Ready your masks and tissues everyone, the colds are coming!

Having been sick for the past week and a half with a nasty cold, cough, and sneezes, I can tell you that it's so much fun being sick — just in case you've never caught a cold or other related disease. I haven't been hit with the pukes or shivers, though that may change soon, seeing as my brother now has that bug.

Thursday night I sat down at my computer and put on my headphones, grabbing a brownie, a glass of milk, my cell phone, and made sure to stuff the printer with enough paper: I was getting ready to write my annual submission to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
