stupid winter...

well it happened. my first cold of the season. back in October i had a throat infection, but that doesn`t count since 1) it wasn`t a cold, and 2) it only made me cough and lose my voice for two days (much to Ulala`s joy). but this is a Cold. just a regular, run-of-the-mill, make-you-feel-miserable-but-not-miserable-enough-to-stay-home Cold. but Ian, you say, you`ll infect all your students if you go into work. GOOD! they`re the bastards who gave it to me!! i cannot even count the number of times a student has sat down in my lesson room and when i ask "How are you?" they look at me and say "Not so good. I am catch a cold." or some variation thereof. and then i think "Great! now i have to spend forty minutes in this tiny liuttle cubicle, breathing in the same diseased air as you!" a few times students have even said that they took the day off from work because they were sick BUT THEY CAME TO THEIR ENGLISH LESSON!!! so yeah, i`m going into work. today, tomorrow and even saturday. HA! *sniffle*
