Behind that fair facade I'm afraid she's rather odd

Going to a school like USC, you are bound to run into a multitude of incredibly ditzy, barbie girls. It's one of the stereotypes of the school that's ultimately true. During the winter it wasn't too bad...i think they all went into hiding, but now that the sun is out full blast and spring is upon us, the entire campus is filled with girls wearing tiny bikinis laying out on the grass tanning. I don't understand tanning. My roommate's been going out to do it everyday. They travel in groups, a very strange breed. Is it to say, "Hey look at me and how hot I look in a bikini?" or "Look how nice and crispy my skin can get." Perhaps I am just jealous because I'm very pale and no matter how many days in the summer I might spend in the sun, I'd remain forever more an albino color. I should have been born into the Victorian era, when being really pale was a sign of femininity. I've never felt the urge though to go to the beach and just lay in the sun all day. If I go to the beach, I'll probably be the first to jump in the water, even if my hair turns into a wet mass of curls that is impossible to comb out. Ultraviolet rays bad. Lotion good.

A week later, I'm still really sick. A few days ago I thought I was getting better, but I've had a sore throat for two days now and this cough is getting bad. I have asthma too, so I figure it's about time to go see the doctor and to try and get some antibiotics. Grumble Grumble. Going to the doctor is one of my least favorite things. I always wait until the last possible second, thinking whatever I have will just go away on it's own. P.S. I hope you don't have mono jess. Feel better!
