LOL, welp, I'm sick, and I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow.
I have bronchitis.

This thing started out as allergies- sneezing, scratchy throat, runny nose. I think it's a product of my smoking again. Anyway, I think some of the mucus ran down into my lungs and infected them with some kind of bacteria.

So I took my temperature this morning with my home thermometer and it said that I had a temperature of 101.5. So I went to the doctor, and to my surprise the nurse told me it was really 103.4. That's odd because I'm not even hallucinating, and I usually do when it's over 101. The doctor gave me Biaxin, which I've taken before- a huge horse pill that ties one's stomach in knots. But it's very effective.

And on top of all that, I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow. I've been preparing for this test for months. They only administer it four times per year.

Hopefully the Biaxin will work as quickly as it did last time. I have to get this fever down, or there's no way my brain's going to work well enough to get the extremely high score that I'm going to need to make up for my somewhat low undergrad GPA. I'm having enough trouble with the logic games, as it is.

So wish me luck!

3. I took Biaxin when I had pnuemonia.
It made everything I ate taste like I had a mouth full of pennies. Get lots of rest today and drink lots of water. I know it's moot to say so, but try not to stress. Stress will only aggravate it.

5. First of all, good luck
Second, it may not be all bad news.

I had a severe sinus infection when I took the GREs. Taking Tylenol 3. Did the day of test, even. I did really well. I'm the type that get's nervous and between low energy and the drugs, I most certainly felt less anxious that day. hence, more focused. I may have worked a tad slower, but anxiety has a way of thwarting output as well.

Maybe this signals good things for you too!
