colds

it's been cold (again) lately. winter's not officially here yet but temperatures have dropped to 0 deg C. add the wind chill factor (i.e. when there's strong winds, it's colder), it's down to below 0. ffffrrrreeeezzzzing!! it's kinda sad to have so many cold days in autumn 'coz it means that winter will even be colder! sobz! i'll be "escaping" the cold for a good 13 days, and you'll be hearing me complain about the heat & humidity in sg. =|

i also went thru the week with a cold. yes, yet another bout of flu. i didn't take off any days but went to sch faithfully. in my mind, i'm thinking, ok.. this week is a short week (we have hols on monday) and next week is an even shorter week (2.5 days, we're let off early on wed and return only the following mon) so taking a day off is "not worthed" it because it can be saved to be used on weeks that are long and holidays are nowhere to be seen. =P i'm feeling much better, taking self-meds (nyquil from vicks) each night. it reliefs symptoms of cold & flu (according to the box) and "knocks" me out with some drowsy drug -- which is good 'coz i get a good night's rest. =P

alright.. need to get back to marking my students' papers..
