Fever's hit and run

Suffering from a "now you feel it, then next moment you don't" syndrome for fever. As of now, I feel completely not a single chill of a fever, and totally at ease. But two hours ago, I was shivering intensively. Has the dominant, intruding fever finally adapt and adopt 'guerilla tactics'. The condition I am in right now, makes me wonder why I am at home and not at school.

Last night, I was very certain I was having a fever. The warm forehead and the burning sensation engulfing my throat, and in contrast, ice shards petrifying my limbs and arms. A total domination by fever itself. I couldn't sleep well. And the entire night I just lay motionless trying to assuage the pain by thinking of happier thoughts. I tried to make myself laugh, (I read somewhere that laughter generate endorphins that are painkillers?), to no avail. I can't be laughing out loud to myself in the middle of the night I guess. All attempts were in vain, even any attempts, any sleeping position. Early in the morning, I took a temperature test and my temperature was relatively high, 38+. Explains all that suffering.

Panadol helped the most. But my dad was telling me that I shouldn't always rely on panadol to relieve fever pains. As thus, it might become less and less effective in the future. And that was why I suffered the entire night because I refused to take medicine. And only in this morning, (as a last resort), I had two pills which completely put out of the fire.

I'm feeling completely fine now. Even my two hour session at the piano this morning seems pretty alright. my fingers have not been intruded by the fever. What irks me now is that fever may strike again any moment, especially when the effect of the panadol wears off. Feeling so comfortable right now, it even disturbs me to think that in another hour I might be bedridden again. But again, I might be mistaken. Let's hope this bug is gone for good.

Let me make a confession. I was lazy to go to school yesterday. And today, (right now), the fact that Im feeling so unfeverish now makes me feel guilty of repeating history. But I have to ease the guilt by reminding myself how bad the fever was this morning.

My birthday is exactly one week from now. I promised some people about a celebration, but I wonder how is it going to be now. Called off? I don't know. (thickskin mode) Buy presents for me people! (exit thickskin mode)

It's friday! And probably I just created an extremely long weekend for myself this week.

It's time to slack as much as possible now because the days ahead seem gloomy. Relentless school work even after common test. I'm like an average of TWO tutorials behind in every subject and very likely I know nothing about the tutorials which I haven't done (been sleeping in lectures). I wonder how people can even stay awake in lectures. I seriously question the productivity of lectures. I think I can cover whatever that is covered in the lecture myself in half the time because the lecture's pace is way too slow that I feel drowsy because of that.
Anyway, it's a good thing that my results always turn out with a more than 100% efficiency with respect to effort. I shouldn't be satisifed with my results, infact, it's quite horrible that I have 3S-es, but considering the effort Ive put in, the tutorials I have not done, I think it's a pretty good accomplishment. Aim for a pass and you will fail by a little, thats an important lesson Ive learnt this time.

And people who are sympathetic are not nessecarily friends.
