This time of year is notorious for tissues and GermX. I feel like all around me people are dying of one illness or another. My roommate and one of my classmates have had strep, one of my co-workers has had allergies bad enough to knock out a horse, and another co-worker even got pneumonia. I'm not a germ-o-phobe but I feel bombarded by other peoples illness and disease.
Now I was OK with this until last night. My throat started hurting.
I immediately sent my roommate a text about how much I was mad at her for infecting me with her illness. I've been drinking water and hot tea non-stop and that does help a little, but I don't have time to get sick! I'm trying to pull of my senior year of college while also juggling working on campus and my bustling social life.
Now that it's been about twelve hours or so since I started feeling bad I think it's safe to say I don't have strep. Oddly enough my roommate did a great job making sure I didn't get sick. I haven't developed a fever, chills, or blisters on my tonsils so I think it's safe to say my current sore throat is due to allergies and drainage (attractive, I know).
Thankfully I'm still functional, because I'm really looking forward to this weekend's adventure to the Haunted Circus. I will say, to the general public, cover your mouth, wash your hands, and keep it clean. I don't want your diseases.
