Oh man I feel like crap. I came down with some kind of flu-like stuff (aches, headaches, sore throat and chills) like my dad had yesterday. I still went to school because of the retarded absent policy (if you miss more than 5 days, you don't get to exempt exams), so basically you get punished for breathing the same air that someone else had. I could understand "punishing" for missing school to go to the Bahahamas or something, but I don't think they should limit sick days, especially if you can get a doctor's note. Anyways, I'm not going to school today, and perhaps tomorrow, depending on how today goes. I am feeling better than I did yesterday though, but that is probably because I got a ton of sleep after I got back home from school. Sleep helps. Last night was no fun either, as I kept waking up and couldn't get a good nights sleep. I also was feeling nauseous, probably because I kept tossing and turning, but now I'm feeling better in that regard. Ugh, I hate being sick.

Update: Well, around noon I had a 102.4 degree temperature, so I took a very long and very cold shower to bring it down to 100. And just about 10 minutes ago I threw up into the toilet (which I'm sure you wanted to know :), but it's amazing how much better you feel after you've thrown up. Sometimes I feel pretty decent (not good but not horrendously bad - like right now), but other times I feel like terrible. I can't wait till I shake this thing.
