I don't think I'm germophobic, but I do have the tendency to freak out whenever someone around me is coughing. Have you guys ever sat next to some diseased person that seemed like they were about to hack up a lung or something? Yeah, that's how I felt today. I sat in lecture and thought that I was about to die because the person next to me was coughing up a storm. You could hear the phlegm come up the sides of his throat. I felt really uncomfortable and I had to keep squirming, moving towards the left, while subtly shielding my face with my sweatshirt. Even as I did that I still felt like his germs were penetrating through the pores of my sweatshirt and infecting me one cell at a time. Every time I sit next to someone like that I always feel like I contracted their disease. After class I'll start thinking "Oh my gosh, my throat hurts" or "Do I have a runny nose?" and I'll start feeling really sad because I hardly ever get sick. Only after I breathe fresh air do I finally realize that it was just me being paranoid. Am I the only one that does this?
Recently I read an article that stated: If you sleep too little your probability of death at a younger age is imminent; however, if you sleep too much this is also true. There's really no winning is there? The conclusion was: well, I guess I'm dying-- and then I closed the article.
