Blue Cheese: The Enemy of a Nation

Under the Weather, in more ways than one.

I'll keep this brief because I have to sleep.
I wake up this morning...I decide I have to do something because I don't feel good. I walk to student health in the pouring rain and arrive there quite soaked through. I made the decision after 2 days of a sporadic and mysterious rash and sporadic feelings of general lousiness. The apathetic nurse practitioner did some blood work only to discover I have mono. She says I'm about a week into it and that means the "acute" phase is halfway over....meaning the latent phase where you feel tired and miserable is just about that far away, or...in time for me to head back to school for my last two weeks. I already feel really tired, I slept this whole afternoon, so I'm hoping I have a rushed case of it and maybe the worst will come over Thanksgiving so I won't have to deal with it during exams. All in all she says I should expect at least 3 more weeks of this crap and that I should do nothing but eat and rest (and study and take exams, as I will have to.)

For those of you who have been around me, don't freak out. It's only transferable through saliva...so don't drink after me or french me (though tempting it well may be.) You will be fine.

Tomorrow I have a full day starting at 7AM and going non stop until 5, when I give my last big speech in public speaking (who knows how that will go) and then I'll head back to the old dorm room to pack up and hit the road. Tomorrow the word "misery" in the encyclopedia my have a picture of me next to it, since I will more than likely be the poster child for it. Regardless, I'm going to laugh in the face of adversity and force myself to enjoy it all. HA HA HA HA
