So, after spending most of the day yesterday curled up in bed, I'm once again at school not quite feeling better, but not nearly as bad as before. I started to feel a cold coming on the middle of last week and felt pretty crappy from Thursday on. I've been steadily keeping myself drugged up on any cold medicine I have since last Wed., but my store of medicine from home is yet again dwindling quickly. I kinda knew I wasn't really getting better but kept trying to fight off feeling bad and coughing all the day Sat. I woke up Sunday and felt pretty weak and spent most of the day sleeping in bed and watching tv. I thought I would have felt better yesterday after sleeping who knows how many hours, but I only woke up feeling more stuffed up and heavy headed than ever. You know when your sinuses fill and your head feels like a bowling ball? That was me almost all day yesterday. I woke up after 10, made a pancake to eat and promptly went back to sleep after only being awake around 45 min. I woke up at around 1:30 and pretty much knew I wasn't gonna make it to school. I finally got a hold of Alex, after calling 2 other times and told her the bad news. I felt a little bad, but this is my only sick day that I've taken since being here. I was legitimatly feeling pretty lousy, hacking away and basically just wanting to sleep. I watched some horrible soap operas (I had little English programing to choose from) and fell back asleep around 3 something, only waking occasionaly to have bouts of hacking. At around 9 I rolled out of bed, feeling like it must at least have been the next day, but decided to try to eat something as it was still only Mon. night. Anyhow...to make a long story short, I'm still not 100%, but I'm doing a hell of a lot better today. I sound like a boy going through puberty, but at least my head feels relatively normal again. I'm not giving up the pseudophed just yet though...
