Blah Blah Blah

We watched President Obama's Commencement Speech at the University of Michigan on Saturday, followed by a brief analysis/discussion.  I hope to go over some econ tomorrow.  But my cold really put me out this afternoon.  I blew my nose but was so congested that my ears plugged up.  The pressure on my inner ear was awful, resulting in me losing my balance and becoming nauseous while I crumpled to the floor.  It was not a pleasant experience.  I could not move and my head was spinning.  My poor dog must have thought I was dying and he didn't leave my side.  Five-and-a-half years later and he's still the best $350 I ever spent. Needless to say, my sinuses cleared up about 15 minutes later and I can at least walk and read...but my neighbors may be able to hear the Twins game on TV, since my hearing is still bad.  I guess teaching DHH kids may come to be more useful than I had originally planned.  So, I apologize if everything is louder in class tomorrow - or if there is a sub because it turns out I blew an ear drum.  buh-bye.
