Flu shot

This past Saturday I took an H1N1 flu vaccine shot at my school, which had been offering them for free. Two days later I got sick.

The symptoms have been high fever, with some mild coughing. I'm starting to feel better now, but I don't know if my illness was something I contracted or perhaps just side effects from the vaccine. Lately people around me seem to have been getting the cold, with my roommate even complaining of a sore throat.

It hasn't been the best week so far, and I expect to be screwed over as the days continue. Next week I have mid-term exams. Perhaps out of cruelty or convenience, the school has decided to hold all six of my tests during that week. I have yet to study for them, and don't really plan to, since I have articles to write. (So much for being a good student.)
