overtaken

Around lunchtime yesterday I started getting a scratchy throat. I had plans last night that I didn't want to cancel, so ignored it and went for a coffee with Terry (who just finished the Cold FX cycle) and then met Eileen and Glenn for hotdogs and 1940s propaganda films. I picked up a bottle of Cold FX for myself and took the first round of it before the film. By the end of it, I was stuffed up and could barely breathe without wheezing. It was so strange, how fast this cold has attacked me.

This morning I contemplated skipping out of the course I signed up for, but thought better of it. It could be a place I would want to work after I graduate, so dragged myself out to campus for 9am. I managed to stay until after 2pm (it went until 4), but couldn't convince myself listening to that was better than sleeping. My supervisor happened to be at the course as well, so I told him I would probably call in sick sometime this week, judging by how crappy I was feeling on Day 1 1/2 and he told me I could skip on the days I'm working as an LAI, which is fine with me.

I stopped off at the shop to pick up soup and orange juice. I'm waiting for my soup to cool enough to drink/eat.

Tonight I'm supposed to go to my friends' going-away party, since they're moving to LA in a week or so. But I do feel dreadful. But I do want to see them. But my throat hurts. But I am going to sleep as soon as I'm done my soup. But that doesn't mean I should go out and make myself sicker.

Really, I'm hoping to makeout with someone tonight and make him sick. One friend claims I'm only contageous when I'm not showing symptoms, so I'm ready to lock lips now. Boys beware!

I guess that headache on Tuesday was a sign of things to come. Guh.

Sleep time now.
