everything comes back to tea

I didn't go to class today. I felt a sore throat coming on throughout the weekend, and sure enough, it was pretty atrocious this morning. checked to see if it's strep. it isn't. thank God. at any rate, I'm back at home with Little Earthquakes and drinking tea and feeling okay. still glad I didn't go to class. probably wasn't prepared for chemistry or trig, and definitely wasn't prepared for leadership. but fuck leadership- when am I ever prepared for that? everything comes back to tea. whether it's hanging out with emily, or going to work, or skipping class, or seeing the boy, or getting lunch or all fucking five of those- it seems the end result is tea. which I'm okay with. I love tea. actually, my hope was to get tea for my throat tonight and see the boy, but I don't think that'll happen. probably for the better though- I did skip class. lauren and I have decided that tea's my actual boyfriend, based on how tea seems to be the end result of absolutely everything. jon'll understand.
