So, I got the flu. And, I really tried to keep going. I really did.

And then I got a secondary infection.

And I learned that sometimes you aren’t supposed to keep going. And it doesn’t matter if you’re missing work; and it doesn’t matter if your homework isn’t getting done; and it doesn’t matter what the policy says. Because your body can only do so much.

And, maybe it’s okay if I get a B.

Maybe.

It doesn’t really feel okay right now.
