Still sick.....

In this week’s blog I would just like to talk about the weather so far and how it relates to my well being. It has been really cold outside lately and I have been worried about my well being. I have been sick for the past week and I seem to have gotten a little better but I have not yet completely recovered. I dress as warm as possible but I don’t think that anyone can take that harsh weather for a long period of time. I have lived in Illinois since the day I was born I am also a product of the windy city but it is very different here. When you come from somewhere where you really never had to walk any farther than from where the car was parked; normally that’s pretty close, then you will understand my pain and struggle with this weather. Going outside of my dorm room having to take a no more than 15 minute walk in 15 degree weather is not what I bargained for. I really like it here at ISU but it seems like everywhere you want to go it is a pain getting there especially in the cold. Even if I did bring a car I would still have to walk because they make Students Park so far. I don’t know why when we pay so much just for a parking permit. I guess that’s just one of the downsides of being here. This week I am still a little sick and it is really not good for me to be walking around in the blissful cold but it is also not good for me to miss class so I have just come to the conclusion that I will be sick for a long time.
