To my surprise on Sunday of February 15th I felt first symptoms of a flu that I probably caught from my roommates. Turned out that cold showers (that I take each morning) only helped against runny nose but not from notorious viruses. Headaches got worst on Monday and body temperature raised to fight the virus. I took medicine that evening so I could attend tomorrows classes but the medicine only relieved the symptoms for half a day and then came back even worse – my lungs were staring to get effected.
So yeah, that is my excuse for not attending student organised “Monday” trip on Wednesday. That’s actually a shame because I love Monday trips but this trip involved running and I wasn’t fit for it that day heavy breathing in a cold air wasn’t the best option. Despite this I needed to recover before the trip to Hovden with Jochen, Stephen, Roman and Petr. Only on Monday I felt reasonably well.
I shouldn’t have taken the symptom relieving medicine in the first place, because it only opened a way for illness to spread without resistance – I should have let my body fight it naturally and I would have got well in three days, now it took a whole long and boring week…
