The perfect sick day

I woke up with sore throat on Sunday and it continued to get worse as the day went on. I sucked it up on Monday and went to work. Have you ever swallowed razor blades for fun? Well, if you have, then you know what my throat felt like. If you havent, just imagine swallowing a razor blade and then repeating 100+ times. The student worker had all the same symptoms as me so we were able to swap symptoms to see who was worst off. I managed to make it through the day but then faced a 5 hour drawing class. When we finally reached our break time, I knew I had enough and thought I would just go home. I really didnt care about the loss of a few attendance points. I told my teacher what was going on and I would probably not return to class after break. She laid on the good ole guilt trip and started naming off treatments I should try from Wild Oats. I went home and didnt look back.
I woke up yesterday morning with an even worse sore throat and knew a sick day was in order. The thought of answering the phone and taking to people made my throat somehow hurt more. I called in and then thought I would take one of my pain bills from my leg infection doctors visit and was able to fall asleep in no time. I woke up in time to watch Matlock, an episode of Saved by the Bell and the Nanny. I couldnt have asked for a better sick day. I did have to go to class at night though since I missed day, i dont think my professor would have forgave me for missing class again. The class was actually fun but I had to read one of my stories aloud...no fun. Of course I got a case of the Studdering Stanley's. One girl read her piece (quick note: the assignment was to write about a true account and then take that same story and change something in it to make it not true and then the one you read in class, the class had to discuss and pick if it was true or not) about her shift she was working at the 20's dance club (yeah...its a strip club) and knowing that she would find her future husband. Of course she was wasted and the guy came in and she fell in love with him. The best part was when she said he set that she choose to do was to the song "Like a Virgin" by Madonna. I thought of course this was false and no one would pick to read this story outloud...but nope...it was true! I had the worst time of not laughing outloud!! it was great!
