It's not what I think it is!

So I've been home sick yesterday and today. I thought I caught the flu, but luckily it turned out I didn't. I went to the doctor's today, and turns out I have a throat infection which made my body react due to the pain from the infection, and that caused a fever. In case you're wondering, yes, the throat infection hurts. Every time I swallow saliva or water, it feels like I'm swallowing broken glass. Not that I've ever swallowed broken glass, but I'm assuming that's what it feels like... but, I'm also probably overexaggerating, but it does hurt like a bitch.
