Sick During Finals Week

Of course I would catch a cold during finals week. It's most likely that I've gotten it from my roommate. With so much left to catch up on, I hope that it doesn't persist throughout my next exam. My throat was extremely sore yesterday. I woke up to tell my roommate, but when I spoke nothing came out but a squeaky, raspy whisper. It sounded like I had just gotten my tonsils removed. But I couldn't manage to speak any louder without straining my throat.

I remedied it with some strong, Chinese herbal, cough syrup. It tastes like candy and slides down smoothly so I didn't really resist taking it. My throat has been still irritating and bothering me a lot, even when I'm not doing anything. So until then, I'll be drinking lots of liquids (soup and water mostly), getting my daily dose of vitamins, and eating lots of fruit for a boost of Vitamin C. Today will consist of sleeping, sleeping, and some more sleeping. Hopefully I can beat this cold quickly.
