Sick

Yesterday I woke up feeling like a piece of crap --swollen lymph nodes, coughing, stuffy nose, the whole shebang. I went back to sleep for half an hour before my class and dragged myself to campus. 


Then I had to dash off to this stupid museum visit at the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, because my prof just decided that it would be okay to move the start time of our class from 4 p.m. to 1:45. Because obviously no one would ever have anything that conflicts. I got there half an hour before it ended because I was in class and then it took me almost an hour to get there. The museum was pretty stupid itself (it's the French government's official take on immigration), and I got a pamphlet in ENGLISH summarizing everything at the end. Huge waste of time.


Outside the museum there was also a group of sans papiers, or illegal immigrants, staging a protest. They were quiet and not holding signs or yelling anything like that. It was weird, and mostly made me uncomfortable to be honest. Also it made the bathrooms smell terrible because they'd been using them to live for however man weeks.


When I got home, after I finished my work and dinner, I took some Tylenol  Cold Nighttime and fell right asleep. I feel more awake today, thank god (Anne and I have an exciting day planned for her birthday), but still shitty. Ugh.
