Sick Once Again

I feel like I haven't been sick in ages, but you know, here we are, at that seasonal change where my body decides it doesn't want to do what it normally does any more. I don't know whether it's because I'm burning a fever or because the temperature is just too damn high outside, but I'm overheating. I've taken drugs, but I doubt they're effective because they treat bacterial infections, and chances are I have a viral infection. So now I'm doing this thing where I'm trying to convince myself that what I swallowed was not antibiotics, but in fact a miracle pill which cures all diseases and ailments, in hope of inducing a placebo effect.

...Sadly, I don't think my attempt at self-inducing a placebo effect is working.

I ended up here, in front of my computer, casually blogging instead of attending my lectures. I'm so glad that university isn't like high school, where missing a day of classes was hell. Well, I suppose not going to lectures is pretty bad, since the information sounded useful, but at least they now post recordings online, so I can listen to that at my leisure (if I ever get around to it). I probably wouldn't have caught on to much if I attended my lectures in my current state anyway. I feel like absolute crap.

Strangely I haven't reached that nose-block/sniffling stage of my illness yet. Usually my sore throats don't persist for longer than a day before it goes away and becomes replaced by a nose which runs like a broken tap. I do have a persisting headache though.

And now I'm hearing this "ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump" sound in my head, which eerily reminds me of dancing chipmunks- though I'm not sure I've ever seen a dancing chipmunk. In any case, I am horribly sick once again, and I hate my life.
