I made it through first period and decided it just wasn&#8217;t worth it. My head was incredibly stuffy, my nose incredibly runny, and my throat hurt incredibly badly. Then to top it all off, when 3rd period began, they had a fire drill. Needless to say, I was happy to go home after lunch and just lie like a useless blob on the couch. I have decided that I would much rather be healthy teaching classes with my kids than home sick. Blech!<\/p>\n<p>About 9:00 last night I had Jared give me a blessing, and decided that because I wasn&#8217;t feeling well still, I should take today off. I&#8217;m glad I did. I slept better last night, but this morning my cold had lessened slightly, but I had definitely developed a cough. I called the doctors office and the nurse wasn&#8217;t very helpful. Just told me to do the same things I had been doing: Dayquil\/Niquil, resting, lots of fluids, and such. No magic fix for my lame head\/chest cold!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually been kind of nice to relax. I didn&#8217;t realize how stressed out I&#8217;ve been about school until I was forced by my silly body to slow down. I&#8217;m counting on because I&#8217;ve chilled out yesterday and today, body will get better and let me go back to school on Monday. \ud83d\ude42  However, it also has just shown me that I am really enjoying my job and teaching, and I really care about how my students are doing (and not just in my classroom). I know I&#8217;m not that great of a teacher yet, but I hope that next year I&#8217;ll start off a lot more strongly for the students.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I need to get ready for the evening. Jared is kind of hosting\/helping out a guy who is interviewing for NI, and he has a fiancee so I am going to try to help answer any questions they may have. \ud83d\ude42 NI is taking us all out to County Line tonight for some delicious barbeque, and as I can finally taste a little again, I am excited!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So after my early morning post yesterday, I tried going to school.
