So about two weeks ago, right after mid-semester break, I was quarantined for having flu like symptoms for three days. Even though mid-semester break was a well deserved break, right when I came back to campus I felt really sick. Fever, body aches, and a really painful headache...it was pretty bad. I thought being sick was going to be okay because I thought I would be able to do homework, but I didn't. Instead I stayed in bed, slept-in, and actually rested. It was nice except for the being sick part. What was even worse was that I wasn't even prepared for classes. I was off quaratine on Thursday, which is the day I have all my labs, and I was pretty lost in all my labs, and I also still had my piercing headache. On Friday i felt semi-prepared for class, so during the weekend I actually did quite a bit of homework.
Lesson learned. Being sick really is not much of a break, especially if you have a heavy course load. Doing homework when your sick, really doesn't work either. In fact, I found that I felt better when I just slept in my bed. Definitely stay healthy here at Norwich, otherwise you'll be really behind on academics and feel really lost.
