Millard

I’ve never really enjoyed capital letters but I have learned to tolerate and even appreciate them.

I am even more on the fence about the bed bugs….I am unsure of my affliction but I do know that the nature appears to be…itchy.
From what I’ve read bed bugs tend to strike around 3am-5am but I am getting bit around 12; I suppose I am most uneasy about believing I have a host of blood sucking parasites waiting to feed on me.

Today was relatively uneventful, I had class this morning and just assigned a conversation topic. I told them to separate into groups and then each group had 40,000$ for only 8 days. Anything tangible that was bought during that time would be taken by me on the final day and they could not give money away. Some of the students had pretty creative answers…one kid said he’d hire 5 women to travel with him…why not?!

After class I caught the bus home and I watched this woman spit on the floor the entire way.

Now I am trying to battle these bites….I can’t figure out what is causing them and I don’t necessarily have the highest opinion of the health care here, so I would like to avoid visiting a doctor if at all possible.
