School is winding down
We have made it into the last week of regular school! That would normally make me really excited, and even give me a boost of energy as all the classes are winding down. This week should be enjoyable.
Unfortunately it is not.
Why, you ask? Because I’m sick.
I was able to survive a month-long barrage of illness, but in the last week of school my immune system fails, and I now have a cold.
This means I really don’t want to be in school. I am suffering with a stuffy head and congestion while I try to pay attention in my classes and succeed in my quest to find a room with a tissue box.
This means that classes, which usually feel really slow around this time of year, seem twice as long at least. This means that the awards ceremony, which is always very long, seems to go on forever. Sometimes it feels like the blue clock in Room 218 is accurately telling the time.
I would like nothing more than to go home, with a nice filled box of tissues, and rest until this stupid illness goes away. But I can’t do that until I trudge through three more days of classes.
At least I have a three-day weekend to look forward to, right?
