oh, get over it.

I probably should have stayed home today.

Having gone to school with fevers before, and having taken tests despite it,
I thought that today would be one of those days.

It wasn't that the fever was terribly high, because I've been through worse before.
But it has always occurred to me that the worst part about being sick is not the illness, but the crankiness that comes with it.
You are way more sensitive to noise,
Children screaming on the bus reverberates throughout your brain
Someone's generic game and the constant, repetitive twinkly congratulation sound effects,
The constant coldness that creeps onto your forehead
and the contrasting heat around your neck,
The strange sweat that follows after,
And the repeat of the cycle.
The dizziness, the slight loss of focus.
The headache that's like a stubborn tenant,
One that makes you feel like your brain's getting knocked
against the inside of your skull when you
Sneeze,

And, well, I got a little emotional.


I know it isn't a good thing to attend school despite sickness,
But hey
I ain't that noble to want to contain my illness unless it's something like hand foot mouth disease or the pox.

I can't miss lessons, lectures in particular.
And do you know how expensive an MC is?
And that's why
I am not gonna miss school tomorrow.

There is a math lecture and tutorial after all,
And seriously-
I'd die a horrible death if those were missed;
Those chapters are taught at the speed of a unicorn in a spaceship zooming past you.


It's not right to do this,
It isn't but I'm gonna do it anyway because I'm not that selfless.


Aaaaand now I'm upset because I can't change the font of these words for some reason,
And I've forgotten the link for math, which means that I can't do the revision package.




Why hellooo, crankiness.
