growing old - but haven't grown up

Why, oh why does it only happen right before exams. . .once again I've gotten sick right before we begin two weeks of intense exams. I had to go to bed early last night due to a high fever & feeling "icky" - which, by the way, is a perfect way to describe how I felt. I put 3 blankets on my bed and still felt as if I were freezing. . .I tried to call my mom, but she didn't answer - so I finally feel asleep and slept for 13 hours.

Today is somewhat better, except that I'm having to study all the time. I laid down for an hour and a half, but was awoken by someone ringing my doorbell - it was my dear sweet friend/neighbor Jamie - my mother had tried to call me four times and couldn't get me, so she had called her to come and check on me. I called my mother to tell her she was a little psycho, and at the end of our conversation, my mom asked me "Do you need me to come up and take care of you?" I said "no mom, I'll survive. . .I AM 25 years old." But, in truth, I really wanted her to come. So 25 years old or not - I still "want my mommy."

P.S. Its about 9PM & I was afriad that my temperature was spiking again, so before I took my acetominophen (which blocks COX-1 and COX-2) I decided to take my temp - the thermometer said: 95.5 F. . .dang! What am I supposed to do now?
