I've decided that I've been cursed. Yes Cursed.
For some odd reason everytime there is a break in school, like Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and, of course, Spring Break, I get sick.
The bigger and better the plans I have for a holiday, the worse I seem to get sick. This Spring Break is no different. But since I didn't have any big plans it's nothing like Fall Break was back in October.
Ah, Fall Break. One of my favorite times of the year, made even better by having an extended weekend in which I can escape for a few days to the family cabin by Bear Lake. Of course I went this year, but started feeling a bit under the weather while up there. Thinking it was just your regular run of the mill cold that I seem to get every holiday, I went to bed early thinking I would feel a bit better the next day.
Fast forward three days, one of missed classes. I drag myself out of the bed and up the hill to my car after doping up on whatever painkillers I could find in the cupboard at the cabin. I made it through the canyon and home.
I went to work the next day, but not classes, and arrived home with a horrible pain in my ear. I wanted to get a needle and shove it in there to relieve some of the pressure I felt. The next morning, I woke up to find blood dripping out of said ear (I did not shove the needle in it, even though I had really really wanted to). This called for a trip to the doctor. I am not one for doctors, but desperate times include blood coming out of your ear, so I went.
Did you know it was possible to have two infections in one ear at the same time? Me neither, and having been a person who made it 25 years without having an ear infection period, this was pretty freaky stuff. Needless to say, Fall Break has left a lasting impression on me (and some minor permanent hearing loss, that's what your body does when it's never had an ear infection then gets two at once).
I still don't like being cursed, but will happily take this little cold over an ear gushing blood.
Let's just hope the curse stops when I finish school.
