Well, I
may have jinxed myself in last week’s blog when I boasted about not being sick
yet this semester. Today, I came down with some virus—I have the chills
and have been running a fever of 102 on and off today. I have no energy
to do much of anything, I luckily took some ibuprofen, which has helped
motivate me to write this blog as well as do some other much needed
homework. I am hopeful that this virus will work its way out of me
quickly. Enough about me being sick though… let’s talk about my weekend!
As I have
mentioned before, I am on the Club Swim Team here at JMU and this weekend we
had our first meet! We got up early Saturday morning and rode buses up to the
University of Maryland. It only took us about 2 hours! At the meet I swam
in the 200 Medley Relay, 50 and 25 meter Butterfly and 50 freestyle.

While I myself did not swim any personal bests or win my heats, JMU as a whole
won the meet! While at the meet I was able to see and visit with one of
my good friends from high school, Cara, who swims on the club team for Mary
Washington University. I also was able to see my “Shark” or “Big,” Erin,
who graduated last year from JMU. She lives in Maryland and was home on
Fall Break from grad school and was able to stop by and see everyone, which was
awesome! Overall, the meet went great! It was over by around 4 and we left
shortly after and arrived back at JMU around 7, due to some traffic we hit in
Northern, VA. When I got home, I was wiped out after my big day so I did
a little homework and then put in a movie and called it a night! Then, on
Sunday I was able to sleep in and in the afternoon I attended a SafeRides
retreat where we played games and got to know each other better. While my
weekend was busy, I was able to still get homework done and have fun all at the
same time!

Now back
to me being sick… One thought that occurred to me today, as I lay in bed ill
was how and where I might have contracted this virus? At the swim meet?
At the SafeRides retreat? In class Thursday or Friday? From one of my
roommates? On the bus? The possibilities are endless. At this point
it does not matter…I am sick. With that being said, though, I am going to
do everything in my power to not let anyone else around me get sick by staying
in my room as much as possible and washing my hands thoroughly throughout the
day.
