it's all an act. a bad act in fact.

Being around small children all day is doing wonders for my immune system.

Excuse me for a moment while I have a talk with my body.

Be positive! If you think good thoughts about being healthy you will not be sick!!

But I'm so tired... my nose is stuffed up... my head feels strange...

Don't give in! There is no time to be sick right now! We have a million things to be doing! Practicum, go to classes, online classes, homework, real work, pay attention to friends... All things we need to be healthy for!

Who cares? Let's just lay in bed instead.

That... is a silly idea. Ridiculous. Preposterous.

Yeah, can't believe I brought it up.

Yes. Glad we're on the same page. So, back to going 100 miles per hour?

uhh... of *cough* course!

p.s. i'm not ignoring you, i just don't feel like talking to you right now.
