Not feelin’ it

This definitely has not been the greatest start to my semester. Not only did I strain my ankle last week, I’ve somehow contracted a fever in the past 28 hours. When I came back from work last night, I was shivering and passed out right away. Worst night of sleep ever, seriously. I woke up several times throughout the night, sweating profusely and yet still feeling extremely chilled at the same time. My throat was starting to throb painfully, and I was just plain feeling awful. I woke up around 7 in the morning, tried downing a glass of milk, and returned to bed, waking up intermittently until 10, at which point I tried to make myself feel better in order to make it to my three classes.

At the moment, I still feel like shit. The feverish chills I could handle, but my throat is killing me. I could barely eat anything today, and all I’m craving right now is chicken noodle soup, of which I have none. Blarghh.

I’m not quite sure how I’m going to handle this semester. Currently I’m at 18 credit hours. That’s 6 classes, 4 of which are advanced hours. I think I might just be in over my head. I have 100+ pages of reading assigned for practically every day in my HIST 472 class. And my Shakespeare class? I already feel like an idiot in that one, even though I’m starting to actually grow fond of the guy. Don’t even get me started on my lit theory course. I absolutely despise it. Not only is my teacher dull and incredibly awkward, I just don’t plain get what’s going on. I didn’t think I would actually hate an English class until ENGL 301.

I’m lacking motivation. I need something to jump start me on this semester.
