Ping vs. Virus 'Annoy-za'

I knew it was coming this weekend when the cough came back and sore throat started. Yesterday's freezing cold weather did not help either, especially since I had to take the 15 minutes walk to Goodrich to get soymilk for breakfast (although I really could have made do with that remaining bit since I only used a little of the new one this morning).

Round 1!
Ping need to process the biomass from yesterday's experiment vs. 'Annoy-za'

It started getting worst when I was going in and out of the walk-in cold room (4C). Seriously, someone need to take the responsibility to clean up that place. I did it last year, not doing again. Since I made it all the way to 3pm and finished up today's lab report, Round 1, 'Annoy-za' down!

Round 2! ('Annoy-za' is standing back up!)
Ping need to finish reading the paper on Marx's theory as the foundation for environmental sociology but clearly, I am not doing that right now. Am not getting anything into the brain cells anymore. I have been reading the sentence "This emphasis on historical changes in soil fertility in the direction of agricultural improvement was to be a continuing theme in Marx's thought, though it eventually came to be coupled with an understanding of how capitalist agriculture could undermine the conditions of soil fertility, resulting in soil degradation rather than improvement." for I have no idea how many times and I can't seem to move further. Errr...the most common feedback I get from my writings is 'you need to shorten your sentence'. This sentence is from a paper published in American Journal of Sociology and I think it tops any of my long sentence! It must be a sociology thing because most of the sentences in this paper is super long. Well, since I am really getting side-track, I guess 'Annoy-za' wins Round 2.

Round 3! (Of course Ping is not down yet!)
Instead, I just had two oranges, a kiwi, and a cup of echinacea tea. That should knock this annoying 'Annoy-za' down. But I am going to go take a nap (nope, not the result of Round 3, just the consequence of Round 2). Round 3 results yet to be posted...(maybe MSU's win against the Badgers tonight might do it..hehe).
Zzzzzzzz
