why? Why? WHY??
OK. So when they told me that I would get sick alot during my first year of public school teaching, I thought that they meant colds, flu, stomach viruses. I was not prepared to be diagnosed with a Staph infection, get a rash and scab from the bandaid covering said infection, quickly develop clusters of red bumps all over my body and then have bloodwork done to reveal that I also have Shingles. This is all, of course, during my last week of rehearsals before my first play opens. Holy. Crap.
