I finally played DDR again last night, although I had to quit after about an hour because I was getting too short of breath and I was coughing like crazy. I'm not going to give up so easily, though, as I'll be hitting up the arcade after class tonight. Even if I have to stick to a fairly low-intensity workout, I want to keep playing here at least so I can hopefully get some of my accuracy back.
For the most part the symptoms of this cold have gone away, but now I'm left in the same state I was in before this bug really hit me hard: I have next no to energy and it's a struggle just to get from building to building here on campus. I spent the weekend getting caught up on the homework and stuff I missed while I was sick, but I still have this one paper I have to do (it was due nearly two weeks ago but I got an extension) and so help me I just can't seem to get anything done on it. Thankfully my professors are tolerant about this sort of thing, for the most part, but there's one of them I've been having to avoid for the past week or so as I've been trying to get back on track here. I have a meeting with her tomorrow, though, so I'd better get in a good night's work here tonight.
Nominations for next year's Spectrum officers will be this Thursday, and I haven't told anyone I plan on running for President yet. I honestly don't know how people will take it; everyone seems to think I've got all the brainpower qualities needed to run the group (especially those who were here when I was last President and saw me in action), but given how little social interaction I've had with members this year I wonder if that many people will be eager for me to take charge of the group again. It kind of feels like being in charge of the group is the only way I can be a useful part of it, though, so hopefully next week's elections will go well and I can take the reins of power again this summer and plan out another great year like we had last year.
