I assign the SAT. It starts way too early in the morning. And coughs that will not go away, even when the rest of the cold is long since over.

I assign almost all male teachers that love football. I have a great relationship with all of them but I cannot discuss football with them since I am not a fan of the sport and don't watch it. Entirely ruins the idea of having teachers that you can trust enough to email with them.

You should have been in my old prof's office the day I was sitting on his floor reorganizing his bookshelves (I was getting paid for this) and we were chatting when a few other students (male students) stopped in. They started talking about some Brett guy who apparently retires a lot and my prof turned to include me politely in the conversation.

"What do you think about it?" he asked.

"Um... which sport is this?"

They thought I was kidding.

I went back to the Goya books.

Speaking of, I assign my lack of art books. I have one small Magritte book, and a miscellaneous collection of gallery publications, but it's just not the same as having easy access to color prints of all the major works of all my favorite artists.

And I assign my lack of bookshelves. Too many books, not enough space.

I assign being ill. And I don't know whether it's some sort of inflammation/infection, the swine flu or another huge boil forming in my throat.

Don't worry, from my experience swine flu is quite mild, if very annoying (because even my own family ostracized me). I contracted this at the height of the h1n1 scare.

I assign the flu. Icky icky stupid disease.

Knowing you're getting sick.

Because sometimes it's easy to tell the difference between allergies and your body trying to fight something off.

Just hoping it's not bad, and that it comes and goes quickly.

Wind. As in, 60mph stead wind and 80mph gusts. We get it every year, but it still is annoying.

You have all my sympathy. It is indeed a vile and nassty test but at least we don't have to take A-Levels! Now to re-take my test!

Speaking of the SAT, I assign bad maths scores. 580 is not good enough for some places apparently.

I assign power hungry people that keep trying to get you killed in a game that you are better at and know more about.

Greetings from my wife (who has played this for the last year or two), and she suggests you find a real good tribe to join.
