Went to the clinic today, b/c the glands in my throat on the right size were monstrously swollen. The doctor of course has to do a "culture", which being an anthropologist doesn't sound too bad.*
However, the method was to take this long spiky thing and jam it as hard as possible into the back of my already extremely swollen and sore throat. Doctor of course does preface this act by saying "it might hurt a little" A little!? I honest to God nearly cried. Supposedly I will feel better in 24-48 hours, which means that tomorrow whilst I am teaching I will be absolutely miserable.**
Incidentally, in reference to the notes at the bottom, I have decided I use ( ) too much, so I am reverting to footnotes. Just a change of scenery :)
*yeah, I know it was a bad joke
**even more so than usual
