Quite a horrible irony that on the last day of school I woke up with a woolen head, and a scratchy throat. I have felt, all week, that I've been fending off illness. A few well timed naps have helped, I feel, to limit the contagion to a mere scratchy wooziness. Could have been a lot worse.
The stress of having to mark hundreds of papers (several times this week into the wee hours of the morning) has definitely had an impact. Lack of sleep and missing a few breakfasts this week, plus being surrounded by plenty of sniffly people, that's how you give a bug a launching pad. Another major factor was the spin class I did. Remember I walked home wet with sweat on a cold night. In the actual session I felt extremely tired, but forced myself to endure the whole 40 minutes.
I'm going to try to eat plenty of fresh oranges (for Vitamin C), drink water, sleep and rest, and get something from a pharmacy. This non-teaching period (3 weeks) is meant to be a heavy training period, so I have to be healthy as soon as I can be.
Going to try to do all remaining schoolwork in the first week and then maybe head out to the Underberg for some R&R (horseriding and such) in the 2nd or 3rd week.
