Pestilence!

So the party on Friday night was really great. I met a bunch on nice people and had a very good time. However, I brought something back with me. Every second person you meet is sick with something more exotic and dangerous than the last person, and I picked up a couple of germs in the fancy Cuban themed lounge that was packed with people.

I was very annoyed when I realized that I was going to get sick (I know a few hours in advance because my throat starts to tingle), but thought I could easily fight it by overdosing on vitamin C and other voodoo medicines. Unfortunately, by late Saturday afternoon I knew it was going to be a killer (figuratively). On Sunday morning I woke up with terrible stomach pains, so I asked my cousin to take me to the hospital. The doctor put my on anti-biotics (as well as some other pills that I'm not exactly sure what they do except that they make me drowsy...) I was booked off for three days: I can't remember when was the last time I was booked off. Even when I had accidentally cut my right wrist open at school I was back virtually the same day (even though writing was kind of difficult). Anyway, I returned to university today even though I am still technically booked off, because there is work I simple have to do. It was a mission, but it seems like I survived the day. The whole being sick thing is bad in the sense that I have to do work (I have two big tests next week for which I still have to start studying) but I am unable to do almost anything except lie on my back and watch dust float through the air... I got a bit of reading done (recreational, mostly), but soon it's going to have to be crunch time for studying.

Everybody is sick! Stay away from them! People use to get sick with colds and flu, but now its flu, intestinal virii, bronchitis, feningites and other nasty things... It's almost the start of spring, but that usually means it's still going to be a month of cold weather. Stay indoors away from people and study!
