Ah, it appears I was mistaken.  I do not have the plague.  I only have allergies cleverly disguised as the plague.  When I think of allergies I think of runny nose, watery or itchy eyes, and lots of sneezing.

I have a nose that is just barely running, no watery or itchy eyes, and no sneezing whatsoever.  I do have a hell of a lot of coughing, a really sore throat, swollen tosils, and liquid behind my right ear.

Apparently, these are also signs of allergies.  Who knew?  *shrug*

So yeah, I'm not dead.  But I don't feel good and breathing is still somewhat of a chore.  So I'm not going back to school today.

Ciao, homies.
