So, I ended Monday's post with, "Hopefully my next post of
the quarter will be much more uplifting!" Oh, the irony. My life somehow got more difficult this week... yes, I got sick. From high school onwards, I used to pride myself on my immune system - I had a horrible sleep schedule and would work myself to death, but would only get sick a couple times a year due to a mixture of positive attitude, healthy eating, and lots of antioxidants. (Probably more than a bit of luck, too.) My college career so far has consistently involved me getting sick over winter break and maybe again over either winter quarter or summer break, but never more than that.
Yet somehow I've been sick three times within the last month and a half. Clearly something is wrong here! (A sign I shouldn't take the LSAT this Saturday, perhaps?) My week so far:
Monday - Come home from my Psych midterm. Finish a Logic Games section. Am too braindead to finish more than 8 Reading Comp questions, so decide to take a break for a few hours. Come down with a fever in the evening.
Tuesday - Wake up with fever gone, but very sore throat. Fever comes back as the day progresses. Go to bed at 9:00. No LSAT studying takes place.
Wednesday - Wake up after 13 hours of sleep. Fever is gone, yet I somehow feel worse. Somehow manage to take my Arabic midterm even though I can barely think straight. Tell myself I will study for my History midterm and the LSAT when I get home. Take a nap instead and wake up with fever back. Go to bed early again. No LSAT studying takes place.
Thursday - Wake up with fever gone... and my voice as well. Stuff my backpack full of tissues and hope for the best. Likely contaminate my entire History class during the midterm, with my professor telling me that she hopes I feel better as I turn in my test (a sign that I sneezed one too many times during the exam).
Needless to say, the timing of my little cold/flu/strep throat spell is less than ideal. I'm still going to take the LSAT on Saturday, although I'm not exactly expecting a 180 at this point. We'll see what happens - who knows, maybe being sick will make me more relaxed during the test? (If you can think of a better "positive spin" to put on the situation, please let me know!)
Also, if you sat near me in class today, I'M SORRY! I'll get a flu shot after I get better, I promise! (And you should probably get one too...)
