1 I'm surprised there isn't a mandatory "don't come if sick", as many colleges/schools/work seem to be setting up this year.

Never the less, I hope you feel better soon.

The administration asked the faculty to be "understanding" towards those with the flu, and not hold them accountable for absence.

Today I skipped one class and went to the other. I really should have flip-flopped which class I went to. But I had the energy to take notes in a history lesson, but didn't think I'd survive an hour and a half of German. Turns out the German class went over some really important grammer issues, while the history class lecture was mostly stuff I already knew.

But I think my original decision was a good one: while I'm going to regret not getting the grammar lesson, I wouldn't have made it all the way through class anyway.

3 Sorry you're sick. I recommend a leprosy bell. Not because it'd help, just because it's be amusing ;-)

Do you know anyone in the German class who'd lend you their notes? 

4 Two of my aquaintances are in the German class. Sadly, they both take terrible notes. I'm going to try and muddle through with the book.
