Out Sick

This weekend I received a not so pleasant surprise: conjunctivitus. That's right, I have the good old pink-eye. Really it's not so bad. I feel fine, and other than dealing with the goop in my eye every morning I really have no symptoms. On the plus side, when I went to the doctor yesterday to get treated, he informed me that because conjunctivitus is contagious, I would have to miss two days of the army. I feel bad about missing work, but everyone in the army is encouraging me and telling me to relax and enjoy the time off. Seeing that I am but a lowly private I guess I'll have to follow their orders.
