I feel sick and I don't want to feel sick

This week... well... I was sick for half of spirit week. Home three out of five days of the biggest event in third quarter. I was at school on Thursday. I got there late. I didn't know what to do. I still felt a bit sick. The day was actually pretty normal. I expected every day to have a huge schedule change like winter fair; this didn't happen. On Friday, I came on time. I still felt sick, as you do when you are sick. I went to the health room because I felt dizzy (even though I wasn't that dizzy.) My team won the relay race. I didn't really care about that team stuff. I've forced myself to not be competitive because it always gets me too worked up. Definitely... underwhelming because I missed half of it.

Proof I was sick

I don't really have a highlight of the week. Nothing exciting happened to me when I was there. Mr. Ing frequently mentioned to us in the past months that this would be really major. I guess my highlight is that I didn't mess up in a very consequential way. As far as I know, no one got in major trouble like what has happened in previous events, (ISA, Intramurals, etc.) at least on Thursday and Friday. A lowlight of the week would be getting sick during spirit week. I'm thinking to myself how much more I could've learned if I was there. Sadly, this is all I'm going to get out of spirit week while in leadership. Also, on the last two days of the week, I felt sick and I could barely play my French Horn. In total, I give the flu a -1/10 for persistence in resistance to my immune system.

I learned that being sick makes it super hard to do normal things like paying attention in school when you're really tired and your head hurts and sleeping would actually be more beneficial to you in the long term. Trying to play a musical instrument that uses breath is also hard when your nose is stuffed and throat is sore and it's hard to take deep breaths because you'll be breathing mucus. I kind of went on a tangent about that but its true and I missed most of the week.
