The Pros and Cons of Being Sick. . .

So, I have a cold or something right now, I don't know what it is. . .

Pros
1) You don't have to do house work.
2) You get to spend all day in your bedroom watching Buzzfeed Violet, Minecraft, and collabs of Thomas Sanders and Brizzy Voices. (I ship Tizzy so much)
3) You get to be lazy.
4) You can eat that canister of chocolate frosting you've been hiding in your closet. (Is that just me?)
5) You get to cuddle a stuffed animal without being judged.
6) You get to eat ice cream and popsicles.
7) Everyone leaves you alone for most of the day.

Cons
1) You have to take a bunch if medicine. (My mom's a doctor, and she got me fever pills, sinus pills, cough pills, flu prevention pills, and some other junk.)
2) Your not even hungry and your parents make you eat more than what you would if you were starving, for some reason.
3) It's the freaking weekend. (Not complaining, because I get to watch YouTube and read fanfiction all day, but it's the middle of Flu season and Tennessee's right in the middle of it, so if 50% of students in the county are out, for whatever reason, school get's canceled.)
4) You either, cough or sneeze every 30 seconds, your throat or head hurts, you throw up, you can't breath trough one nostril, or just feel all around terrible, depending on what you have.

There are more pros, but I would rather be sick on a holiday, because I actually like school, and if you miss one day of GTT, it's like missing 3 days of another class. In which you had a test. And 5 daily grades. And had a presentation due. And had another project assigned. And did something really fun that no teacher will ever do again and everyone will be talking about forever and it was for a grade and you can't make it up so you now have a zero because the teacher didn't think that through.

(That last one actually happened to my friend, Dawson. We were learning about character development in ELA, so the teacher had us draw characters with a name, age, profession, and hometown out of a cup, then put us in groups of three. We had to write and perform a skit that involved all three characters, and it was great. Dawson has, like the second-worst immune system in the whole school. (Once, Dawson got the Stomach bug four times over the course of two months; I'm not even sure how that is medically possible.) Anyways, he missed every day we worked on the skit, and you obviously can't make up that kind of assignment, so he has a zero for a test grade in ELA.)

Anyway, being sick on a school day sucks, being sick on the weekend, not so bad.

I've seen how some people have a name for their readers, and I think that's cool, so I'm gonna call my readers the Nargle Family now! By Nargles!
