Okay, it is going through the student residences like a wild fire! 1st and 2nd years (that live in res) class attendance is down by 2/3d's!

Just yesterday, in a lecture hall complex, I happened upon a student who was in obvious distress. Had a co-worker call Campus Emergency Services to help deal with the medical emergency! I am not qualified nor allowed to deal with the kids directly, only offer comfort and assistance! Anyway, I digress from my point that I want to make! They, in fact, live in one of the residences affected by H1N1! They knew that there was something seriously wrong, chose to ignore it and attend class! Did not eat or drink anything for 24 hours, previous to the collapse!

Okay, getting the picture yet!

1) If you feel really sick and have not consumed any solids or liquids in 24 hours, seek medical attention!

2) Don't go to class/work/date/anything that does not involve going to the Doctors office!

3) Orange and Clear gatorade products are wonderful for getting your electrolytes back into balance! (I have done it myself) Google it if you do not believe me!(after you have sought medical attention)

Okay, I am a little concerned that this years flu season may be a real monster! The kids I am seeing on campus are trying to soldier through it...don't be a noob! If you are sick...accept it! Get everything you need for class/work/what the frack ever via e-mail! (Isn't technology wonderful!)

Kingboat

p.s. yes I am busy with work, I feel a little overwhelmed right now!
