Wonderful...

About 2 weeks ago, I started feeling a little sick. I was achey all over and had a little bit of a fever. I wasn't too worried, and just tried to treat the symptoms as they came, but just go on with my life. I moved into my apartment that same week, which was a little hard just because of all the stress of new roommates, new rooms, new classes, and getting increasingly sick. My throat started to hurt pretty bad and I couldn't sleep at night. Then I started getting so nauseous that I could hardly eat anything without wanting to throw it back up. You can imagine how much fun I was, especially to all those girls that I just met! I started going through my first week of classes, and it was really hard. I wasn't getting enough sleep, so classes were a real trial. Then I couldn't eat, so I was always hungry and fatigued, but couldn't do much about it. I really was doing my best, but it felt like it just wasn't good enough. Well, friday morning, I woke up and my tonsils and lymph nodes were so swollen, it was getting hard to swallow anything or even breathe. And it hurt like heck. I told my mom about it and she convinced me to go to the doctor. I went and the doctor told me that it sounded like I was chocking on my tonsils. I had a blood test and they swabbed the back of my throat. I thought it was going to be strep, but turns out it was something much better. I won the prize and found out I have mono! Apparently it's a pretty bad case too. Now I'm taking about 6 pills a day and many doses of pain medicine so it doesn't hurt as much to swallow. I can't drive and my head is kind of fuzzy, but I'm glad that I'm getting things figured out! Now I'm at home so I can get my family sick instead of my roommates, but my mama is doing a good job of making me feel better. She even bought me my favorite breakfeast even though I'm only here for the weekend! She's the best! Hopefully I'll get better soon so I won't have to skip any classes and my roommates won't continue to think I'm the most boring, anti-social person on the planet.
