lately i have been beginning to think that i might be a much sicker child than i always believed, and i blame this directly on all the lectures we've been having in school.

for instance, i am POSITIVE that i have a hypersensitive nose which causes me to start sneezing everytime i enter the LT. the only other explanation is that it could be a nervous allergy induced by the thought of mental work, which come to think of it, might also be highly possible.
then, i suspect i might have hypothyroid because i have like the metabolism of a hibernating mouse. and also, i might have been deficient in growth hormone when i was a growing kid, which explains why i am now stunted for life. oh, and finally, i might be mildly autistic.

i don't know why all this comes as a surprise to me, since i come from a family of dysfunctional people. my sister sings her lungs out till she tires herself to sleep every night; my mom is so uptight and compulsively overpunctual that she arrives 15-30 minutes early for almost everything except picking me up from school, which is only because she hates to have to wait for her daughter like a maid; and my dad, at his ripe old age, still frequently sneaks bags of junk food up to the attic in order to avoid detection from the mom.

i bet all this will have some kind of permanent psychological effect on me later on in life.
