Sick with flu, once again

It happens almost every time when I start a new school term (and sometimes when I end a term). I get sick for some reason, mostly stupid reasons. On Saturday, I felt really warm when I went to bed, so I decided to leave the window opened. And I got sick like that! Just like that! And I hate catching a cold, because my symptoms are really annoying. I cough a lot, which is really painful for me as I have bad lungs (having a history of pnumonia <-- how to you spell this? and asthma). Yesterday was worse than usual though, I had fever and back pains.

Today when I got up I felt deprived of all energy, but I still decided to go to school because I don't really like to miss the first and second week of class, especially when I still have all these course schedule crap to sort out. Thank goodness I managed to get a seat on the bus, I slept through the whole way. I felt dizzy through the whole day. After I finished my second class, I thought about going home, since I was most likely going to drop the third class. But somehow I still waited through my two hours break - wandering around the geography building with terrible back pain and dizziness - and went anyway. After class, I thought I should still be courteous and notify the professor that I am going to drop the course, and I thought I might as well ask for her opinions. She basically convinced me to stay in the class - I love enthusiastic instructors.

For the whole bus ride back home, my back pains didn't cease. Usually I would only get muscle pain around my legs and arms, never my BACK. Originally I thought about stopping by the grocery store to get myself a salad for tonight's dinner, but ended up doing grocery shopping. By the time I arrived home, I was half dead and basically skinned off my clothings and got onto bed for a two hours sleep.

By the time I woke up I was still in pain. So I called some clinics around me to try and make an appointment. And NONE of them was open or available. I couldn't even sit properly becuase my back ached so much. I lay down for a while and read my textbook, sat at the desk again to work on my assignment. Now I'm typing this with a cushion against my back. And I'm typing this because I can't fall asleep nor can I concentrate on my studies.
