haha no i'm not sick nor do i have any desire to get sick. my sister is sick though so i've been sprayng antibiotic spray all over the room. haha
there were rumors spreading around that stated that if 10% of the student body was sick, the university would cancel classes (that's apparently how the local school district work and according to my microbiology major friends, the definition of an epidemic). alas, the president has shot that rumor done.
most of the people sick are those involved in sorority recruitment which is a huge event at my university. over a thousand girls try out for a sorority and since they're close together, germs are bound to spread. add that and their going to classes, going out, etc. whatever they have is going to spread like crazy. it doesn't help that the weather isn't really conducive aka freezing and that being in closed room with little or no air circulation help further this problem but that's enough science talk for the day.
