My suitemate Alexis was sent home on Tuesday because the Quinnipiac Health Center thought she had swine flu.
A few of us were hanging out in the common room in our suite and she walked in with a ridiculous face mask, which somewhat resembled a duck beak. She stated that the nurses at health services told her that she had swine flu-llike symptoms and that because she lived within 200 miles of the school, she would have to be sent home to rest and see a doctor. Her direct roommate, Nicolina, and I proceeded to Lysol the shit out her room and the entire suite in an attempt to disinfect the air and surfaces around us.
So...less than 24 hours later, she texted us to let us know, that she, in fact, did NOT have swine flu, but that she had bronchitis, was dehydrated, and that she was anemic.
Later, that same day that Alexis went home, my best friend Max informed me that he too, was feeling ill. He went to the Health Center yesterday and came back unscathed and they informed him that he was just dehydrated. So, I bought him some gatorade and he went on living his life.
My suitemate, however, will not be returning to Connecticut until Sunday. Right now, I'm pretty sure she is high on cough syrup, which she told me has codine in it. Lovely.
