Sore Throats, Head Colds and Speeches

Today I'm home sick with a sore throat and a head cold....=(...not fun at all. My throat is getting a bit better but I still have to rest it because I have speech night tomorrow. I hate resting my voice! Its so hard for me not to talk. Plus I can't practice my speech as much.

Last night I had a horrible sleep. I woke up at like midnight because I had to go to the washroom. I was also overheated. I didn't want to get up though because I was so tired. Then I heard my dog bark and run downstairs. I also heard a car pull in to the drive way accross the street. Then I heard someone, who I guessed was my mom, run down stairs. I thought she must be checking on what Mac was barking at. When she didn't come up for like ten minutes I got this crazy idea that a bunch of guys had come to kill us all in our sleep! (yes I have a wild imagination and always have).

I was super scared then. I kept thinking about how I would try and defend myself (I know I'm weird..lol) Anyway, I was still really scared when I heard my mom come up. After a few moments I ran outside my room, only to find that no unwanted visitors had come. I went to the washroom, had some water and went back to bed.

I also woke up at four thirty because of a bad dream which I won't go into detail about. Uhhh I hate being sick, and waking up in the middle of the night.

Thankfully, I started and finished my 4-H speech yestereday afternoon. Yes, I continued to procrastinate (even though I said I~ wasn't going to) all Sunday night and Monday morning. Well I did work a bit on my old speech but then I decided I needed a new topic. So finally I chose a topic I was happy with and wrote the speech. My topic is auditions (even though I've only done one "real" audition before). It turned out really good I think and I liked it because I didn't have to do any research because I've already done a lot and I have personal experience too.

Well I'd better go!

Bye!!!
