Getting Better

I went to the Health Center Monday and of course when I got there my temperature was normal. I had waited to see if it went back up before I went and when it did go back up, I went. At least the nurse was helpful. She gave me some decongestants and said I most likely did not have swine flu. She said it seemed to be mostly sinus stuff. All good news. She said that I should be fine but to come back in if any of my symptoms got worse. I haven't taken my temperature since then but I think I'm fine. My throat though hurt really bad all day yesterday and I started coughing. My cough has certainly gotten worse since then. And my voice isn't very great either. Hopefully, it will go away. I really don't want to have to go back to the Health Center. People are already looking at me with dirty looks and wondering if I could make them seriously sick.

The good news is that I have had plenty of time to get ahead on homework. Sunday I did my essay for Sabine and did all the reading for this week. I took a bath Monday night and read poetry. I finished all of the reading for my poetry class for the week while in there and did some extra. Then yesterday while at work I started working on my reading for my poetry class next week. Then this morning I got the email from Clarissa of all the reading for Thursday so I did it while sitting in bed. It was pretty quick and easy. That leaves with plenty of time to hang out with Lindsey tonight and relax. I just have to work on stuff for next week. Mostly poetry and Content Lit cause we will be doing group presentations in American texts and I'm done with SED. I am just going to class today to pass in my reflective evaluation.

I should start working on my final paper for Poetry and my project for American texts since I seem to have some time. The other part of me says I shouldn't worry about that until I start feeling even better. Meaning stop coughing. There is also a lot of stuff at the apartment that I need/want to do. Like take the trash out, change the cat's litter, make my bed, clean off my dresser, do some laundry, pick up my school books and things, clean the closet, and set up the box for my TV or try to anyway. I'm looking forward to having the apartment to myself over Christmas break. It means I can do those things and maybe decorate for Christmas a little. I also have a ton of people to buy for this year. I mean there is always the usual mom, dad, David, Kelly, Nick, Jamie, Jason but there is also Garret, Kayla, Lindsey, secret santa at work, kitten and maybe Tim and Aimee. I'm not really sure if I should buy them Christmas presents or not. I feel like it is rude and wrong to not do so but at the same time, they hate me. They're not going to feel obligated to do anything for me so why should I feel obligated to do anything for them? But I do. I live with them. Rawr.
