Fever

Hey all,
I thought I’d write to let you know that I’ve been terribly sick this past week, and that’s why I haven’t been in class.
I had some kind of uber fever with massive joint pain.
My fever hallucinations reached such a pitch that, two days ago, apropos of nothing, I made a Full Metal Jacket reference to my bewildered housemate.
I still don’t know why.
All I’ve been able to do is sit perfectly still and listen to Orson Welles.
I’ve been listening to Orson Welles for four days.
I really, really want to come back to class.
That, and turn my head.

See ya Monday,
Andrea

Alas… I have gone through a Full Metal Jacket phase. That was when I was 16, and waking in a nightly sweat, having just dreamt that I was a tunnel-rat, or a machine-gunner, sitting in the open doorway of a chopper, peppering the marshy earth below before depositing my compatriots in the midst of “the shit.”

I’m glad you have survived the hallucinatory disease.
