Leave it to me to be diagnosed with Strep throat in the middle of the summer.
Yes, my tonsils are the size of golf balls.
And yes, I'm asking myself why I couldn't be this sick when I'm in school.
I look exactly like that movie cliche where the guy gets depressed, stays in his room for days, and then comes out unshaven and unkempt.
The hours of house arrest I've been spending have produced such thoughts as that I would rather lose an arm than have to cringe every time I swallow.
I wonder why humans have to swallow even when they're not digesting anything.
You don't realize that you do this until you get a sore throat.
I tried seeing how long I could go without swallowing and it was like holding your breath or not blinking.
