Sick again
I think I'm dying again.
Now they think it's strep or some other really bad thing. My nodes in my throat area are swollen to the point where they are apparent from the naked eye, my neck hurts, i can barely swallow, and i'm wiped out even after two-point-five days of significant rest this weekend.
Mom and dad want to fly me home if I get worse again. They say I can't have school stop me from getting well. Which f***s s*** up, what with my scholarship and all. I don't even know if I can audit the classes or if they'll go on as is, with all the assignments, tests, and such missed in the next week (which is three papers and a test, all in different classes and all at least worth 25% of my grade).
I just want to lay down and do nothing, but my drive and restlessness keeps me going, because I have a duty.
Tell me to slow down, I probably won't listen.
I'm going to kill myself in the pursuit of knowledge and a low-cost college education.
Damn it.
