So I know I said this blog was supposed to be a place where I could put up my latest writing, but it is turning into more of a rant space instead. Oh well, when I have something decent that I have written for one of my stories I'll get it up here.
By the way, sorry it has been so long since my last update, between the internet being down and my being sick on and off for the past week, I haven't been able to post.
So I actually have another question to pose this week, is it really a good idea for me to keep going to classes and work when I don't really feel that great? For the comfort of anyone who has come in contact with me, I am not contagious, that I know, so no worries. But besides the risk of getting others sick, is it really a good idea to be doing anything other than resting when you don't feel well?
In highschool, most of my teachers told us to stay home if we didn't feel well, because we would not be able to concentrate, and we'd just end up making ourselves even more sick. Hence to say, very few people actually listened, and of course, the teachers were always right.
Along with not already feeling well, we stressed ourselves out because our brains were working slower, and we were holding debates in our heads about what we might miss if we actually went home, and then stressing out more about what we would miss if we stayed home the next day.
By my junior year, I had figured out that if I missed one day of school, there would be time to make up the work, because as long as you asked, the teachers would be more than happy to fill you in on yesterday's topic.
Unfortunately, now that I am in a fairly new environment, I am relearning when it is time to just stay in bed rather than go to class. I'm starting to draw the line at seriously feeling like I am about to throw up, which I experienced more than once last week and over the weekend. But there are still a few classes that I am taking right now that I would drag myself to if I was dying, which I'm not sure is the best policy.
I'm hoping that this sick feeling will leave when the weather decided to finally settle down. Either that or when the stress from this past weekend fades away, which it is taking its sweet time doing.
Anyway, I really hate feeling like this, and I wish it would just go away, but I'll have to deal with it till it does. If anyone has any opinions on how to take care of an annoying stomach ache, or on whether or not I should even be moving around among everyone else, please let me know.

In theory, it would be great if we could always stay home rest every time we're sick. Unfortunately, sometimes that brings on more stress than if we'd just hauled our behinds into class or work or what have you.
When deciding whether or not to stay home from work, I always look at how busy I am. If the projects aren't time-sensitive, I take the day off and rest. If they are, I go in for at least part of the day, because in those instances, some work is better than none!
