Ill

4th day of the study week. This 4 days were just great, note my sarcasm.

On Monday, my brother remained ill so I took him to the doctor. He did the H1N1 test, and it came out positive. Oh joy. 10 days MC for him. Spent almost $160 on the fees. Thus, the quarantine began.

At night, I got ill too. A bad sore throat. I went to the doctor the next day on my own. The administrator thought I had it too. But, as long as I don't have fever or other symptoms, I should be quite safe.

Then, my illness got worst. I had blocked nose and felt aches all over my body. I think it should be like dengue, only milder. I felt lethargic too.

3rd day remains the same. Took my temperature and it hovered around 37.1. Slept through my afternoon after taking the cocktail of pills. Pill for block nose, antibiotics for sore throat, pills for pain. Add barley water, herbal tea and cups of water to that list.

And for some weird reason, I cried. I felt lost and pathetic. It's been ages since I had been this ill. H1N1 must be potent, indeed.

My nose is still blocked as I'm typing this.

OK, this is the worst study break ever. I can't even study much due to my illness. I did toy with the idea of getting H1N1 because then, I can achieve the fullest potential when I'm ready.

This is just wrong. It's like hanging off a cliff. Nether here or there.

On one hand, let's say I've H1N1. Pro 1: I will not be able to take exams next week. Con 1: I'll not be able to fulfill my plans; 3 day stay in school, chalet, going to Borders. Con 2: Everyone will be relieved of the burden of exams while I'll be taking them. Con 3: People received their results while I can't.

On the other, let's say I remain ill but not H1N1 positive. Pro 1: I can do the things I want once my exams are over. Pro 2: The burden of exams will be gone. Pro 3: I'll be able to enjoy my holidays to the fullest. Con 1: While ill, I'm not able to do my best in studying. Con 2: I'll just cry if my grades are bad. Con 3: My potential is not achieved!

Unfortunately, the second option is the better one. I really want exams to be over in a snap. But, I don't want to look back at my grades and GPA and regret it. This is supposed to be the easiest term!

The best option is to, recover before tomorrow. Or, remain ill until my exams are over, so I can get a MC to hand it up with my exam papers.

This is completely stupid, I felt stupid for thinking of all these.
