Well, today I started college, and it was a very nerve-wracking day for more than one reason! It all started yesterday when a friend informed me that she and her boyfriend had both had stomach bugs. Great. Then my mum came home and told me there is a diarrhoea bug going round in work. Double great! I spent the night worrying about college AND all these bugs flying around, and hardly slept. Today was the big day, and it was going okay until a boy in class announced he was feeling very sick. I spent the rest of the day on edge just in case...and then when we went to the computer lab, I heard someone throwing up outside! Argh! I got home from school andwent to visit myneighbour.I have to stay over her house tonight while her mum is away. She tells me that she thinks she has a stomach bug'cos she'sbeen ill today...


I seriously feel like crying! I really don't want to stay over there tonight.My first day by itself is scary enough. Why do all these things come along together? Does this happen to anyone else? Everything goes fine for a while and then five different incidents come up at once? I'm considering looking for a counsellor because I can't go on with this phobia.
