Sniffles and the end-of-the-semester seem inevitably to go hand-in-hand.
I know, from conversations with other peoples, that I'm not the only person that falls ill during the last two weeks of the semester.
The system is designed in a way that the world starts to weigh heavily down in those last two weeks of the semester - between teaching, grading, writing papers, reading for classes, attending classes when you'd rather be writing those damned papers, we're doing fifty hours of work a day. Hells-bells, I'm not surprised that we're constantly fighting off flu-like symptoms at the end of every single semester.
My cure for today: Rasam / Chaaru.
