The Immune System Boycott

Lubbock has finally had it's first encounter with winter this year--which I love. When I say I love winter, I mean I could run around and make snow men or sit inside and drink hot coco and look out of the window with my rabbit all day--every day. I love, love, love it. What I do NOT love about the cold weather is having to ride my bike to school in the 2 degree weather. Even when fully clothed it is a little rough, but so worth it. I was graciously given boots by my parents over Christmas break and finally had a legitimate excuse to wear them. Anyways, apparently the winter weather does not like me as much as I adore it. Somehow, (even though I wore a lot of clothes Mom) I got sick. When I mean sick, I mean, sick. At first I thought I was coughing from breathing in the cold air, but then the fever hit and so did the pain. I spent my weekend in a Nyquil induced coma-like state. I have never slept for days, until now. It was intense. It took me a while to realize that I was "sick, sick." On Tuesday, I was finally able to drive and was feeling a lot better so ventured to the Dr., I think a little too late. I was already past the worst part but he gave me some cough meds and a "note." So, I was starting to feel better and slowly building up energy and let my immune system catch up. I realized I was very behind in school and have been mad crazy catching up, but as I just found out, I couldn't turn back the clock all the way. I was certain that I could pull off a good grade for my exam--I was wrong. I failed my first last exam. BUT IT'S OVER! Tomorrow is our Vertical Plains Climbing Competition, get ready for some awesome pictures!
