This is my schools 26th annual haunted house. Last year I helped scare people in one of the two haunted houses. However, this year I couldn’t even help with the children’s games. I am getting over a cold and have felt terrible all week. Today I have a really bad cough and think I am finally getting over the cold.
When I’m sick I usually don’t do good on my exams. However, this past week was midterm week and I didn’t do so hot. Therefore, I can’t risk getting more sick by being outside in the cold or around all the little kids in costumes.
Secondly, I also couldn’t stand it in my room! All I could hear is screaming. I was going to go insane ( The haunted house is in the quad and my room faces it so I hear everything). So instead I came down to the snack shack so I got to see the little kids and get away from the older kids screaming in the haunted house. I really want to go in the haunted house; however, I don’t want to get sick waiting in line… although in all seriousness I don’t want to go alone and no not because I’m scared. I don’t want to go alone because it is more fun with a friend. I also had to give up on going to parties this weekend so I can get better. I really wanted to dress up and go to Halloween parties, but I know it will not help my cold.
Now I realize I could do all of these things; however, I have a practical soon, (a practical is a final scanning exam) and if I don’t get a B or better I phase out of the program I am in. Since that is less than two weeks away I can’t get worse I need to get better to feel 100% for that exam. There is always next year or maybe even Halloween day that I feel better and can go do something fun.
