No Shorts Today September 13, 2006 09:51:28 PM
Hardly a month into the new semester and I'm already wearing pants. Today marks the first day down here at Tech that I didnt wear shorts :-( I hate pants, they're so restrictive and they make me feel too hot and sweaty and uncomfortable bleh. It was chilly today (doesnt normally stop me), looked like it was gonna break out pouring, and I'm still sick, so being caught in those conditions with shorts and sandles probabbly wouldnt help me recover to quickly, so I conceded. Oh well, what can ya do :-/
About my sickness, I seem to be a little better today than yesterday. Its strange, I wake up feeling fine. But the longer Im awake the worse I feel. Like I mean i wake up with a nice dry nose, a clear throat, and no caughing. But once I get out of bed, and start doing my daily thing, all those things come back. Its like during sleep, the viruses say, ''All right, we'll cut this guy a break just long enough to get some sleep'' Aw, nice guys! Also, someone told me the other day that your average cold, (hopefully thats all this is) lasts about 4 days. I'm not sure yet, but I think he might be right. I feel like I'm already on the road to recovery, and tomorrow would be the official day 4, so if by Friday, I'm feeling almost completely up to parr, than his theory is correct.
It should also be worth noting, I can tell Im getting better, but I took no medicine. I do not want to take the stuff unless absolutely necessary. I will just 'walk it off' as it were, 'suck it up' and 'take it like a man'. Seriously, people are too dependant on the stuff, and use it way to often when in most casses it just isnt necessary. This constant use of medicines, especially antibiotics, is only making things worse for ourselves a little ways down the road. Viruses and bacteria reproduce like crazy, some yielding hundreds of generations every 24 hours! That allows for a much higher rate of evolutionary adaptation. And with the presence of so much medicine, they're only going to gain an immunity to the stuff. So if we want medicines to continue working, we shouldnt use the stuff. I like this phrase, 'If it doesnt kill you, it only makes you stronger.'
