Ahh...finals week. I love finals week. Well, obviously I don't love finals week, but there are certain things I do like about it, such as only having to be in a class room 5 times this week. However, a little sickness can really put a damper on what would otherwise be a splendid week of testing.
And so the story begins...
Yesterday at approximately 5pm, I started to feel a little ill. I felt like my stomach was being squeezed, and I was suffering from diarrhea about every 10 minutes. It felt better to lie down, and I ended up sleeping until 8pm. Then I woke up, pooped some more, and went back to sleep until 10. By that point I knew I was pretty sick. I didn't have a fever, however. Andy gave me some Immodium, and I went with Sharon to Kroger to get some sprite. After getting back around 12:30 I went back to sleep, but not for long. I woke at least 5 times in that 6 hours of sleep. I even woke up at 4am just as Andy was getting out of the shower (he was working a promotion in indy). I took my temperature at about 5am and it was at about 99.6. Just under a fever. I slept until 7:15 with my light on (don't know exactly why), then woke up for my 8am final.
This final sucked. Three times during the test I got up and went to the bathroom. The teacher asked if I was ok, I simply said no. I managed to answer all but the last question, and by the 3rd trip I'd decided I was done. I turned in my test and went home.
I was also supposed to help proctor the c211 exam, but I emailed in to say I was sick. She understood.
I pretty much slept form 11 to 6. I watch several episodes of "Home Movies" and one episode of "David the Gnome." Sharon and I also watched an episode of "Scrubs." By about 8pm I started to feel better. Now, it's past 11 and I can feel myself getting better. I have to finals tomorrow, but I should be ok. In astronomy, I think I have a 93 even if I don't take the final, and Beatles will be easy.
That will do it for me.
So long and happy poops!
