Sick sucks.
So, I have a cold. Admitting the fact doesn't make me feel any better or any worse, doesn't make it go away faster or less painfully. But damn, it feels good to complain a little.
Yeah, I realize everyone else on the planet has been sick this last month. Well, sorry, but you should have kept it to yourself. Jerks.
But now I shall delite in a rampage of all the reasons is sucks to be sick.
1) Brain fuzzy. Midterms looming. Study study? No brainy? Aw, shucks.
2) You try to explain things in two word sentences because your brain is fuzzy and no one understands (Example: See above).
3) You ty to sthpeak wid a duffed up node, ad nobody uderstads.
4) Kleenex and cold meds are on sale the week before and the week after you are sick. I also think that student loans should add "cold meds" to their list of things they calculate your budget with. Like any student gets through a year of school without at least one or two viral attacks of hell.
5) You stifle your coughing all during class, making your eyes water and your throat burn, letting out only one or two coughs (covering your mouth) the entire time, only to have some crazy girl turn to you at the end of class and say "Thanks a lot. Now why don't you go to a doctor so at least I'll figure out what I'm going to catch". Ahem. That would be thoracic syphilis, biatch.
6) Despite rehydration attempts with mass amounts of lotion and balm (which burns every time you reapply), your nose dries out, your lips crack... and every time you blow your nose, the relief is so bittersweet, because you know another portion of nose-skin is gone... forever.
7) You cheer every time you sneeze (aka: approximately every other minute) because it is so much better than it getting stuck in your nose... I could make a lot of similes here, but I will abstain. Suffice it to say, sneezes stuck are more than just "unsatisfying".
Now that I have finished my rant, off I go to bed with me trusty nightcap (aka: nasty neo citron).

I know exactly where you are coming from. Last semester, the week of all my finals, I got the worst cough..my tonsils were the size of texas and it was aweful! I go to the drug store and buy everything I would need to sooth my throat and minimize my coughing during my 3 hour exams. That night, it turns from throat to the worst head cold ever! I couldn't sit down for more than 10 minutes or I was unable to breath, so I had to get up and walk around. I had already spent a fortune on cough medicine and such and that night I didn't even need it! GRRR!!! During all my exams I sat with about 10 pounds of kleenex in each pocket and was constantly blowing it. I was that annoying person that was sniffling! Man, I hate that person! After my exams I went to stay with my sister and she informed me I looked like death. I couldn't close my mouth because then I wouldn't be able to breath at all, and that would have been bad!!!! So, the moral of my story...I know where you are coming from, and I sympathize with you! Hopefully the cold from hell won't come again this semester..and if it does, not the week of finals!
