whogeek | Want to punch something.

I've been sick all week, and this week is homecoming week. Which means, the marching band has been working really hard at practices, but because I basically can't breathe, I couldn't play or march. Fuck. So we had a performance tonight. Kinda informal, no uniforms or anything, but a performance. I couldn't play. Because I currently can't breathe right. And I talked to the band director earlier tonight, and basically, I'm at the point where I'm in danger of losing my place in the band. Because I missed the first game, and I might miss tomorrows game, and if I miss one more..... well, it sucks. And I want to scream and rage and punch things and cry and generally go batshit, but I can't because I have no voice and my life sucks. Someone tell me I'm being irrational and whiny, because I need someone to knock some sense into me. Real bad.

I think you're entitled to feel a little stressed, actually. And the band director does realize that you're not intentionally getting plague to miss out on games and you actually like being in the band, correct?

Here's some sense for you: have you been to the doctor for this? Even if it might be just a little bug, the fact that it's interfering with your life so badly suggests it might be a good time to get a doctor's excuse. And maybe hit the gym during a low-traffic time and beat the crap out of some bags.
