*757 - flu

With the 700-ish likely swine flu cases at Cornell (and rising, each time I check), it makes me mildly worried about my really intense flu-like symptoms at the moment, but since I don't have a fever, I'm more concerned about the fact that I have so much work to do but am suffering from a woolly brain, aches and chills, and severely congested passages and just want to go back to bed. And I can't quite afford to miss classes.

(Later)

Update: I've been awake today for a grand total of maybe six hours and need to go back to bed soon. I did five hours worth of homework (but haven't finished), had three cups of tea, and made apple sauce, even though what I really wanted was Mummy's porridge.

On the bright side, illness is temporary and even though one might feel like (*$!@^(!$ with the flu, one will always feel better in a matter of days and all the (*$!@^(!$ will soon be forgotten.
