So I'm sick. I haven't been sick in so long. I went into work yesterday anyway thinking I'd get over it - I'm never sick! I get headaches/migraines now and then and the occasional beginnings of a cold, but I'll then take it slow for a day or so, get some exercise and douse it with several serious rounds of Airborne and vitamins and I'm good to go. Well not yesterday. Yesterday I spent half my shift leaning over the throne and the other half he-he breathing to keep from hurling on people.
Well, on the plus side I haven't eaten anything in two days - score! I'm someone who has an iron stomach (generally), almost nothing kills my appetite, but yesterday, just the smell of food sent me ralphing. A student that I often work with made the mistake of being very sweet and brought me a giant chocolate muffin which was very very chocolate smelling. Immediately I started to tear-up (and not in a 'touched' way), but I tried to thank her for it between heaves. urg... and I had to miss class today, which stinks, especially given the fact that one of my instructors totally has it in for me - I was really trying to provide her with few opportunities to mark me down in any way. If there weren't so few people in this class I could probably get away with it. Oh well.
Anyway, I was sick yesterday but still at work, so l had to work. But because I was feeling so crappified, my self-editing brain was kind of kaputt, so I had a hard time with comments from (non-ESL) students like " you is goin' too fast fo' my own self!" ... that stuff just wears me out.
