Perks of Having Chickenpox

Actually, "Perks of Having Chickepox in the Middle of a Crazy School Week" would be a more suitable title for this post. Because when you get a chickenpox, you don't go to school for the whole week and the only thing you should be complaining about is your uncomfortable itchy body. But when you get a chickenpox...in the middle of a crazy school week when there are exams everyday and many more works to be done...there's much more to worry about than just your itchy body.

What I'm trying to do here is to see the bright side of a tragedy. Because there's always something positive you can get from even the worst scenario you could ever think of, and being able to find the bright side in every bad thing that happened in your life can make you a much thankful and happier person! It is honestly a bit hard for me to find the bright side of my current situation now, but let's see!

My youngest brother had chickenpox about two, three weeks ago. Just last week...it's me and my other little brother who got infected. The doctor said we were already infected by the virus back then when my youngest brother started to have the red dots on his body, but we were still going trough this incubation period, so for a week, we still looked like we have a great healthy body until last week I found these 3 little red circles on my belly. Days past and it was not only getting itchier day by day, it also started to show up not only on my belly but all over my body!!! I think the first 4 days were the craziest because that's when your body got itchy the most! After that, they're starting to get dry and turn chocolate, and the itchiness kind of fade away eventually.

When I first noticed that I had chickenpox, I got kind of excited because I was not ready for the week ahead of me! I haven't done most of the assignments, haven't studied for most of the tests. So I was thinking that if I got sick, I'd have enough time to study and do my work at home so when I start school again, I would already be well prepared.

BUT THE REALITY SAYS OTHERWISE. It's already Friday now. And guess what? For the sake of the procrastinator gods...I haven't do any work nor study for any test while I'm stuck at home. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LIKE I'M VERY SCREWED GUYS. SIX WASTED DAYS. VERY SCREWED. So in my very current position now, it's not very easy to find a perk, you know.

BUT (again), LET'S GIVE IT A TRY.

One. Last week was a massive stress as I've told you in my previous post. By massive stress I mean.....massive stress. With this chickenpox, I can have a week off! A whole week to rest my brain and my soul, to cool down a bit, and that's huge.

Two. Thankfully I got sick on the exact week as when Tiffany, my classmate, had a school duty to go to IUYD. That means I'll have a partner to go through all the make up tests and all!

Three. It's kind of an entertainment week for me! I watch endless tv and endless youtube videos and a very kind friend of mine (hi nelle!) gave me the Game of Thrones season 5 DVD so there's a lot to enjoy! 

Four. Even when I've already wasted like 6 days procrastinating, but at least I'm filling it with happiness, and I still have 2 more days to do my works! 2 days is a lot of time because I don't have to waste my time on the way to and from school, don't have to waste my time doing some unimportant stuff at school, so if I start to work well and stop procrastinating from now, I can make up those 6 days just in 2 days time! 

See? I've managed to find 4 perks of having a chickenpox in the middle of a crazy school week so far. I'm pretty sure I could have found more, but I need to cut it off because I need to eat and take my medicine now. And now it is proven that there will always be a bright side from every possible tragedy! Bye now!
