I know what a Kilometer means relative to a meter; I don't know what a mile means relative to a foot relative to an inch.

After a week of being ill, I'm going to go back to school tomorrow. My cough is still there, but I think I can keep it under wraps for the day. I've only got one class to go to, which is good too. My Soc class is canceled and I dropped my late class**.
Also, Mortal Kombat is out tomorrow. There will be much more about that tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.

**Remember the class I said I was really uncomfortable in?
