Down with the sickness

Oooo-wah-ah-ah-ah.

I am just over the hump today, but the entire student population seems to be in various degrees of sickness. My roommates were the first to go, followed by numerous classmates, and I eventually succumbed to the full brunt of the cold this weekend. A gallon of orange juice and many multi-vitamins later and I’m on the tail-end of the road to recovery, but not everyone shares my schedule. I just hope this fact doesn’t bring about a resurgence of my own affliction.

Also, I just received an email from Chancellor Birgeneau that begins with:

UC Berkeley, along with many other college campuses, is preparing for the potential of a flu pandemic.

Holy shit (Batman)! Except not. With all the scary talk and media coverage of an impending doomsday flu, I have no doubt that 99% of people will be fine because of the ongoing proactive measures being taken. Just make sure you keep rolling twenties when trying to avoid that last 1% ;-)
