Sick :(

This is the worst time to be sick ever !!!

Not only do I have 6 and 1/2 hours of IB exams tomorrow, but tomorrow is my birthday. Oh IB gods why now ?!?

However, on the bright side all I can think of is how my immune system is reacting to fight the bacteria which has invaded me. That's what the IB does to you ! Antibodies, macrophages, T-cells, B-cells, memory cells are all bouncing around in my body trying desperately to fight off the antigen/pathogen which is "not self and is causing an immune response. It is taking a while because it is a primary response so my body needs to learn what the antigen looks like before it can be more efficient at attacking. Once, I am free of this antigen, I will have memory cells to prevent me from getting ill with same pathogen, but truthfully they mutate so fast there are millions still out there.

I really do not like being ill, it is no fun at all. Sore throat, stuffy nose, coughing, sneezing, headaches, hot and cold flashes . . . ick ick. And the most annoying thing is how I have not been ill all year and now at the worst time ever, I get a full straight-on attack.

This is not fair. But do not even get me started about fairness because if I have learnt one thing in my life, it is that life is not fair. That one is learnt pretty fast from childhood and all that jazz.

Well it's Spanish time, my favourite . . . not ! But I have that IB exam tomorrow so I had better at least show an effort.

Adios !
