love, Marie.

I fell sick yesterday. After getting back from classes at about 3 pm, I went and took a nap. Woke up feeling bad and really weak. Figured it might just be a case of taking a nap in the afternoon which usually makes me grumpy after I wake up.

But no, I was feeling bad all the way until it was night. I had a test to study for the next day but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it as over time, I got worse. It started with my ears feeling irritated. Then a few minutes later, my bottom front teeth started hurting and I started having the sniffles.

And then, my throat started feeling dry and I had three cups of water in a row but I still felt very thirsty. Not long after that, I started coughing. My eyes started to water and my nose started running. And eventually, I got the full blown flu. I have to say though, that this is the first time that it’s ever happened so quickly.

And I still had that test the the next day!

So I called my lecturer up with the intention of asking him if it was alright if I took the test on a later date. He did not pick up the phone so I texted him instead. He replied saying that it was alright.

So I went to bed immediately but kept having to get up in the middle of the night because of all the water I drank.

When I woke up this morning, I was well again. I was shocked! I woke up healthy! I could breathe easy, my flu was gone! It had gone as quickly as it had come.

That. Was. Weird.
