonder again.
Yep, this is probably my greatest dislike of illness. What an interesting thing that the body has so much power to limit the mind. How happy I will be when my inner nerd will be able to prevail in my life once again!
