Post-Midterm Malady

It's about the time in the semester when, thanks to the unrelenting workload and the fluctuations in the Pittsburgh weather (65 degrees F one day, 35 degrees F the next), people start getting sick. I'm no exception: I've been fighting off a cold for about two days now, and I've finally lost. I woke up this morning with a raging sore throat. I think I finally got what a lot of my classmates had last week: the post-midterm malady.
