Hello! I just thought I'd update you on my health.
Overall I'm perfectly functional, which is great, but I'm also super tired; I woke up this morning completely exhausted after seven hours of sleep, strange. And it's only gotten worse over the day, now I think I'm sore all over and about ready for a nap, actually. I'll do that right after writing this.
Otherwise, I have this ridiculous chest cough that won't go away, it's been four days now and this morning in the shower, I coughed and there was blood in my mucus. Obviously I've been coughing way too much and the walls of my throat are rubbed raw. Yech. I also have a constant headache that's becoming something of a bother, as it makes it very difficult to concentrate when I'm in class or reading text... And my eyes are so ridiculously dry! Though that may be because I'm tired as well. Also, my nose gets super stuffed at times, but not all the time. When I'm walking around outside it's fine, but when I sit for a while, such as in lecture or at my apartment or somewhere to eat food, it gets 100% blocked.
I can't think of any other symptoms that are bothering me at the moment... I'm just going to wait this one out and hopefully I'll be better in no time, so that I can be 100% back in the game! Thankfully, I am somehow managing to stay on top of my schoolwork, despite the difficulties I am experiencing. Haha.
One thing I feel bad about is the fact that I've had to cancel a lot of plans with friends over the weekend and such, as I was worried I would get them sick. Personally, I really dislike people who make plans and then cancel them at the last moment, so I will meet up with those friends again once I'm feeling better and make sure they're not too upset with me. ^_^
With regards to school, nothing too challenging is going on yet, Biology and Chemistry are definitely manageable as long as I keep up with the reading and practice problems (which I am doing), and Psychology and Sociology don't seem too difficult at all, as of so far! I'm excited to get great grades this semester. :D
Today I had Chemistry and Biology in the morning, and Sociology in the afternoon. The two morning classes I have with Cameron, and thank goodness, because he motivated my exhausted self to keep walking at a good pace; on the way to class, I felt so tired, and wanted to crawl. Slowly. Which obviously would have made me extremely tardy, therefore, it was good that he was there to keep me pushing to walk at a good rate. Haha! Unfortunately, I fell asleep halfway through Chemistry lecture, but that's alright, as the stuff we learnt today was material I'd covered in seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade, AS WELL AS last year. I know it backwards and forwards and upside down, so I'm not behind at all for that. And in Biology, I forced myself to stay awake and take many notes.
After those two classes were over, I made myself chicken noodle soup for lunch and ate it with eggs, bread, yogurt, and tea, and then went to my Sociology class. I must say, as a subject of study, sociology is almost shockingly monotonous. Very basic concepts that have been decorated in many different ways to make up various "theories" and "concepts". Sigh. It was almost implausibly difficult to stay awake during the lecture today and at one point I was noticeably waving back and forth in my seat like a flag in the wind. However, I managed to stay conscious for the whole lecture, and actually get pretty good notes on everything the professor said.
Walking back from sociology lecture to my apartment was actually pretty funny, I was walking with my eyes closed half the time, at a pace that I bet any respectable turtle could have beat. Basically, I was sleepwalking, but it felt so good to have my eyes shut! So who cares what other people think of me! Leave me alone, I am sick. I was getting weird looks anyway, as I was wearing a scarf in the eighty degree weather, but hey, when have I ever cared what other people thought of me? ^_^
... Well, I do believe I have reached the limit of my currently impractically finite energy reserves. Hence, for now I shall go nap, and blog again with another health update later! Haha.
Until next time, my friends.
