Well, my illness has turned into a terrible cough. I went to the doctor yesterday and he checked for strep. The strep test was negative, meaning there is a 96% chance that it's really not strep throat...so he gave me an antibiotic anyway. Yum. Here's to the growth of antibiotic resistant strains!

Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I should go to class today. I have to go into my office this afternoon because I have students that need to see me. But, I just can't decide about class. There is a 96% chance that nothing important will happen, I won't learn anything, and I'll just sit there miserable and bored the whole time...but what if the 4% chance that I learn something happens? I'm probably going to to because we are talking about comparative historical methods, of which I know nothing...but since I haven't done the readings, I probably won't learn much anyway.

Well, I think I'm going to go. What's the worst that can happen? It's probably better for me to get out. I've been cooped up for two days now.
