stress-induced illness

I believe that stress affects general health. Right after the midterms, I started to feel sick. I thought I was just tired because of the sleep deprivation but I was still feeling sick after 8+ hours of sleep. So, I decided to stay home/Queesn area on Friday to take it easy. Plus, I had to run some errands before flying to Columbus on Saturday morning. I'm glad that I didn't go to school on Friday; I was feeling pretty crappy by the end of the day on Friday.

On Saturday early morning (6am to be precise), I left my apartment to LaGuardia airport. My apartment is only 2.5 miles from the airport but it takes about 1 hour to get there when I take public transportations. It's really messed up. Anyways, I flew out to Columbus to spend the weekend there. The flight was very smooth and comfortable.

Let's see...what did I do in Columbus? I slept, ate, slept, then ate again. and I indulged myself with lots of alcohol, sugar, and dairy products. Chocolate and cheese from the Netherlands, ice cream from Graeter's, wine from the Thousand Islands, sushi at Haiku...yum!!! Food always makes me happy :-) Overall, I had a relaxing weekend. After the weekend filled with laziness, it was pretty hard to come back to school this morning.
