sick* and when you're sick

I've been sick this whole week and it doesn't end. I felt as if I was getting better each day but I finally realized I'm catching the common cold from my house mates. Its as if one person is sick the rest get sick due the the crazy mutation of the germs or something. It never ends period! Gosh I wish that we could just stop this mess I'm so tired of it. I keep missing classes for such a minor excuse, telling my professors that i'm going through fatigue or something.

I've always been curious as to what others do when it comes down to the flu. It's not enough to get an excuse from the infirmary but its not the best time when one person feels like going to class. I for one say screw it and don't go, only because I honestly do get lazy but also because I don't want to end up getting others sick from me.
