| The past two days have been just wonderful. I say that with all the sarcasm I can muster. Early on Sunday night, I noticed that I seemed to be developing a stuffy nose. "Hopefully it's just allergies," I thought to myself. "Hopefully I'm not getting sick.." Later on, a tiny flame started burning in the back of my throat. The smoke it sent up into my sinuses clogged my nose while irritating it at the same time, thus making it run like a sink pipe does after it's been hit with some Dran-O. A general feeling of congestion seeped into my head and immediately settled in. I could feel it getting comfortable - as if it decided it was going to be like the old relative everyone has but no one likes that always decides to visit at the most inopportune moments and stays for a week longer than they should. I seem to have contracted a virus. Today I dragged myself through school by consoling myself with the thought that I was only there for four hours instead of the normal five. I missed first period for the umpteenth time this semester because the combination of two hours of sleep and what feels like impending death leaves a person not quite willing to get out of bed. Yesterday was the same, only worse. Yesterday I went to physics. That always seems to cast darker clouds over what would normally be a perfectly fine gray day. My Ugandan doctor who possesses large dreadlocks informed me that I had a virus and it would quit my company in ten to fourteen days, but only with proper care. It would be nice to take care of myself for once, but that will not be happening for another few days. I have too many tests and other mundane school-related things to take care of before I can allow myself to pay attention to what many consider the most important thing in their lives. It helps that I'm masochistic and can thus force myself to stay up with no more mental or physical damage than normal. At least, that's what I justify my behavior with. I'm fine, really. |
