I was just waiting for someone to ask.
I was sick over the weekend, not dying but pretty sick. Felt good enough to go to school. So I walked for half an hour to get there, I must have been a little slow cause I was late...Anyway, i sit down and feel this tickle in the back of my throat and start to cough...okay, I've been doing that all weekend. But then I really start hacking, LOUD and I can't stop. I am disrupting 300 ppl and a prof with my lung seizures. So I try to get up and kind of fall against my desk and just get out of the classroom before I collapse.
I got up, made my way to the washroom and coughed so hard I burst a bloodvessel in my eye, was crying, and threw up just from the coughing. A student in a white coat comes in and sees me kind of gripping the sink and hacking away and thank god, makes sure I'm alright. She asks me whilst I'm red eyed, hyperventalating, and really unpleasant in every concieviable way what my major is. So I said between gasps for air, "I'm gonna be a doctor". About 25 minutes later, I am not coughing as much and decide to go home but all my STUFF is still in the class of 300 ppl. So I sit out there for a while steeling myself to enter facing the class.
Normally no problem, but I looked so bad just SITTING there not coughing that I had 5 strangers ask if I needed some medical assistance...BAD. So I finally went in, got my crap and walked out and started hacking again. I finally made it home, and realized I have to pay a ticket today or the fine goes up...and then I had to get some medicine..and some food etc.
So I was running errands all day, hacking my lungs up and of COURSE while I look like shit I run into everyone from high school and or previous classes. They all opened with "are you okay? you look pale"
Arg. Cough cough cough.
