Well, on what was supposed to be my first day of tutoring on Tuesday, September 23, 2009, I was so sick I was unable to move out of my bed. I had previously had a cough about a week before, and on Monday, I barely made it to class and then finally, I made my way to health services. Apparently, they have no idea exactly what illness I have, I could have the flu, walking pneumonia, or just a plain old cold. Whatever it was, the doctor informed that I was not allowed to attend class for 24 hours after having a fever, and I had been running a fever all day. I planned on going to tutoring, however, and when I woke up Tuesday morning and found out I was aching so bad I could barely move AND I had a hundred degree fever, I decided it was time to email our teacher, Cary, and my AVID teacher that I would be unable to make it.
I was so disappointed that I missed my first day of tutoring. Not only did I desperately want to be there, I also still have all the fears and nerves that all my peers in the teaching fellows program have gotten rid of. I am practically terrified of riding the bus, I THINK I know what bus to take, but I have no idea what time to get there or how long the actual ride will take. And, what is worse is I know of a guy who goes to the same middle school, Phillips Middle school, as I do and at the same time, and I have tried multiple times to get in touch with him, and he ignores me every time! Ugh, the frustration is killing me!

Being sick is the worst thing ever. You miss class, you have to make up work, and you miss out on activities, such as your first day of tutoring. I had the Swine flu all last week and it was just awful. I missed a week of class and had to catch up on everything. I sense your frustration and things will get better!!! :D
