Cold Season

Yes, I am following up my last post about all the good things that have happened this week with this: I have a cold.

Oh I hate colds! They are so annoying! Colds do not make you sick enough to miss class or go to the doctor, they are just bothersome: the runny nose, the sneezing, the sleepiness (I'm already tired here!) and the persistent headache that always lets you know this cold is going to turn into a sinus infection. Stupid Stupid Stupid Cold.

Luckily, its Friday. Which means I will have a cold over the weekend. A good thing? If you are in college you will understand this: Yes. You see, though I have a lot of homework to do, it is not as much as I would typically do during a week. Also, I can go home and let my mama take care of me :)

Funny thing (and a bit off topic): When I was younger, and pretty much still to this day, my mom always gave us Sprite when we were sick. Actually, I think the whole family was in on it. My Grandad would always say, "Have you been drinking lots of fluids? Do you have any Sprite?" What is it with Sprite that makes it good for you when you are sick? I'm thinking nothing, except that when I was younger it tasted better than water.

Now, I can only drink Sprite when I'm sick. Any other time I can't stand it.

I need some Sprite.
