A plague o’ all our classes!
Yeah, so everyone at New Trier has pertussis. It’s gotten to the point where the Health Services office (Newtrierese for “school nurse”) sent a letter to all the teachers insisting that everyone who coughs more than three times be taken out of class to get evaluated by the nurse. If this seems totally ridiculous, it isn’t really…yesterday (the day before this edict was announced), almost 100 people were sent home, and a few are already confirmed positive.
Everything at New Trier that involves other people coming to our school has been postponed or cancelled. This is on the say-so of some governmental health office. In the case of Scobol Solo, this means that Solo is taking place at Stevenson this year. Boo hoo.

Yeah, I just got the shot. It’s actually the TDaP (Tetanus, Dyptheria, and Pertussis, apparently the good old “DTP” shot isn’t good enough anymore), which means my arm will get sore (last time I got a tetanus shot my upper arm/armpit was unbelievably sore for a few days). It’s already started, I can feel it. Might be psycho-sematic though.
