Half-a-year vs. 2 hours

I was healthy when Olivia came down with fever.

I was alright when my brother came home from the army with throat infection and fever, two weekends in a row.

For the past whole semester (or more) I was, at the most, on the verge of illness but never quite getting there. And now I have a running nose, just because 37 hours ago the person I sat in front of for 2 hours in the exam hall had a cold.

Dammit. I remember thinking then if I'd catch the virus.

Half-a-year versus 2 hours. Fight! Half-a-year K.O. 2 hours win.
