Finals & InFluenza

Of course it would be just my luck to wake up on Sunday morning with body aches and a sore throat. My roommate, a registered nurse says those are symptoms of the flu:( When I woke up this morning I still felt the same way but resisted all impulses to stay in bed and call in sick. Nonetheless, as soon I came home I knocked out from about 2-8pm. Even after hours of sleeping I still felt sore, as if I let Tyson use me as his punching bag. Now my ears have also taken a turn for the worst and I feel that my lymphatic glands are swelling by the hour. My friends like to call me a hypochondriac but my diagnosis is an upcoming cold/flu, finals anxiety and a bad case of homesickness. I am praying that my ailments do not inhibit me from completing my work. This week alone I have two journals and a intro to my unit plan due on Wednesday and an 8-12 page paper due on Friday. Not to mention the fact that I am still teaching and will continue to do so until the 22nd. I am now enlisting the help of the higher power, vitamin C, hot tea, ibuprofen and lots of covers. To fresh grocer I go!!
