The Joys of Being Sick

Turns out all the rumors about getting sick all the time as a first year teacher are true. I'm sick. I don't have the swine and I definitely don't have a voice. For some reason, this makes it difficult to teach. At first, I felt fine (except for in the mornings) but now my throat is starting to ache and I have a cough (but no fever). I'm worried about falling behind with my classes. There is only so much book work I can think of. I feel bad for my students and all the busy work I'm leaving them...hopefully they are learning the stuff. I just wish this could've waited til next week...

Oh well. I guess I am just blessed that I didn't catch the swine from my students and instead just have no voice!

As a (future) speech therapist I feel obligated to tell you to not stress your voice! You'll get vocal nodules and that wouldn't be good! Just let it get better! Have the kids teach each other or something. :) Feel better! I love you! We need to see each other after Thanksgiving! It has been way too long! Can you believe that Kendra is getting back so soon?!? Crazy!
