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.

Don't like being sick

For the record I don't think anyone likes to be sick especially on a day like this where the weather is so shitty outside. The fact that my nose is congested beyond belief, is making my life hell right now. It seems like its a trend for me to get sick every once a month. Maybe its my diet or the fact that I like when its cold outside and I embrace the wind. Or it might be the fact that I hang out with people that are sick and don't think that I will become sick myself. I think sometimes I just think I'm superman, like I'm invincible to everything until that day comes when I wake up and my throat hurts like a bitch.
I hate going to classes when I'm sick because all you can hear during the professors lectures is me coughing and sneezing in the background. I try to hold it so I try not to interrupt so it becomes like that the whole class me just trying not to cough or sneeze and just thinking about how terrible this cold is. Next thing you know the lecture is almost done and I don't really know anything. Another reason why I might be sick is that I don't take medicine as much as I should. I usually forget and it just prolongs the cold. I know a lot of these things are my fault and I have to fix them myself but the fact I have a cold now just overrides everything and I don't feel like doing anything.
