Just a bad day...

Today would possibly be one of the worst days of my life... High fever combined with cold and cough and weakness coupled with the departure of my parents and siblings after an entire month or so of being with me here. Couldn't get much worse could it? Well apparently it could. A good friend of mine called up and asked to go out to dinner. Desperate to get some fresh air and relief from mess food, I immediately agreed.
On our way to the restaurant we lost our way no less than two times and the journey which should have otherwise taken about 15 minutes, ended up taking us 40 minutes. The restaurant we were headed to was under renovation. They were serving food in a small dingy room with plastic tables with torn table cloths and wobbly chairs. Too exhausted and frustrated to find any other place, we sat and ordered. The food was allright and overall the meal could have been much worse.
Just as we exited the building, it started pouring. It was 9 p.m. and my hostel curfew was 8:30! We waited for a few minutes, hoping that the rain would stop or atleast reduce, but ofcourse it didn't. Since I didn't want to have to listen to my warden's screaming, I chose to head out in the rain. After all, how bad could it be?
Turns out, it can be really bad. The rain stung my face as we drove as slowly as possible to our college. By the time we reached we were completely drenched. Ever since I have been back, I have been sneezing. And just when I thought, it really cannot get much worse than this, I was informed by one of my classmates that we have to submit an assignment tomorrow that I had not even started on. So here I am, still a little wet, with a drippy nose, a pulsating headache, ever-increasing body temperature, writing on my blog, thinking about how I am actually going to start working on my assignment...Welcome to my life! :)
