Update

So almost four months of work has passed and I managed to stay alive.

It's harder than I thought. To stay alive, I mean.

Seems life passes from weekend to weekend and then the weekend is gone, as well. But today was my first free weekend since three weeks time. Three weeks ago I was sick (terribly), then my studies came and then I had a field trip to Germany. No wonder for the passing week I just fainted instead of going to sleep.

But one step at a time. The flu was serious. I don't remember being so ill for a long time. I was really scared for myself, that I could not control how I felt. And I felt horrible. The whole first and second day I slept and slept. Just woke up for 5 minutes and slept again. I couldn't even sit straight for more than a few minutes, the fever breaking me down immediately. The worst were the headaches from the fever, which could be only described as "splitting". Simply nightmare. And then I kind of felt better and went to work on the fourth day. But I still felt weak, so weak I couldn't climb the stairs without getting breathless. Or I couldn't stand for longer than a minute and had to sit down frequently. It was really bad for the rest of the week and only after a week did I finally feel "normal". And to be honest, I still feel something in my throat, just waiting for opportunity to get out.

Well. But Christmas holidays are ahead (1.5 weeks) and I hope to get some decent sleep and finally be able to reset my brain. Indulge in reading and reading and reading. The pile of books I have and want to read is only growing.

So count down begins.
