A rant on life...
My Christmas vacation from college has, simply put, sucked.
It seems that as "payment" for having had close to three years of good health, I have been hit with a deluge of illnesses, all of which started around finals. It began with a cold. Not too bad, I thought to myself. I can deal with a cold...
Then, it escalated into a horrible sinus infection. I abhor doctors, I must admit. I hate sitting in waiting rooms along side a throng of equally diseased people for three hours to be waited on. However, the severeness of my infection was partly (okay, mostly) my fault, since I put off going to the doctor for so long.
So there I was on Christmas eve, no less, waiting at the medical center for three hours. My ears hurt. My head ached. My face felt like it was going to collapse into itself from all of the sinus pressure. My ears throbbed, and my throat stung. After being seen by the doctor, I was promptly put on antibiotics.
A few days after Christmas, I began to feel better. The sore throat had subsided. My ear infection had cleared. I was only left with a stuffy nose. Alas! I thought I was getting better... The meds I was on made me wired, and I had rapidly lost ten pounds, but I was feeling better... Then, I had an allergic reaction to only God knows what, and my eyes swelled, itched, stung, and burned...
After the pink eye, I then was struck down with the bronchitis I am currently trying to nurse into oblivion. School is only four days away, and I've been sick through my entire holiday. Fan-fucking-tastic!
