Sick
That's right. I'm sick. If it weren't so annoying, I would have been amazed.
I'm not the healthiest person around (take one look at me and you'll go "hell yeah you aren't!"), and my skinny butt is a testament to that. However, I would like to think that my immune system is in the right place, because I don't really get sick that much. I might get colds, but I survive without having to take medicines, or miss class. I just become this really annoying girl who has one roll of tissue with her and blows her nose frequently.
However, this time, I really felt bad. First, my throat gets all sore. I thought it was just because I always sleep with the electric fan on and directed at me-which of course, will cause some kind of dryness in my throat over the course of the night. By the end of the day, I was hoping it was just that.
Okay, you just hope for the best. But you should expect the worst.
And the sore throat belonged to the worse scenario. The next day, I already had a cold. Which I could have endured, really, it would just be the annoying case I mentioned above. However, I really felt bad, to the point that I thought I'd have a fever-now that would be something new. I can't remember the last time I had a fever. Kinda scary, if you think about it.
Good thing was, my immune system was still in a sort-of-proper place. I didn't have a fever, although I did get a cough the following day. That was when I was taken to the doctor for a check-up. That is also something that doesn't happen frequently. Wow. One of the annoying things brought about by this illness I have-the hassle of going to a doctor, with all the forms to fill up and stuff like that.
And don't get me started on the medicines. I have three different medicines-and I didn't even have a fever! But my throat is swollen, according to the doctor...so there. I've never been good at taking medicines (when I was a kid, if you're going to make me drink cough syrup, you have to chase me around the house-and catch me-first), and I'd like to think it's related to that properly placed immune system. But at least I don't choke on my medicines now. It just sucks a bit being teased by your younger brother that you don't know how to take medicine. Boo.
And the worst part? I still go to my classes! I missed one deadline, and this 'sick' status of mine isn't even a valid reason to not get a deduction! Life is a bitch. So cruel.
So, basically, I get all the downsides of getting sick, without getting the perks. Boo me, and my sense of duty in attending classes. Oh well. I just took everything out in what I just recently called "internet therapy." Yeah, I'm still sick and I just surfed the net to oblivion. I may be relying a little too heavily on that immune system.
And with that, I shall sleep. Hopefully, I'll get better in a jiffy and I'll be posting more sensible stuff here soon.
When was the last time you got sick?
