Worry Part Four

[rapturerocks]

I hate SV* season, I'm sure you'll all agree. So it's been about a week
since I found out about this virus with Jordan. Jordan the day after
his sickness has been back to his old self and hanging out with a lot
of people (Good for him, bad for me). So far, no one else I know has
gotten ill, not even Veena who took care of Jordan WHILE he was sick. I
guess I'm starting to feel a little more relaxed, but I'm just worried
for that day when one of my neighbors or, heaven forbid, my room mate
becomes ill and I am directly exposed to it!



Anyway, I wanna know from people who currently are in dormitory
situations or who have been, have you survived through those times when
people are getting ill, and also do you have any tips?

my suitemate in college a few years ago was really ill all day.
suitemate= not roommate, just share a bathroom..
i remember waking up in the middle of the night and hearing her v*,
and me trying to sleep with my fingers in my ears and my pillow over my face..i didnt even KNOW about emets then, nor did it really seem to be a problem at the time.. however now that i look back!...

anyways.. i remember being very hestitant to take a shower in the morning...
i remember trying to not breathe very much and i tried to hold my ears in the shower too in case she came in!... later on in th day when i figured she had stopped v*'ing, i got up the courage to use the bathroom ...
and it was fine.
i just washed my hands well...
and steered clear of HER...
and i never caught anything.
