I finally gave up and went to see a Dr. today - after waiting for an hour and 5 mins with the the Dr. I came out with the news that I have myself a case of the good-old-fashioned-flu. Shweeet. She did perscribe some serious cough syrup for night time - since I'm coughing so much I can't sleep.
Basically I've locked myself in my room and I'm gonna try my best not to share. Have to go to classes and work tomorrow - but for today I'm staying in bed.
