Down with the Sickness

Last Saturday, I hung out with my friends late in the night. The next morning I felt an uncomfortable and irritating feeling in my throat. I usually get a sore throat every month but this one was exceptionally annoying. I tried gargling mouth wash and hot water to ease the irritation, and it worked for a while. The next day I wake up very dizzy and hot. My whole face was full of sweat and when I got up from my bed I couldn't walk straight. I tried sleeping it off but I woke up with even worse symptoms. My cough was the worst thing about getting sick because it feels like coughing up saw dust. Really, my throat was very dry and every time I coughed I held my throat. I ate Cinnamon Toast crunch and thereafter I never consumed anything. I didn't even drink anything until 11 pm at night. I left my room swaying from side to side looking as lifeless as possible. It reminded of that time I was really wasted, but that was just temporary. When I walked down the stairs to the vending machine, I felt a gradual pain that kept on growing. I thought I would have passed out on the stairs but I continued on and went on a buying rampage. I bought Nestea Ice Tea, Doritos, Cheezits, Lays Chips, Snickers, M & Ms, Skittles, and other things I didn't remember. Unbelievably I ate all of these things in a matter of minutes, and I did feel a lot better.
Today I feel a lot better because I drank two bottles of Orange Juice, and tonight I hope the Nyquil will relieve me of my illness.
