I suppose the combo of being sick and at school is altogether relatively unfacinating. I'm finally almost healthy again, and over the weekend I've been working on learning the international phonetic alphabet for my english class. It's learning to spell all over again, while making lots of funny noises. My project this afternoon is to transcribe a couple minute long piece of human dialogue, which should be amusing considering how much difference there is between how we think we use this language and how we actually do. At least my prof is progressive enough to get that -- doing this with some old school marm would be the death of me.
