The Reason Why I Didn't Ski On A Ski Trip

Hi everybody! I've been sick, and let me tell you it sucked. I'll start at the beginning.


It started with last Friday. I went to school feeling a bit crappy, attributing it to the weather and shrugging it off. As the day went on, I began to feel worse and worse. By the end of the night (that I spent alone with Lindsay Lohan's "Freaky Friday" and a bowl of popcorn) I had a mild fever.

When I woke up the next morning, I knew that I had to go to school because it was the last day of filming. That day we were filming the last scene (the food fight scene). So, I braved the filming and managed through the day. (It really sucked.) When my mom came home, she saw that I had an actual fever and made me stay home from church.

The next day was the day that I was supposed to leave for the ski trip. I decided to go, seeing as I felt well enough. Big. Mistake.

So we got to Naeba and went snowshoeing. (Tip: Don't go snowshoeing.) By dinner time I was overheating and ready to go to bed. It was 6:30 pm. I asked the supervising teacher if I could go to bed early because I was tired. She made me go to the nurse. It turned out that I had a high fever of 102.8 degrees F. I stayed in the sick room that night alone and the next morning, with a fever of 103.1, I went home on the Shinkansen.

And that, my friends, is the story of how I did absolutely no skiing during the school ski trip. Stay healthy, guys.

Cheers, DFTBA, and Good Night.
