I truly do not understand it, but it seems that every time I step foot on this island my immune system is severely compromised. I had two rounds of a horrible cold last semester and, once again, I have been cursed. This time it only took a week!
I started getting a bad cough on Saturday night and figured as soon as I woke up on Sunday I would feel all better! However after a horrendous night's sleep I woke up to aches everywhere and chills every 15 minutes. I ended up sleeping until 2pm yesterday and could barely move I was in so much pain. I decided that I had to leave my room for at least a little bit so went to a movie night hosted by the international office. I felt so miserable throughout the film and tried my best not to cough and distract the others. I then went to bed around 10:30pm in hopes that today would be better. And although I did sleep relatively well, as soon I got out of bed the chills, hot flashes, fatigue, coughing, and aching continued once again. After doing some things around campus, I am sitting in my bed (the only place where I am sort of comfortable) and am thinking I need to stay in for the night.
Not to mention the worst part. Today is a huge party night for UCD students as everyone is back in town and back at school. The is the night to go out with friends and have a great time kicking off the semester. But as an adult, I have to make adult decisions. And I feel that going out in my current condition would push off healing for far too long.
Anyways, sorry for the not too exciting update... I just hate getting sick! But thank goodness I brought strong American medicine with me to hopefully get me feeling better soon!
Until next time,
The Opinionated Lassie
