dô stuont ich in mînem hemede...

I am at home, down with the flu, missing the second day of my internship. Grrrrrrrrrr. I hate having the flu! I thought it was a bright idea to ignore it at first, because I wanted to go. My body was against that, though, my tonsils - well, all my lymph nodes are hurting like hell - like my left eardrum, the blasted thing - when it does I am slightly dizzy all the time - all minor, but annoying things.  
My valiant attempt at getting up and leaving anyway were slightly impeded by the fact that I could not get down our own blasted stairs without stumbling several times and having to steady myself on the railing. I really wonder what's the matter there.  

Grrrrrrr. Today would have been a great day, too. It would have not only meant seeing the nice English teacher again, but also met a really capable German teacher, who on top of everything apparently likes trainees. And it'd all been in the same class. And the other class is writing a German test today, so I wouldn't even have had to leave the house at 6.30 am. Grrrrrr!

Well. The good thing is that I finally have time to read some assignments and to plan some papers. I guess this really is too much to get used to. I wonder how the others with full time tables manage...Somewhere between Tuesday and Thursday next week, I am just going to stop moving and drop dead, right where I am, and people are going to walk all over my dead  body on the way to their courses with that slightly robotic look Hamburg students acquire during the second week of semester.

Aw, sweetie! You take care of yourself! It's good you're using the time at home to be productive, but if you're ill you need to rest too. *shakes finger*

It's probably because of the problem with your ear. There's some connection between the inner ear and balance.

Anyway, take care of yourself!

Thanks! I will try. :)

Yup, the organ of equilibrium is in the inner ear, isn't it? The thing with the small hairs and the liquid that help the body determine which way we're up? Either in the vestibule or in the labyrinth, I can't remember. Or both? Man, biology's a long way away. The whole thing is probably inflamed again, then I'm always slightly wobbly. Hrmph.

Poor you, that sounds horrible! I hope you'll get better really soon. Though I have to say that just staying in bed without worrying about assignments and papers might be more helpful there...

Thanks, dearest!

Worrying about assignments and papers is sadly very much part of my lifestyle at the moment. :P

I know, but it doesn't make you get well quicker.

Aw, I hope you get better soon! (Although, if you are still ill tomorrow, that would be an advantage in at least one respect. You know what I'm speaking of, don't you.)

I hooooope I won't be ill tomorrow. It would be the second seminar I'm missing on Friday, as it's the second Narratology one I'm missing today. I had to sacrifice Narratology to an office hour last Thursday, and somehow, I don't want to have to worry about too many absences during the fourth week of semester, whether I'm going to write papers in the Seminars I'm missing or not.

Aw, get well, soon, ok? - And give yourself some time to rest.

*hugs and hands over a hot cup of tea and a pack of handkerchiefs*

*takes tea and hankies* Thanks! :)

Yep, like people say, take care of yourself! The more you force yourself to do stuff when you're ill, the longer you take to get better & if you're dragging yourself into school or university then you're risking making them ill too!

So wrap up, look after yourself & see a doctor if you need to!

*Hugs*

*hugs* I'll try. :)
