It has been proven that what you hate makes you less healthy. Thus I have decided to like school and hate the institution. This allows me to hate the action of school but not hate the means it goes to acquire. If I consider the ends far better than the means then I have no problem with schooling. Yet today comes and I'm really sick. This could have nothing to do with school but there is also the alternative possibility. This week was particularly stressful because I have two tests in a row. Obviously this is unfortunate, the question is: did this lead to my sickness? If it did I have not decided that the ends justify the mean for these two tests, the best thing might be to reschedule but the act of rescheduling while being sick is by no way good. If I am at 50% or less I might have to do that, but at about 70% I feel that I can at least survive what the tests entail and hopefully salvage a decent grade.
In other news, since you already know I have AS and take things literally, riddle me this. "Come back if it gets worse." In all forms of English that means come back if it does not get better or stay the same. The only reason I know not to do this is because of an incident last year and the fact that I called my mom for clarification this time. The last incident involved me being put on an operation table, missing three weeks of school, and feeling more like crap than I do now. I had a cough and only when I could hardly move because of a pain in my side did I go back. The cough did not improve, neither did it get worse until the pain. For many people like me, we would do exactly what I did. After all worse doesn't equal the same. Medicine is supposed to fix the condition, the medicine isn't working if it doesn't make you better but if a doctor doesn't say come back if you don't get better, then you have no need to go back until his statement is ratified. Now I know that getting worse covers not getting better but staying the same as well.
