It isn't the flu, it's acute bronchitis. *fuck* I feel terrible and I need to sleep. But I can't, because I have to spend the next 48 hours awake, either revising like I've never revised before, or sitting the remaining two exams.

Something always goes wrong between me and exams. Always! I'm particularly sad about it this time, as well, because if I'd not been ill, I could easily have passed these and only had one resit in June. Now my entire spring is going to be consumed with revision, because I reckon me passing either of the remaining two exams in my present infected, feverish state is pretty slim. How can I possibly sit here for another 12 hours staring at a binder full of finance notes and actually take enough in and retain enough of what I manage to take in to excel tomorrow?!? I feel like death! Even Pepsi MAX and reduced-fat, garlic-buttered baguettes couldn't make me feel better right now.

Also, this completely ruins the rest of my week, which after the completion of the exams, was going to be spectacular. Spectacular!! But now I'm corporeally prohibited from doing anything fun until I'm better. Which won't be in time for an epic Wednesday and Thursday. All I'm allowed to do is "rest" and feel like shite until I start normal work (and loads of extra-curricular revision) on Monday. I am going to miss two of the year's biggest piss-ups (and potentially a boy that I like) because of this viral nastiness.

And what compensation will I receive in return?

The opportunity to sit the exams AGAIN in June. Fucking awesome. :-/
