in sickness

2009-02-17 1:15 p.m.

I should really be getting a hearty pat on the back right now. Despite being deathly ill, I got up out of bed, ignored the throbbing in my head and the nausea in my throat, and went to class. I don't think I've ever felt worse than last night/this morning. Whatever is wrong with me, it's serious business. I could describe my symptoms but no one wants to read about phlegm and snot.

I'm incredibly miserable right now.

The only way I can describe my mood right now is something akin to postpartum depression. This is what I imagine it to be. I'm not necessarily in a bad mood, but I'm not cheerful. It probably doesn't help that I can't breathe and taste nausea. I can't believe I got out of bed to listen to my professor relate the Jonas Brothers and Justin Timberlake to the chinese Cultural Revolution.

"Oops, I don't have any more slides."

It's a thousand degrees in this room and I'm learning nothing. I'm actually getting pretty rankled. Maybe I am in a bad mood.
