It seems as if everyone has one of those this time of the year. What about you?

I was sick three weeks ago, and it lasted for a good couple of weeks, and then I got better.

And then I wake up today, the day before classes start again, and I am *so* sick. Again. Life has no justice.

(I had a date tonight, too...)

I have never had the flu, and I never get sick in "flu season"

I'm getting over a cold that got particularly nasty and flu-ish for a couple of days before the new year.

I'm actually ok. Although I did et my usual change in seasons bad sniffles thing. But no I haven't yet had the full blow achy,nose-leaking,coughing,sore throat cold. Hoping I won't get one.

Whats it like for people in like Southern California and South Florida and Arizona were the seasons don't really change and they don't get deep cold. When I got up today it was 14 F!:eek: I doubt Phoniex was that cold.

At the moment, I am quite healthy. However, I am moving back to the dorms tomorrow. Let's see how long that lasts.

11 hour redeye flight home in a cramped plane with dreadful air quality, no sleep for two days, damp house to come back to and work the next day has taken it's toll and I'm suffering from a pretty impressive cold.
I would've taken the day off today but there's a meeting I HAVE to attend this afternoon and I feel I've cried wolf a few too many times already this school year. Calling in sick on yet another day that I'm expected to be here would look too damn suspicious.
On the plus side, me snuffling and sweating and looking like total shite is giving me the perfect excuse to not turn up Monday.

I basically never get colds anymore, which is nice. I get bad spasms, and a fit of them a couple days ago gave me a strong metallic aftertaste that lasted a couple hours, which was weird. But no colds. :)
