Sickiness

It's all Mabee one's fault.. they were sick first, and because they're my brother floor, i hung out with them a lot, and i got the sickness that had gone through their whole hall already..
Being sick at college is not fun.. Mainly because there isn't a mommy around to take care of you, make you chicken soup, get medicine, call your teachers, etc, and all that good-nurse-you-back-to-health stuff.. it's ESPECIALLY hard when your parents live on the other side of the world in Asia.
but oh well.. Life goes on, the homework piles up, and... interestingly enough.. you realize how much people notice you when you're not there in class.. I've lost count of how many people commented on how they missed me in class, or noticed it was quieter, or how it was more boring, or just noticed i wasn't there. it's a bit of a confidence booster actually.. not enough of one that i'll try to get sick more often! but still. it's very nice to know that people you only met about a month ago actually and genuinely care and notice when you're not there or just not feeling well.
So basically, thank you to everyone who noticed i was gone on monday, and thank you to the wonderful and amazing nurse who gave me LOTS of drugs!! :D (i love drugs.. teehee.. and i mean that in the non-druggie sense.. cuz i'm not a druggie. i just take pain meds and cold meds when i need them). and thank you April for sending me to the nurse, to all my floor mates who've been wishing me good health, and praying for me, etc.. and helping me do homework... and to my mommy who kept bugging me and checking up on me.. :) I love you mommy! (if you ever read this...)
