this is probably the worst sickness i’ve ever had while at school. yesterday the stuffiness started, and by midnight, i’d pretty much gotten a full fledged fever. i’m not gonna lie, i for reals thought i had swine, and asked my roommate if she would still be my friend if i did have it.
this morning, it had not gotten any better. my roommate told me i should probably stay in bed and get better because my head was really hot and i felt absolutely awful. so i ended up skipping all three classes I had today, which sucked a lot because one of them was a once a week class, and those are the hardest to miss because there’s so much freaking stuff you miss in almost three hours of teaching. i also had a paper due today and since i couldn’t really look at my computer without my head pounding until about half an hour ago, i still haven’t started it. the only good thing about BC this year is they are being nice about the whole “if you’re sick don’t worry about anything” so i emailed all my teachers and so far the two that have responded have been pretty nice about it. i’m sure they were just thankful i didn’t go to class because they didn’t want to get sick.
you would think spending all day in bed would be kind of alright, but in fact, when you have a fever, it’s pretty awful. i got chills, i was hot and cold constantly, i would wake up sweating, i couldn’t eat anything, i had to force a waffle down because i felt weak. a shower i took did nothing but make me really really cold after i got out. light hurt, i couldn’t even spend my day on the computer because it hurt, i couldn’t put music on because my head hurt. seriously, being sick sucks a lot.
i just recently finally got my appetite back, so i’ve been eating the most random things: cereal, bologna, yogurt, juice, and i’m about to make myself some tater tots because i need something warm to eat and i really don’t want soup. i feel awful not being able to do any of my homework, but i just can’t. it really sucks. this is one of the few times i’ve ever thought, damn, i really wish i could go to class or do my homework.
so i’m hoping by tomorrow morning my fever will have completely gone away so maybe i can start that paper and get better because i really cannot miss the retreat i’m actually excited to go on this weekend.
this is my life right now. writing about how sick i am. now if only i could get this same energy to write my television criticism paper, i’d be all set.
