should one seek to redress wrongs of yesterdays?

was down with gastric flu. i've always thought it to be a rather serious illness, i mean, gastric and flu? sounds obsolete and foreign, like pneumonia and stomach ulcer.

am trying to get more excited about waterloo. but i'm only excited about studying literature there and then being a hermit, none of those touring-excitement or exchange of cultural ideas and people exuberance that my fellow peers are buoying about with, or even excited to be 'on my own' (ala living in my own apartment, away from home, yada yada y a d a ... because seriously, it's not all that hyped-up). i wonder if it's some built-in 'don't get your hopes too high lest you fall big time' mechanism, or am i just not on the same wavelength as my fellow exchange-mates?

but i am excited about getting all bundled up in winter, with boots and big fat coats. haha.
