So, here I am, wandering through life, struggling to survive college classes, a committed relationship, and the trials of being an unpublished author, when all of a sudden: BAM! A sudden fit of feverish symptoms hits me. When I woke up this morning I was not expecting to feel this bad tonight. My head hurts, and I'm pretty sure I have a low fever. The only reason I'm not asleep right now is because I have far too much on my mind.

In fact, I had something planned for my next blog post. I can't remember what I was planning to muse about, though.

I guess I'll have to improvise and ask a question that's been bugging me for days. Why do they call it 'roll call' or 'taking roll' when a teacher reads the list of students' names to see who has bothered attending class that day?

Since my first day of college I have been wondering that, so tonight, I took it to Google!

All I could find was a short Wikipedia entry. Here is some of what it said:

"The term roll call applies to the calling itself, to the time moment of this procedure, and to a military signal that announces it."

Honestly, that didn't tell me much. However, I am now so exhausted and certain that I'm sick that I have to stop writing and either a) go to bed or b) just die and get it over with all ready. Good night, readers.
