Ok so a couple of you have read Amanda's entry on not getting sick...WELL IT DOESN'T WORK! I got soo incredibly sick this weekend it wasn't even funny. I lost my voice, I couldn't breathe, my throat was swollen and sore from coughing, and the worst part is...I CAN'T SLEEP NOW BECAUSE I SLEPT THE WEEKEND AWAY!
Here is the course of events:
1) I called my mom at about 2:30 PM Friday to see what time she was picking me up to bring me home after work. Her response was you are calling off work because you can barely talk and I am coming for you now.
2) I get home at about 4:30ish and my mom makes dinner, which was really good even though it hurt to swallow, and then made me take Nyquil and go to bed. Now anyone who has ever taken Nyquil knows about its effects on people. Basically I was dead. (Click here for a fun poem on Nyquil!)
3) Woke up at about 2:30 AM Saturday and my mother again made me take some Nyquil and go back to bed after giving me tea and soup.
4) Woke up at 10 AM Saturday morning just to be told I had half an hour to shake off the aftereffects of Nyquil and get ready for a performance at which I was supposed to sing. Well the singing never happened because I could barely whisper.
5) Upon arrival at the performance, my mom gets more tea and makes me drink it, but it doesn't have the effect everyone was hoping for and someone else had to sing my solo. However, in between sets at the show I did get to take naps. MORE SLEEP!
(So quick recap...My mom made me sleep and approximated 20 hours from Friday to Saturday.
6) My uncle and aunts bring be back here to Seton Hill at about 8 PM on Saturday night. I was so incredibly hyper that I didn't get to my room until like 2 AM Sunday and well 1/2 hour later I was asleep and I didn't wake up until 9 AM this morning.
SO IN CONCLUSION I SLEPT A TOTAL OF LIKE 26-28 HOURS ALL WEEKEND.
Any questions.....

Look on the bright side though: at least you were sick mostly over the weekend. It's really awful when you have to sit through classes feeling so miserable. Plus, it annoys everyone else when you have to keep blowing your nose!
So, what was the performance you unfortunately had to miss? What song were you supposed to sing? That really stinks that you weren't feeling up to par. Will there be a second chance for you to perform?
