Immune Attack

I will never take good health for granted ever again. Sunday morning I woke up as sick as a dog.  There's nothing worse than being sick away from home, but at least I have my sister to help me out. I went to the UT student medical center today. Luckily, it was a nice day out, so I didn't have a terrible time walking there. The very nice lady doctor gave me a rapid strep test which turned out negative. She decided that it's some sort of virus rather than the flu or strep throat or something that I was afraid of. I've decided that I most likely got sick from either the company I have been keeping or the fact that I may have accidentally licked an ice skate. Either way, something got me, and it's quite unfortunate. Today was a better day, but my fever is currently back up. I am so hot and so cold at the same time. My neck is super duper sore and I can barely swallow. I skipped all my classes today and slept and slugged around. Hopefully I'll have the energy to go to class tomorrow. If I wake up feeling terrible again sitting through a three hour studio class at 9:40 in the morning may not happen for me. I can't stand missing class, but I think being ill with a high fever is a solid enough reason... too bad it's the beginning of the semester. I hope my health stays in tact, so none of this has to happen again. I really don't get why I am sick! I've been eating oranges like they're going out of style. I suppose my body is just poorly adjusting to my hectic schedule after being chilled out on Christmas break.

I always realize the moment I start feeling sick how amazing it is to feel fine and how much I really don't appreciate my good health when I have it. Let's hope I'll wake up in the morning, and my immune system will have taken care of everything. I can't wait to feel normal again. I just can't do a third day of this.
