Okay, to start off, I think that this "swine flu" thing is just going too far. So many classmates at my school are going waaaaay far away from the truth, and there are so many rumors going around such as, "the swine flu is going to kill us all!" or "oh no, I have the swine flu and lots of people have already died of it!" Well, I personally think that the news people were looking for a story and when they heard about the people in Mexico dying of the flu, they brought it over as an "end of the world" kind of thing. Granted, it is very sad that people ARE dying, but I really think that the people here are too hygenic (ok maybe not everyone) to first of all GET the flu, and then DIE of it. Some people are just too... panic-stricken. Also, its started to get ridiculous; because, in almost every single one of my classes it was brought up. Anyway, it's kind of amazing that there are actually those who are so afraid that they cause exploded rumors and make everyone else nervous as well. You know, the people who run around screaming "The apocalypse is coming! It's the end of the world! We are all going to die!" that kind of stuff. Not literally of course, but I'm sure we all know someone like that. =)

Being sick is no fun at all! For the past few days I have had a stuffy nose, been coughing, had bloody noses, a sore throat, and some aches. I am feeling a little better today, so I am happy about that! Hopefully I don't get anyone else sick, because it has been pretty miserable, but even so, I am very grateful to be reminded of how good it is when I feel completely healthy!
