My life in State College: Germs

I'm sick again. Well, at this point I have a sore throat and I'm starting to feel a bit sneezy today...ugh.

How? I had bronchitis only 2 months ago...it's not fair...

I might attribute it to the fact that my roommate is sick: my roommate, who is a high school teacher and has daily contact with teenage germs. Ew, disgusting.

It might also be that while in Chicago, my hotel-roommate E was coming down with something herself, and when she got home it blew up into a nasty cold.

OR perhaps it's the general germy fact that I sat in four different airplanes to and from Chicago...mmmm shared airspace. Shoulda used hand sanitizer!

I'll probably never know the exact source of it, but it's annoying me. I want to go to the gym and work out! Since Saturday I've been watching the calories to keep under 1290/day (to lose a pound a week) and so far it's been mostly fine...but I really want to get on the treadmill again...attempts to ward the cold off with lots of sleep and tea have been helpful though not entirely successful. Will keep trying though!
