H1N1

H1N1..Influenza virus...also known as the common flu?
Has it ever struck you "What if I got H1N1?"
Well, with the current outbreak in my University I have been thinking about that question for a long time. My friend's boyfriend got it and I was extremely worried, almost to the point where I didn't even want to bump into my friend. However I did bump into her after going to a club for Halloween but our exchange only lasted for 1 minute. After a few days I did end up with a flu which started off with mild chills then a sweat here and there. Later I was suffering from a common cold symptom (runny nose and alternatively a stuffy one). I was thinking...man this sucks as I studied for my Sports Injury midterm which is currently my worst course right now (around an 80, my hopes are 90s).
So I checked in with the campus health and apparently I had...
you guessed it...
h1n1.
I was very shocked at the moment because I always thought H1N1 had to be accompanied by a cough but she said it was very "probable" I had it because I described to her what seemed to be a fever (from the chills and sweats + muscle aches) but she can't say 100% for sure. I didn't know if she was just saying it to save her ass incase I sued her later but I just took the answer and cancelled all my volunteering.
I came home to tell my housemates just so they know (I was in my recovering stage right now). They weren't that surprised or scared because I had already improved a lot. However on that night I had lots of people msg me and ask me if I was ok and sounded reluctant to see me. I was puzzled, "Who told them I had H1N1?". My first thought would be one of my more mouthy roommates, and of course I questioned her but she said it wasn't her. Today she came up to me though and apologized because apparently she did tell someone on the phone but one of her firends overheard and spread it to everyone in the apartment. You must know that this guy friend of her's who had spread the message is basically not my friend therefore I don't know his intention but I was not that happy. I don't get why he needs to spread something like this when I have basically recovered? Does he want people to avoid me, because he did somehow initiate that kind of response (though I won't blame those who were afraid).
Anyhow, I'm already 21, and that guy friend of her's is 22. I don't know what kind of common sense he holds or maturity level he is at but spreading news about someone you barely know about isn't that nice. Sigh....stupidity exists even when you are so far into university...sad
Well, here's a new song by a Chinese artist that I admire very much:
謝安�� - 兩生關

It is the opening song to a recent HK Drama (a historical one). I like all her songs and as many of you know I really suck at writing descriptions for songs, all I can say is her songs are very slow and sound similar haha. However they are different from the average Chinese songs, in that the lyrics have a deeper meaning and are actually worth listening to (not like Twins =.=")
