Woke up with a sore throat this morning. Cue glasses of orange juice and herbal teas, topped off with chicken porridge in the evening.

It's only been the second time since I've felt under the weather here anyway, looks like the flu vaccine worked. The sore throat's nothing, but I hate colds and sore throats in the first place, so all of this is just pre-empting.

My books for each term cost about 50 quid, or the equivalent of S$150. Gah. Why must they be so expensive?
