Ugh.

What started off yesterday morning as a bad mood and a sore throat has turned into a full blown sick-being thing. And I'm sure there's a more grammatically correct way of saying that, but I am too sleep-deprived to work it out. My night consisted of sleeping for an hour, waking up sweating and with sandpaper mouth, drinking water (which was excruciating; my throat is swollen and sore and awful) and throwing off the covers to go back to sleep, then waking up an hour later because I was cold and had sandpaper mouth again, drinking more painful water and adding blankets, then starting the process all over again. I woke up five times before 8:00 this morning, at which point I figured I may as well get up, despite still being exhausted. I have an alarmingly large and rather painful lump in the right side of my neck (swollen gland) which appeared somewhere between 4 and 6pm yesterday (it wasn't there when I left the house, it was huge by the time I got to Monash)

I'm thinking doctor? Yeah. I'm thinking doctor, so you know it must be bad. Except I can't get there today. Or tomorrow, probably.

Man, I need to learn to drive, stat. I am taking my Learner's test next Wednesday, though, so that's step one. Still, what is with having a doctor you can't PT to? That means relying on my mother to drive me, which means convincing her it is worth going to the doctor (easier said than done). And NOW, not after seeing how it goes for a couple of days and having my head fall off or my skin turn black or something.

I suspect it is just a flu or throat infection of some kind, but there's a small chance it could be something more serious like glandular fever, and that's not something you want to leave untreated, right? And even if it is something less sinister, I like sleeping and being able to swallow kthx.

*cries* It hurts.

One good thing, though: last night I took an aptitude test as the second round of 'screening' for ColesMyer christmas casual jobs, and despite the fact that I felt I performed horrendously, I apparently scored higher than 94% of people in the field o_O Hopefully that means an interview, right? *crosses fingers*
