Just Another Crashed Party

100.2, how I dislike you.

I'm writing here tonight with the above fever, not because I want to, but because I don't know when the next time will come that I feel well enough to sit up to write. Since I've been home my conditions have worsened, my throat has gotten almost unbearably sore, I feel shaky and tired, and my ears and jaw have started hurting. I'm not sure where to go with this. Part of me still hopes that I'm going through the worst of it, the rest of me hears what happened to my friends and family and makes me feel like I'm only 1/4 of the way through. I am supposed to go back to school in 2 days, and though I have enough free absences in all of my classes to support my staying home for the week, I have a group presentation on Monday that I happen to be responsible for assembling the parts of. Coming downstairs to check my temperature and drink some juice seemed like a hard journey, I can't imagine walking across campus in the cold.
As if that weren't stressful enough, my exam period starts on THE FIRST day (a week from Saturday) and at 8:00 AM. I have at least 2 , but possibly 3 exams that first day, then one three days later...and the last one three days later on the final day. The entire exam period.
This really puts things in perspective. I've had it so easy this whole semester. A good schedule that I've been able to adhere to every day, good grades in each of my classes (my best semester yet*) and now, here at the end, it looks like I've finally got my work cut out for me to follow through and finish.


This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for mono. I don't know why I've got it but I know it didn't happen right now without reason. I hope that soon I'm standing up, fever free and enlightened, laughing at how worried I was. We'll see soon enough.

GO WHITE BLOOD CELLS GO!!!!
