learnteachToday, during the first class' egg drop (what a fun project! Great lead in to both space travel and car safety and materials engineering) I began to oddly cough. Big, deep cough from the top of my lungs. Strange. Also feel a little warm.
During the second class a parent left me a message: the student has symptoms identical to whooping cough. I was exposed to the student during the incubation period. I may have whooping cough.
It's not a bad disease...unless you are immunocompromised, under the age of two, or very old. So, I'm going to stay away from gatherings where I will meet those kind of people, and also track symptoms and get the vaccine.
No joke, 5 children have died of this. I hope I don't have it.

Good luck! Let's hope for a clean bill of health.
