I was sick for the most of spring semester with a bad cold that turned into a sinus infection plus an upper respiratory infection. I remember I had it for about three weeks, recovered for about two weeks, and then was sick for another three weeks. I hope this year is kinder to me. Stomach bug is going around here, plus a lot of the students are coughing and sniffling. Another thing I am looking forward to when I retire -- not being around sick students!
