It’s now fall break here in Hawaii. Normally my workaholic side takes over at the mention of the word “break” and is very upset at the prospect of no school for at least a week, but my lazy side has come through this time and just wants to sleep for the next week and a half.

Even with an energy drink and a coffee downed within a two-hour span, I have wanted nothing other than to sleep all day today. I started feeling rather ill around mid-day. I think it was the heat - it wasn’t that hot at all, but somehow it felt scorching. I just felt exhausted and started sweating from head to toe. The water at school was shut off, but I desperately needed a drink. I began thinking I was having a heat stroke, and that made me panic even more. I retreated to an air-conditioned classroom, but I was still about to faint. And I thought sinus infections felt like death. Can’t wait till Denver in the winter. Freezing temperatures will be nice.

As much as I want to like all my teachers, there’s just one I can’t stand. She hates me because - get this - I’m a better writer than she is. Jealousy kicks in and thus she rips apart everything I write. It’s so ridiculous. Oh well, you can’t win all the time. If there’s ever a blotch on my report card, it’s not my fault. I blame the teacher - and that’s saying something as I’m pretty good at seeing things from a teacher’s point of view.

A few days ago my power randomly went out in the middle of the night. Pure darkness. All I could do was sleep. But when I awoke the next morning, I found that some TV channels that were previously unable to be picked up by the antenna were working. It’s so strange - that power outage gave me more channels. In a way I hate it for leaving me in the dark, but I love it because now channel surfing is more than flipping back and forth between two channels. Now it’s flipping back and forth between five!
