A vision that required\u00a0setting goals for myself. Goals that stretched from my grades and sleep schedule\u00a0to\u00a0getting back into the habit of doing yoga and making time to develop a relationship.\u00a0Week after week, I took great care to exercise balance in my routine. Study, have fun, eat, sleep, work,\u00a0and relax. It was all about taking care of myself. I was setting out to avoid the toxic effects of stress. A personal project, you could say.<\/p>\n<p>This routine held up pretty nicely until last week&#8230; when I suddenly lost all of my energy. For a couple of days, I had a severe headache, an inability to concentrate, and essentially, I felt fatigued throughout the entire day. First I thought I had a cold, then maybe the flu as my symptoms got worse. Once I got a sore throat and completely lost my voice, I thought maybe I had strep.<\/p>\n<p>After a visit to the doctor, my rapid strep test came back negative. Great. They decided to do a nasal flu test on me &#8211; which was very&#8230; strange. They basically rub your brain with a Q-tip.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19449\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19449 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=480,height=360,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg 480w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=213,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg 284w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/hqdefault-1.jpg 407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rocky Getting Tested for Flu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>15 minutes later, I was informed that it, too, was negative. When you go through these uncomfortable medical tests, I think part of you hopes one\u00a0will\u00a0come back positive just so you have an answer and can feel that\u00a0having your brain rubbed wasn&#8217;t done just\u00a0for the fun of it.<\/p>\n<p>Next up was blood work done at the lab to check if I have infectious mononucleosis. I won&#8217;t get those results until next week but the doctor is pretty sure it will be positive. I&#8217;m pretty sure it will be, as well. The symptoms are all too closely matched.<\/p>\n<p>Mono &#8211; or whatever it is that I have &#8211; has really caused a rough patch at the end of what has otherwise been a phenomenal semester. With my performance so far, I think I have an A in every single one of my classes and I&#8217;d really hate to see that slip away because an infection got in the way of the grades I worked for. With my current state, I know studying will be a great challenge. I keep falling asleep and my vision blurs over if I look at anything for too long. I&#8217;m hoping I recover in time to still prepare at least a little bit. Even more importantly, I hope I&#8217;ll be well enough to take my exams &#8211; they start as soon as Tuesday!<\/p>\n<p>My new medicine seems to be helping. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px; border-top-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-right-radius: 2px; border-bottom-left-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;
