I feel like an old man

Tonight I’ve decided to lounge around in my house with a cup of hot cocoa, in my cardigan, writing in my journal and listening to the soft tunes of Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Louis Armstrong. I’m digging the vibe- a vibe that I’ve been yearning since exam week. The winter has been cruel to me though. I’ve been down with the flu for about a month now, and it’s been progressively getting worst. No matter how many teaspoons of Robitussin I swallow, I just end up feeling nasty. Besides my health and constant build up of muscus in my throat, things with me lately have been getting better. School is over, and I passed all of my classes. One more semester and I’m done. I also caught up with some old friends this past week. It was nice to get to feel a sense of belonging. I missed them. Work is work. The closer Christmas comes the more animalistic people are getting. Rudeness. Friends came home for the holidays; I can almost picture the gatherings with the ugly Christmas sweaters and food. I’m looking forward to just spending time with a lot of loved ones and people in general, and that’s what I love most about Christmas time. My 21st is coming up in about 2 weeks too, but I’m having mixed feelings about it. I just feel like I’m getting old. I mean hello, I’m Mr. Rogers sipping on some cocoa right now. It’s the last milestone in life until you hit death. Well there is the over the hill 50, but let’s face it, who looks forward to 50? I guess I’ll just see how my birthday pans out. Until then I’ll just keep drinking cocoa.
